Inter Milan secured their 21st Serie A title with a dominant performance, clinching the championship with three games to spare after defeating Parma 2-0 at San Siro on May 3, 2026.
Marcus Thuram opened the scoring in first-half added time, placing an angled shot just beyond the reach of Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. Henrikh Mkhitaryan then doubled the lead in the 80th minute, assisted by Lautaro Martinez, who returned from injury for this crucial match.
According to documents from the match, Inter maintained 59% possession and recorded five shots on target compared to Parma’s none. This victory not only confirmed their title but also moved them twelve points clear of defending champions Napoli.
Cristian Chivu celebrated his first major prize as a coach with this win, which marks Inter’s return to Scudetto glory since their last title in 2024. Chivu expressed that the team aimed to ‘kill off’ the Scudetto as soon as possible, reflecting their determination throughout the season.
This season has seen Inter score an impressive total of 19 goals in their past six matches leading up to this game. With only one point needed before this match to secure the championship, they delivered a performance that left little doubt about their dominance.
Parma, having already secured their Serie A safety prior to this encounter, faced a formidable opponent who was clearly on a mission. The match served as a testament to Inter’s tactical prowess and offensive capabilities under Chivu’s management.
As observers reflect on this achievement, many note that while several players worked with Chivu last season, winning the Scudetto in his first full top-flight campaign is indeed a remarkable accomplishment for the young coach.
