Inter Milan have been crowned Italian Seria A champions in a way that their fans will find particularly satisfying. They secured the 2023-24 title with a 2-1 win over their bitter cross-town rivals AC Milan on Monday night.
Inter opened the scoring in Derby della Madonnina through defender Francesco Acerbi in the 18th minute before forward Marcus Thuram made it 2-0 early in the second half. AC Milan managed to find the net in the 80th minute thanks to Fikayo Tomori, but that wasn’t enough to spoil their rival’s celebration.
Inter is now sitting at the top of Seria A standings with 86 points, while AC Milan is second with 17 points less. There are five games left to be played in the 2023-24 Seria A season, making it impossible for anyone to catch Inter.
Inter won the Seria A last time in 2020–21, before finishing second and third, respectively. However, they managed to win the Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup in each of the past two seasons.
With another Seria A title in their cabinets, Inter now has a total of 20 national league titles, which is one more than AC Milan’s 19 and second most in Italian soccer. Juventus has the most top-flight titles with 36.
