AC Milan vs Inter final score, result, stats as Thuram fires Nerazzurri to Serie A glory, three see red
Internazionale claimed their 20th Scudetto in the sweetest fashion possible as they beat rivals AC Milan 2-1 to secure the 2023/24 Serie A title.
Simone Inzaghi’s side carried a 14-point lead into Monday’s Derby della Madonnina at San Siro. The title was a formality, but Milan needed at least draw to avoid the ignominy of handing their sworn enemies glory on the night.
Rossoneri boss Stefano Pioli shuffled his pack after the dispiriting UEFA Europa League exit at the hands of Roma, dropping Olivier Giroud and handing Rafael Leao a roving central attacking role.
Despite a “home fixture” for Milan at the stadium they share with Inter, the squad got off to a lackadaisical start. Inzaghi’s well-grooved, champion side pulled their foes around the field. Milan then picked the worst possible moment to stand still when veteran centre-back Francesco Acerbi was left unmarked to head home after Benjamin Pavard flicked on Federico Dimarco’s corner.
