Inter Milan finally wins Scudetto after 11 years

It’s been 11 years coming, but Inter Milan clinched its first Serie A title in over a decade on Sunday after Atalanta failed to win at Sassuolo.

On Saturday, goals from Christian Eriksen and Achraf Hakimi secured a 2-0 win for Inter over Crotone, a victory that moved Antonio Conte’s 14 points clear of Atalanta on Saturday.

Atalanta’s 1-1 draw Sassuolo ensured Inter wrapped up the title with four games of the season to play, its Scudetto success breaking Juventus’ Serie A stranglehold.

Inter appointed Conte, who won the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2017, in May 2019.

Inter and Juve were two of the 12 clubs that last month announced their intention to breakaway from the current UEFA competition format and create their very own European Super League, before the project quickly unraveled.

In an underwhelming season for Juve, the Turin club’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League could be scuppered by Inter when the two teams meet on May 15.
