The reward is the 19th Scudetto overall, the first since winning the championship in 2010/11. Inter was not enough to fulfill their obligations against Sampdoria (3-0) to successfully defend their title.
The fans of the “Rossoneri” could celebrate early on Sunday. The score was already 3-0 at half-time after a brace from French veteran Olivier Giroud (17′, 32′) and a goal from Franck Kessie (36′). After that, the team of coach Stefano Pioli, who has been working in Milan since October 2019, was safe.
Inter got serious at home after a goalless first half. Ivan Perisic (49th) and Joaquin Correa (55th, 57th) scored the 25th victory in the 38th match (84 points). The cup winner hoped in vain for the competition to slip up.
Third place went to SSC Napoli (79), a respectable distance ahead of Juventus (70). The Turin team, who were subscription champions between 2012 and 2020, remained untitled for the first time in eleven seasons. Behind them ended up the two Roman clubs Lazio (64) and AS (63).
Marko Arnautovic ended the championship with Bologna in twelfth or 13th place. The ÖFB team striker scored 14 goals in his debut season in the university town, only seven players were more successful before the final two games of the last round in Serie A. Lazio’s Ciro Immobile could no longer take the top scorer’s crown with 27 goals.
