Inter Milan, one of the most successful clubs in the history of Italian football, has etched their names in Serie A history books by securing their 20th Scudetto title in a thrilling and intense Derby della Madonnina clash against their arch-rivals AC Milan. This historic victory has marked the first time in the 116-year history of the Milan derby that a Serie A title has been settled between these two giants of Italian football.
Inter Milan started the game with a lot of confidence and quickly asserted their dominance over their opponents. Francesco Acerbi rose above the Milan defence and nodded home a header from Benjamin Pavard’s flick-on to give Inter the lead. Marcus Thuram doubled their lead with a powerful strike after capitalizing on a defensive lapse.
AC Milan tried to mount a comeback late in the game, and Fikayo Tomori scored a header to reduce the deficit. However, their efforts were overshadowed by a fiery conclusion that saw tempers flaring, resulting in a brawl that saw red cards brandished for Theo Hernandez (Milan), Denzel Dumfries (Inter), and Davide Calabria (Milan), who received his marching orders for violent conduct.
Despite being the designated home team, AC Milan found themselves outnumbered on the pitch as Inter players and staff celebrated their historic Scudetto triumph at the San Siro. This decisive victory extends Inter’s lead to an unassailable 17 points over their city rivals with just five games remaining in the season.

Inter’s title win signifies a monumental achievement. They have now surpassed AC Milan’s tally of 19 Serie A titles, solidifying their position as the second most-decorated club in the history of Italian league football, trailing only Juventus.
Simone Inzaghi, the coach of Inter Milan, has orchestrated a remarkable campaign for the Nerazzurri. Inter boasts a staggering 27-game unbeaten run in Serie A, with a league-leading 79 goals scored and the meanest defence, conceding a mere 18 goals. Their derby win extends their dominance over Milan to six consecutive victories, tying the record set by the Rossoneri in the past.
This Scudetto triumph is a testament to Inter Milan’s unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of glory. They have cemented their position as a powerhouse in Italian football and left an indelible mark on the history of the Derby della Madonnina.
