Inter Milan clinched their 21st Serie A title with a convincing 2-0 win over Parma.
04 May 2026
Needing only a point to claim the Scudetto with three games to spare, Marcus Thuram and Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck the decisive goals in the success at San Siro.
Inter, who last won the title in 2024, moved 12 points clear of defending champions Napoli.
France forward Thuram opened the scoring in first-half added time, powering a right-footed finish into the corner past Parma keeper Zion Suzuki.
Inter had to wait until the 80th minute for their second, with Lautaro Martinez sending the ball across the face of goal for his fellow substitute, 37-year-old Mkhitaryan, to slot home.
Blue and gold ribbons littered the pitch at the end as Inter boss Cristian Chivu celebrated his first major prize as a coach, having won Serie A three times as a player with the club.
He had told the media before the game that Inter wanted to "kill off" the Scudetto, external "as soon as possible".
And they dominated against 12th-placed Parma, with five of their 12 shots on target, compared to the visiting side's none from four, 59% possession and three big chances.
Inter have scored 19 goals in their past six matches and were favourites to be crowned champions, having won 26 of their 35 matches.

After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, strikes from Salma Paralluelo and captain Alexia Putellas either side of Linda Dallman's equaliser put Barca on course for a sixth straight Champions League final.
Goals after the break from Ewa Pajor and Putellas, before a consolation strike from Pernille Harder, confirmed a 5-3 aggregate victory in front of a capacity crowd of more than 60,000.
In a frantic first half which featured three goals in nine minutes, Paralluelo latched on to Caroline Graham Hansen's cross at the back post to put Barca ahead.
Bayern equalised when Harder drove forward on the counter-attack before laying off for Dallmanto to score with a first-time finish.
Barca restored their advantage through Putellas, who finished from inside the penalty area after Vanessa Gilles failed to clear.
Pajor converted Paralluelo's cross from the left and Putellas acrobatically volleyed in after Esmee Brugts' header from a set-piece.
Harder capitalised on poor defending to pull a goal back for Bayern, before substitute Arianna Caruso had an effort tipped on to the crossbar by Barca keeper Catalina Coll, and Dallman hit the bar moments later.
Harder netted for a second time in stoppage time, only for the goal to be disallowed for a foul in the build-up.
Barca midfielder Aitana Bonmati, the winner of the past three Ballons d'Or, came on as a second-half substitute, her first appearance since breaking a leg in November.
"I'm so happy to be back. We make it to another final," she told ESPN.
"Our team is doing an amazing season. Another Champions League final. Incredible team.
"In my career I've had very special moments but today is one of the most special moments. Back from a long injury in front of 60,000 people and beating Bayern is special."
Tottenham Hotspur moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with an outstanding victory at Aston Villa as new head coach Roberto de Zerbi's rescue mission gathered momentum.

West Ham United's defeat at Brentford on Saturday left the door ajar for Spurs to go above their rivals - and they stormed through it with arguably their finest performance of the season.
They made light of injuries to key forwards Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke in last weekend's victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers - their first in the league since 28 December - to establish a fully deserved two-goal lead at the interval against their fifth-placed hosts.
Conor Gallagher's first goal since his January move from Atletico Madrid, a crisp low finish from 20 yards, was just reward for a fine start as the visitors led after 12 minutes.
Joao Palhinha then hit the post with a swerving effort, but Spurs' second goal was not long in coming as Richarlison headed emphatically past Villa keeper Emi Martinez from Mathys Tel's cross in the 25th minute.
Villa manager Unai Emery made seven changes from the team that lost to Nottingham Forest in the Europa League semi-final first leg, with one eye clearly on Thursday's return at Villa Park - and it showed in a dismal display.
Substitute Emi Buendia pulled a goal back with seconds left, heading home Matty Cash's cross, but it was too little, too late as Spurs secured the crucial win that moved them a point ahead of West Ham with just three league games left.
Kobbie Mainoo celebrated his new contract by scoring the winner that swept Manchester United back into the Champions League as they clinched a five-goal thriller against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

United led 2-0 at the break, thanks to early goals from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko.
However, Liverpool turned the contest on its head immediately after half-time as Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo capitalised on errors to level.
But in a frenzied finish, Liverpool failed to clear Luke Shaw's cross and the ball fell kindly for Mainoo on the edge of the area and he crashed a first-time effort into the bottom corner.
It came three days after Mainoo signed a new five-year contract at United - in a season when he did not start a league game under former boss Ruben Amorim.
In a game missed by Sir Alex Ferguson, who was taken from the ground in an ambulance as a precaution after feeling unwell, the victory confirmed United's return to Europe's elite club competition after a two-year absence and means Liverpool still need four points to confirm their spot.
Almost as important in meetings between England's two most successful clubs, this win gave United bragging rights thanks to their first league double over Liverpool since 2015-16.
That can only strengthen Michael Carrick's claim to be appointed head coach on a permanent basis.
Carrick has now beaten Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea to complete a clean sweep of England's 'Super League' clubs.
Arsenal moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League with Bukayo Saka playing a starring role and Viktor Gyokeres taking his season's goal tally to 21 as they comfortably beat Fulham at Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta's men took the chance to pile the pressure on title rivals Manchester City who have played two games fewer than the Gunners and are not in action until Monday when they visit Everton.
Arsenal went ahead in the ninth minute when Saka, making his first start since March after an Achilles injury, easily beat Raul Jimenez down the right and picked out Gyokeres to tap in from close range for his 20th goal of the campaign.
The Swedish striker then turned provider five minutes before the break when he slipped a pass into Saka and the England winger curled a quality low finish past Fulham keeper Bernd Leno at his near post.
Gyokeres then claimed his second on the night when he headed home Leandro Trossard's cross to wrap up the three points in first-half stoppage time.
The Gunners almost added a fourth when Riccardo Calafiori headed on to the crossbar, with the Italian having had an earlier strike ruled out for offside.
Having made five changes to his starting line-up, Arteta was also able to take off Saka at half-time and rest other key players as focus moved to Arsenal's Champions League semi-final second-leg tie against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. The game is finely poised at 1-1 for the return leg at Emirates Stadium.
