Serie A: Inter Milan clinchs Scudetto title with 2-1 win over AC Milan

Inter Milan clinched their 20th league title on Monday, following a 2-1 win over arch-rivals AC Milan in the second Derby della Madonnina of the 2023/24 season.

Despite the perfect start of the game, disagreements from both teams players added tweaks to the finality of the match as three players were sent off, including Milan captain Davide Calabria in the second half.

Inter dominated Stefano Pioli’s side from the outset and capitalised on their early pressure to get a deserved break in the 18th minute when Francesco Acerbi nodded home from Benjamin Pavard’s flick.

As the first half progressed, Inter remained the aggressor, with Lautaro Martínez missing a golden opportunity and Sommer denying Leão’s threatening effort. The contest remained open, with both sides creating chances before the break.

The second half mirrored the intensity of the first, with Inter extending their lead through Marcus Thuram’s impressive individual effort in the 49th minute.

Despite Fikayo Tomori’s consolation strike for Milan in the 80th minute, Inter maintained control to secure their 20th Serie A title amidst late-game drama that saw multiple players sent off.

The victory extends Inter’s unbeaten league run to 27 matches, while Simone Inzaghi finally wins a league title for the first time in his managerial career.
