Grande Inter!
Inter Milan secured their 20th Scudetto thanks to a 2-1 win in the “Derby della Madonnina” against city rivals AC Milan. ÖFB star Marko Arnautovic, who remains unused, can also celebrate. For the 35-year-old Viennese, it is the second Italian championship with the “Nerazzurri” after winning the title in 2010.
Inter, trained by successful coach Simone Inzaghi, is 17 points ahead of rivals Milan and can therefore no longer be caught five match days before the end of the season. Inter have only lost once in 33 games played.

Milan’s glimmer of hope evaporates
The black and blue celebrations in the venerable San Siro are started by an early goal. Defender Acerbi, completely free-standing, heads an extended corner cross into the net (18th) and is allowed to turn into the corner to celebrate.
Meanwhile, Milan is trying hard, but without any real idea in the final third. Top star Leao, unusually deployed as a center forward this evening, is often left to his own devices and misses a great chance to equalize (29′). Thuram, his counterpart on Inter’s side, leaves a great opportunity to make it 2-0 (38th).
But the Frenchman remained persistent and was able to create the next goal ecstasy shortly after the break (49th) and make it 2-0. For their part, the “Rossoneri” don’t give up and find their way back into the game with a header from Tomori (80th). Afterwards, Stefano Pioli’s team remained too harmless to complete the comeback.
Emotions boil over
In stoppage time, emotions run high, Hernandez and Dumfries clash in a commotion and are consequently sent off with a red card (90th + 4). Calabria is also sent to shower early after an elbow check (90th + 7).
Despite the bitter home defeat, Milan is still five points ahead of Juventus in second place. Participation in the Champions League is almost certain for the “Rossoneri”.
