For the 1910th time, Italy was dotted with black and blue colors, the second star shone from the coat of arms of the giants from Milan, and if you were to ask the fans of Inter, probably the most beloved Scudetto has arrived - from the first one back in 2006, through the one they won in 17 after XNUMX years, to the last won two nights ago.
There are many reasons why this one was special, but one of the biggest is surely because it was officially won by the victory against the city rival and biggest sports opponent Milan at the common temple of football San Siro (2:1).
Behind the famous "Derby della Madonina" there are 116 years of history and rivalry, and for the first time it happened that a new champion of Italy was crowned during it.
"The Nerazzurri" put an end to an unforgettable almost nine months in the most beautiful way, to a season during which they dominated, played the most beautiful football in the Apennines and in the end, five rounds before the end, they left the "Rossonera" at a huge minus 17 and opened the champagne...
"Inter to the stars" is the cover of Milan's "Gazeta delo Sport".
And "Korijere delo Sport" tied Inter's Scudetto to two stars on the coat of arms.
"Interstellar", is the title of a Roman newspaper that reminds of the famous film of the same name (here I translate it as Interstellar) with Matthew McConaughey.
58
a year has passed since Inter's first star - the Nerazzurri won their tenth Scudetto in 1966 under the leadership of Eleni Herrera
Although there are still five rounds until the end of the season, it is clear that this year's title will be one of the most convincing that Inter has won, and it could even threaten its record of 22 points ahead of the runner-up set by the "Indestructibles". Roberto Mancini 2007. years.
"I am on the verge of tears when I see this joy, we deserved it," said the top scorer of Serie A after the Milan derby. Lautaro Martinez.
All of them are heroes of great success, but in addition to the Argentine master, three other key figures stand out - the sports director Bepe Marota, a midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu and before all Simone Inzaghi, the man who finally reached the Scudetto and showed that he is a coach for big things.
"It has been a long journey for me and my coaching staff... When I think back to my first games in the Champions League against Real Madrid and Liverpool, who were finalists that year, I could already see positive signs and I was convinced that we can continue to build the team," Inzaghi told "Dazn".
For Inzaghi, this was the sixth trophy in three years on the bench of Inter, and he finally "erased" the nickname "King of Cups", as he has won in those competitions with the "Nerazzurri" and earlier when he led Lazio.
79
goals scored by Inter this season in Serie A - 15 more than second-placed Milan. The Nerazzurri also have the best defense in the league with 18 goals conceded
In the end, the numbers never lie - Inter celebrated the Scudetto with the 27th game in a row that they did not lose in Serie A, and the only club that defeated them this season in the championship was Sassuolo back in September.
During the 33 rounds, he won a total of 27 times, and in addition to the aforementioned defeat, there were also five draws... In addition to all that, he scored the most goals in Serie A by far (79, even 15 more than Milan), and his net was shaken only 18 times - Juventus and Bologna have the second best defense (26).
17
Inter had more points than the second-placed Milan when they won the title - the biggest difference this club had in front of the runners-up was in 2007, when they left Roma at minus 22
In the end, there is hardly anyone who thinks that the second star did not arrive in a magnificent way - Inter is the champion of Italy for the 20th time, Milan is behind with 19 titles, while Juve is still far behind with 36 cups.
Galijani 2011: The goal is to reach the second star before Inter
Inter reached the second star (each is awarded after ten titles) in Italy by winning over the biggest rival Milan, and the media from the Apennines were reminded of the interesting statement of Adriano Galliani from 2011.
Galiani was still one of the main men in Milan at that time, and the "Rossoneri" celebrated their 18th Scudetto that year and equaled the number of titles with Inter - just one year after Mourinho's unforgettable treble.
"The goal is to reach the second star before Inter," Galiani said that year. Since then, Milan has been the champion of Italy only one more time, and Inter won the second one two nights ago and pinned the second star above the coat of arms.
