Inter's 21st: Inzaghi hugs his dad.

The night itself

San Siro was already wound tight before kick-off, and Marcus Thuram made sure it didn't have to wait long for a reason to properly lose its mind. The Frenchman puts Inter ahead just before half-time — a goal that lands like a full stop on a sentence Parma never really had a chance to finish. The visitors, to their credit, showed up. They just showed up to the wrong party.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan wraps it up on 80', arriving in the box with the calm of a man who has won things before and fully intends to again. 2-0. Done. The San Siro doesn't so much erupt as exhale — three years of pressure releasing all at once.

Twelve points and counting

Inter go 12 points clear of defending champions Napoli with three rounds left. That's not a title race — that's a procession with better lighting. Simone Inzaghi has built something that simply doesn't stop: relentless, deep-squaded, tactically suffocating when it needs to be. The Scudetto was a matter of when, not if, for most of the second half of the season.

Napoli, who lifted this trophy last year, will have watched from wherever Napoli watches things. Quietly.

The moment that mattered most

Inzaghi celebrates by climbing to the directors' box and hugging his 80-year-old father. He didn't have to do it on camera. He did it anyway, and nobody minded.

Marotta — Inter's president, architect of this squad, the man who has been building toward exactly this — cries. Not a single tear. Full crying. Italian football does not do restraint, and on a night like this, why would it.

Twenty-one Scudetti. The most in Serie A history, shared with Juventus until now — and now, definitively, theirs alone. Inter Milan are the champions of Italy. The paperwork is done.
