Can this night be any better for Inter Milan fans? Not only did their favorite team won the 20th title in Serie A with five games to spare, but they did it by defeating the eternal rival AC Milan in Derbi Della Madonnina! From tonight, it’s official what we knew all along – Nerazzurri are by far the best team in Italy. With only one defeat all season, with 17 goals conceded (second team has 26) and 79 goals scored (second team has 63), they were unstoppable. Unlike last season, when Napoli was dominant and Inter finished third with 12 defeats but also a Champions League final, this year there was no dilemma who will be first, and it’s totally deserved. And what’s even sweeter is a win against rivals Milan 2-1. In fact, looking at the recent statistics, Nerazzurri this is almost an expected win. Tonight they recorded their sixth derby win in a row, a run that has come with an aggregate score of 14-2 – and that included back-to-back Champions League semi-final wins last season.Inter: ‘Our destiny, your nightmare’Milan: ‘Nothing changes’ #MilanInter pic.twitter.com/tFEaNuCz81— Alasdair Mackenzie (@aksmackenzie) April 22, 2024 Rossoneri were desperate to avoid the humiliation of giving their hated rivals the title at the derby match, but they were simply powerless. This is their fourth game in a row without a win (three defeats, one draw) and it would take a miracle for Stefano Pioli to stay as a coach beyond this season. The Italian tactician tried to change the team and shake up his squad by leaving Giroud on the bench and starting Leao as a striker, with Musah as a right and Pulisic as the left winger and Adli coming in with Reijnders in central midfield. That didn’t work either.GOAL | AC MILAN 0-1 INTER MILAN | ACERBI WITH THE OPENERpic.twitter.com/Z9RdvcMZIb— SimplyGoal (@SimplyGoal) April 22, 2024 GOAL | AC MILAN 0-2 INTER MILAN | MARCUS THURAMpic.twitter.com/QQs883y520— SimplyGoal (@SimplyGoal) April 22, 2024 In the first derby of the season, in a 5-1 thrashing of AC Milan, Inter scored after only five minutes. This time they needed 18 minutes before veteran Acerbi (36 years old) scored probably the most important goal in his career and the formal guests took the lead. He used Dimarco’s cross and without any guardian near him headed the ball from five meters. But that was not a wake-up call for AC Milan, as they nearly conceded seven minutes after the first goal. Lautaro Martinez made an embarrassing miss from eight meters, and a couple of minutes later, the home fans were scared again, and this time from Thuram. Both clubs had a chance in the same minute, when Sommer denied Calabria before his counterpart Maignan saved a shot from former Manchester United man Mkhitaryan.GOAL | AC MILAN 1-2 INTER MILAN | FIKAYO TOMORI GETS ONE BACK FOR AC MILANpic.twitter.com/vSiqhES2ju— SimplyGoal (@SimplyGoal) April 22, 2024 Just as the second half started, Inter closed the game. Thuram took the ball inside from the left wing and fired a low shot past Maignan into the bottom corner. A fantastic shot for the title. The home fans were in despair as their team couldn’t create a proper chance until 81st minute, when Fikayo Tomori scored from a Sommer rebound. Three minutes later Pavard made a goal-line clearance but that was it from Rossonerri. Until the end, both teams only managed a small brawl which ended with three red cards. AC Milan fans and players just cannot wait to finish this season and turn the page with a new coach.No no no please no fight#MilanInter #DerbyMilano #Inter #Milan #SerieA #ميلان_إنتر pic.twitter.com/ALtWzlbwOJ— TopTrends90 (@TopTrends90) April 22, 2024 SERIE A – MATCHDAY 33FridayGenoa – Lazio 0-1 (0-0)/Luis Alberto 67/Cagliari – Juventus 2-2 (2-0)/Gaetano 30 pen, Mina 36 pen – Vlahovic 61, Dossena 87 og/SaturdayEmpoli – Napoli 1-0 (1-0)/Cerri 4/Verona – Udinese 0-1 (0-0)/Coppola 90+3/SundaySassuolo – Lecce 0-3 (0-2)/Gendrey 11, Dorgu 15, Piccoli 61/Torino – Frosinone 0-0Salernitana – Fiorentina 0-2 (0-0)/Kouame 80, Ikone 90+5/Monza – Atalanta 0-1 (0-1)/De Ketelaere 44/MondayRoma – Bologna 1-3 (0-2)/Azmoun 56 – Azzouzi 14, Zirkzee 45, Saelemaekers 65, /Milan – Inter 1-2(0-1)/Tomori 80 – Acerbi 18, Thuram 49/
