The campaign was a dominant one, with Inter finishing 12 points clear of second-placed Napoli, while AC Milan trailed by 15 and Juventus by 17. According to Serie A statistics, Inter scored 82 goals in the league, the only side to exceed 60, and recorded 17 clean sheets, a mark equaled only by Como. Marcus Thuram gave Inter the lead just before the interval, converting a pass from Piotr Zielinski.
After the break, Henrikh Mkhitaryan doubled the advantage, finishing a move involving substitute Lautaro Martínez, sparking wild celebrations. Match reports noted that Nicolò Barella had earlier rattled the crossbar in the 25th minute. Inter's squad depth was hailed by Gazzetta dello Sport as pivotal to their success.
San Siro is boiling. Inter humiliates its rivals with its superiority.
Club sources confirmed that Lautaro Martínez, the league's top scorer, missed 10 starts due to a calf injury but still contributed key goals off the bench. Denzel Dumfries, according to the club, was sidelined for three months after ankle surgery, while Hakan Calhanoglu was limited to just 22 league appearances because of fitness issues. Despite these challenges, Inter maintained their consistency.
Manager Cristian Chivu, a former Inter defender, was appointed last summer to replace Simone Inzaghi, according to Italian media reports. The same reports indicated that the club initially targeted Cesc Fàbregas, but the Spaniard decided to stay at Como. Biographical records show that Chivu had only one previous senior management role at Parma; however, he spent seven years as a player at Inter and later coached the club's youth teams.
His future beyond this season remains unconfirmed. Inter's Champions League campaign was not detailed in available reports. Meanwhile, the battle for Champions League qualification remained tight, with league projections indicating that Napoli, AC Milan, Juventus, Como, and Roma were still in contention.
