Inter Milan Secures 21st Scudetto in Dramatic Finale vs Parma
Inter Milan has etched their name into football history by securing their 21st Serie A title with a 2-0 victory over Parma at the San Siro on Sunday, May 3, 2026. The triumph, marked by two late goals from Marcus Thuram and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, caps a season of resilience and tactical brilliance under Simone Inzaghi.
How Inter Claimed the Scudetto
The Nerazzurri needed just one point to mathematically seal the title, but their 2-0 win over Parma was anything but a formality. The match, played in front of a raucous San Siro crowd, saw Inter dominate possession and create multiple chances before breaking the deadlock in the 45th minute.
Thuram opened the scoring with a clinical finish after a quick counterattack, even as Mkhitaryan added a second in the 80th minute to ensure Inter’s 21st Scudetto. The victory came after a season of near-misses and late drama, including a 2-2 draw with Torino just days earlier that had left their title hopes hanging in the balance.
“It was tough to imagine it like this. This team has shown incredible character and belief. We never gave up, and today we celebrate a historic achievement.”

For Simone Inzaghi, this title solidifies his legacy as one of Italy’s greatest managers. His ability to blend tactical pragmatism with a high-pressing style has redefined Inter’s identity, transforming them from a team in transition into Serie A champions.
