Inter Milan Crowned Serie A Champions After Derby Victory Over AC Milan

Historic Triumph Earns Club 20th League Title

Rossoneri's hopes of securing their first Scudetto since 2011 shattered in thrilling encounter

ROME, Italy - Inter Milan have been crowned Serie A champions for the 20th time in their history after defeating arch-rivals AC Milan 2-1 in a pulsating derby della Madonnina. The victory secures the Nerazzurri their first league title in 11 years and earns them the right to wear a second star on their team shirts. Francesco Acerbi headed the Nerazzurri into the lead just before half-time, with Edin Dzeko doubling their advantage in the second half. Olivier Giroud's late goal for Milan proved to be a consolation as Inter held on to secure the three points and the Serie A title. The victory marks a remarkable achievement for Inter manager Simone Inzaghi, who has led the club to their second major trophy in his first season at the helm. Inter had been in impressive form throughout the season, topping the Serie A table for much of the campaign. AC Milan, who had been hoping to secure their first Scudetto since 2011, will be left to rue a disappointing end to their season. The Rossoneri had been the closest challengers to Inter, but their defeat in the derby has ended their title hopes. Inter's victory also has significant implications for the race for the Champions League places. Juventus and Napoli are now guaranteed a top-four finish, while Atalanta and Roma will battle for the remaining two places.
