Match Summary and Title Triumph
Inter confirmed their status as Serie A champions for the 21st time with a composed 2-0 win over Parma at San Siro, halting the visitors’ sequence of four games without defeat. After Napoli’s goalless draw the previous day, Simone Inzaghi’s side needed just a single point to seal the Scudetto, but Inter instead pushed for victory and delivered the goods on home soil.

The hosts had an early scare as Enrico Del Prato was afforded a free header close to goal—though an offside flag would have intervened had he found the net. Inter responded swiftly, with Denzel Dumfries timing his run to meet a Nicolò Barella cross, only to direct his header wide.
Despite having already secured their league survival, Parma refused to capitulate, and Mateo Pellegrino squandered a promising opportunity after twenty minutes, volleying hastily with time to spare. Inter went close midway through the half, when a flowing move involving Barella, Petar Sučić, and Pio Esposito ended with Barella’s shot rattling the underside of the crossbar before being clawed away by Zion Suzuki in goal.
Pivotal Moments and Second-Half Control
Parma, having kept clean sheets in their last two fixtures, were minutes away from repeating the feat until stoppage time before the interval. Inter broke the deadlock when Piotr Zieliński slipped a clever pass through to Marcus Thuram, who coolly notched his sixth goal in the past five league matches, giving Inter a deserved half-time lead.
The Nerazzurri did not create a raft of chances early in the second half against a Parma side who had netted just 25 times all campaign. Despite opportunities being sparse, Inter’s one-goal cushion appeared ever more secure as the minutes ticked by. Sučić’s blocked effort was the only notable attempt from either team in the opening period after the restart.
Federico Dimarco was instrumental down the left, twice delivering dangerous balls into the penalty area, but connections from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Dumfries failed to trouble the Parma defence. Substitute Lautaro Martínez registered the first shot on target of the second period in the 78th minute, but his effort was comfortably smothered by Suzuki. The deciding blow came just two minutes later: Martínez’s precise ball across the box was turned in by Mkhitaryan, doubling the advantage and confirming Inter’s status as champions.
Statistical Overview and Streaks
Inter’s commanding finish saw them claim their fifth win in six matches and extend their unbeaten home run to 11 league fixtures. The Scudetto marks their second league title in three seasons, a testament to their recent dominance. Parma, meanwhile, suffered just their second defeat in seven matches away from home and now find themselves winless in ten consecutive head-to-head meetings with Inter.
Nesta Elphege thought he had scored a late goal for Carlos Cuesta’s side, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
