Inter Milan Crowned Serie A Champions After Derby Win Over AC Milan
Thuram and Acerbi Goals Secure Nerazzurri's 20th Title
Milan, Italy - May 16, 2023
Inter Milan have been crowned champions of Serie A after a thrilling 2-1 victory over arch-rivals AC Milan in a historic Derby della Madonnina. With the win, Inter secured their 20th Italian title and extended their lead over AC Milan to 11 points with three games remaining in the season.
Inter took the lead in the 38th minute through Francesco Acerbi's header from a corner kick. The Nerazzurri doubled their advantage just before halftime when Marcus Thuram finished off a swift counterattack. AC Milan pulled one back in the second half through Olivier Giroud, but it was not enough to prevent Inter from sealing the title.
The victory was Inter's 10th by a margin of three goals or more this season. One more triumph by any scoreline will make the Nerazzurri uncatchable and secure their first Serie A title since 2021.
Inter's victory was a fitting end to a season that has seen them dominate from start to finish. The Nerazzurri have lost just three games in Serie A all season, conceding only 24 goals in 35 matches. Their defense has been rock-solid, led by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic and center-back Milan Skriniar.
In attack, Inter have been equally impressive. Lautaro Martinez has led the line with 21 goals in Serie A, while Romelu Lukaku has contributed 13 goals in his return to the club. Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella have also been key contributors in midfield.
Inter's title victory is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team and the coaching staff. Simone Inzaghi has done a remarkable job in his first season in charge of the Nerazzurri, leading the team to their first Scudetto in 11 years.
