Inter Milan’s twentieth Scudetto seems to be edging closer after their victory over Empoli on 1st April, making Inter Milan one league title above their city rivals, AC Milan, and the second club in Serie A history with the most league titles with only Juventus above them.
Dominant Inter Milan Closing In on the Scudetto
Inter’s goals in their 2 – 0 win against Empoli came from Federico Dimarco, an Inter Academy product, and Alexis Sanchez, a former Arsenal player. Alessandro Bastoni provided the assist for Dimarco and joked in an interview after the match that he made a poor pass but Dimarco “made it look much better!” The two goals were enough to place Inter comfortably at the top of Serie A with the 14-point gap between them and the second-placed Inter Milan remaining intact.
Inzaghi’s 100th Victory and First Scudetto Win With Inter Milan
The 2 – 0 straightforward win was enough to secure Simone Inzaghi’s 100th victory as Inter’s coach in his 150th match in charge. Inzhagi joined Inter from Lazio in 2021 and seeks to establish himself as a formidable coach in the football world by winning his first Scudetto as a manager after winning Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana both at Lazio and Inter Milan as well as being UEFA Champion’s League runners in the 2022/2023 season with Inter.
According to Inter Milan’s official website, the young manager did not “celebrate in front of the microphones because he’d lost his voice.” This action shows how Inzaghi exuded his happiness due to the imminent clinch over his first Scudetto as a manager.

Over the past four Serie A seasons, the rivalry between Inter and AC Milan has been intense with Inter winning the league title once in the 2020/2021 season and Milan winning the league the season after. Inter securing the Scudetto this season has a significant impact on the historical rivalry of the two clubs as it would place Inter back as the club with the most league titles in the city of Milan.
Currently, Inter Milan are 14 points ahead of the second-placed AC Milan which means they could clinch the Scudetto on 22nd April in their derby match against Milan. Therefore, the next match two matches Inter has against Udinese on the 8th of April and Cagliari on the 14th of April are crucial prior to the title-deciding derby against Milan at the legendary San Siro Stadium.
Nerazzurri’s Second Star upon Winning Twentieth Scudetto
Inter Milan will be awarded a second star on their badge should they win another league title. According to The Sun, stars on football shirts bring a sense of pride among the members of the club or national team as well as among the fans. Therefore, Inter Milan being added a second star would establish a sense of pride and respect for the club in the world of football.
