A city bathed in celebration, that might sound personal, even political today, but in Milan it was all about football. The blue and black took over the skyline as Inter sealed their 21st Scudetto, sparking scenes of jubilation that lasted throughout the night.
Needing just a point from their last four games, Christian Chiva’s side made sure they achieved the inevitable, right in their own backyard. And it didn’t take more than a second for the city to erupt in celebration, with thousands of supporters spilling into the streets. I Nerazzurri fans packed the Piazza Duomo, chanting and celebrating after a 2-0 win over Parma gave them an unassailable lead over defending champions Napoli with three games to play.
“I spent 19 years at this club. It means everything to me. My children were born in Milan. I’ve been in this wonderful city for almost 20 years and I’m happy,” Inter head coach Christian Chivu said after the final whistle, as quoted by SkySport.
Chivu had the honor of lifting the trophy three times with Inter as a player between 2007 and 2010. “I had the opportunity to wear this shirt and win, to be the coach of this club and now to win as a coach,” he added.
Marcus Thuram and Heinrich Mkhitaryan were on the scoresheet for the home side as Inter against Parma sparked celebrations in Milan. For Inter and its fans, it offered a triumph of redemption after the heartbreak of last season, when the club lost the Serie A title on the final matchday. before a 5-0 thrashing by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.
“We feel so happy now. It was not easy to start again after a season where we lost all the competitions we were in at the end, but today I am very happy with this success,” said Inter striker Lautaro Martinez. “It was a very important goal for us, maybe a lot of people didn’t see us as favorites given what happened last season but we worked so hard on and off the pitch.
The celebrations are expected to continue ahead of the Coppa Italia final on May 13, when Lazio stand in the way of Inter’s home double.
