Inter beat Parma and mathematically clinch their 21st Scudetto . Celebrations immediately erupted at the Meazza, while a wave of Nerazzurri fans flocked to the center of Milan, especially Piazza Castello and Piazza Duomo, to celebrate the triumph of Cristian Chivu's team, who enjoyed a resounding success in their first full season in Serie A.

A draw would have been enough to mathematically secure the title, given their nine-point lead over Napoli (who played and drew in Como) with three games to go, but Inter weren't satisfied, beating an already safe Parma 2-0 to move to a 12-point lead. Thuram's goal at the end of the first half , a right-footed shot to the far post following a beautiful assist from Zielinski, paved the way for the hosts, who found the double in the 80th minute through Mkhitaryan, who collected a perfect pass from top scorer Lautaro, who had come on after injury, just in time to celebrate the title as a protagonist .

The Inter world was already ready that afternoon. The team bus was greeted by a cheering crowd, amid Nerazzurri chants and smoke bombs. And at the Meazza gates, fans were found wearing scarves and t-shirts emblazoned with the Italian flag and the number 21, taunting their main rivals.

As soon as Bonacina blew the final whistle , celebrations erupted at the stadium, in front of 75,000 spectators. Meanwhile, the rest of the Nerazzurri fans began their long night of celebrations in the city .

Spontaneously, nothing organized: the official celebrations will in fact be held in two Sundays when, on the occasion of Inter-Verona, the last home match of Chivu's team, there will be the awards ceremony followed by a procession through the streets of the city with the players on an open-top bus .
