Inter Milan Clinch 20th Italian Title After Beating Rivals Ac Milan

Inter Milan last night emerged Italian champions after beating arch-rivals and nearest challengers AC Milan 2-1 in their local derby

Although both teams use the same ground for their home games, AC Milan were the host on the night and fell behind as early as the 18 minute of the game when an unmarked Francesco Acerbi was allowed to head in Benjamin Pavard’s flick-on from a corner.

Marcus Thuram scored the second four minutes into the second half when he latched onto a long ball before smashing into the bottom corner at the San Siro.

Fikayo Tomori headed in from close range to give Milan brief hope ten minutes from time but Inter held on winning their 20th Seia A title

There were three red cards in injury time as tempers boiled over. Milan’s Theo Hernandez and Inter’s Denzel Dumfries were sent off for their part in a brawl and the hosts ended with nine men as captain Davide Calabria was sent off for violent conduct.

The win see Inter open up an unassailable lead on second placed AC Milan. Inter with 86 points can never be caught as they are 17 points ahead of AC Milan with five matches left to play

This was the first time the Serie A title has ever been won in the 116 years of the Milan derby.


Inter Milan’s 20th Italian crown takes them above AC Milan’s 19 Serie A titles and only below Juventus.

But this was only their second title since 2010, last winning under Antonio Conte in 2021.

Simone Inzaghi has brought the good times back to the Nerazzurri, cruising to the Scudetto with five games to spare on the back of a 27-game unbeaten run in the league.

They have scored 79 goals, 15 clear of anybody else, and conceded only 18, eight fewer than any other side.

Inter have now won the last six derbies, equalling the record runs of Milan from 1911-1913 and 1946-1948.
