Serie A 35ª Giornata: Inter Campione d'Italia, Sfide Cruciali per la Salvezza e la Champions

L'Inter has officially won its 21st Scudetto in the 2025/2026 Serie A with three matchdays to spare, thanks to a 2-0 victory over Parma at San Siro. The win came after a match where the Nerazzurri intensified their pressure late in the first half, finding the opening goal through Thuram in stoppage time. In the second half, Mkhitaryan sealed the victory with a goal in the 80th minute, sparking celebrations among the over 70,000 fans in attendance.

Inter’s manager, Cristian Chivu, thus celebrates the title in his first season at the helm, a prestigious milestone crowning the team’s dominant campaign. The victory comes after a season marked by dominance, with a 12-point lead over second-placed Napoli and three matches still to play.

Meanwhile, the league continues with crucial clashes at both the bottom and the top of the table. Udinese extended their positive run with a 2-0 win over Torino, while Como held Napoli to a 0-0 draw in a balanced but uneventful match. Atalanta and Genoa also played out a goalless stalemate. These results keep tensions high in the relegation and European qualification battles.

The matchday began on Friday with Lecce’s 2-1 win over Pisa, a result that effectively relegated the Tuscan side, along with already-doomed Verona. Saturday saw several key matches, including Juventus’ 1-1 draw with Verona and Milan’s surprising 2-0 loss at Sassuolo, where Tomori was sent off in the first half, complicating the Rossoneri’s task.

The Inter-Parma showdown, decided by Thuram’s late first-half strike, confirmed the Nerazzurri’s title. The results have reignited the race for the final Champions League spots, especially after Juventus’ draw and Milan’s defeat.

As the 35th matchday nears its end, attention shifts to the final two fixtures: Cremonese-Lazio and Roma-Fiorentina, both scheduled for Monday, May 4. For Cremonese, battling relegation, securing points against a Lazio already focused on the Coppa Italia final against Inter will be crucial. Romano Floriani Mussolini, on loan from Lazio, may feature, with Cremonese potentially triggering his €5 million buyout clause in June.

Roma-Fiorentina will close the Serie A matchday in a high-stakes clash: the Giallorossi must win to keep their Champions League 2026/27 hopes alive, while Viola—safe but not yet mathematically secure—will aim to consolidate their position and avoid late drama.

Elsewhere, Bologna’s 0-0 draw with Cagliari edged the Sardinians closer to safety while complicating Bologna’s push for 7th place. An intense round, then, confirming the excitement and balance of a league heading into its final stages.

Inter, having rightfully claimed the title, now looks ahead to new European challenges under Cristian Chivu. Meanwhile, the relegation and continental qualification battles keep Serie A alive, with key matches remaining and the promise of drama until the final whistle.
