Marcus Thuram and Nicolò Barella have revealed that the unbreakable bond between Inter Milan's players was the driving force behind their incredible resurgence, turning a season of disappointment into a triumphant Scudetto victory.
The Nerazzurri entered their clash with Parma at San Siro needing just a single point to secure the Serie A title. They delivered in style, with Thuram slotting home a precise through ball from Piotr Zielinski just before halftime, followed by Henrikh Mkhitaryan converting a Lautaro Martinez assist to seal the win. The celebrations that followed were electric, as the team and fans alike embraced the moment.
"Barella is one of the best players in the world—he can do so much, and he's helped both Inter and Italy. In my view, he's the best Italian player. I never understood when some people doubted him," Thuram told DAZN Italia. "He gets angry on and off the field, and he's one of our captains—we must never forget that. Since I arrived at Inter, I've seen a team that loves to be together, both on and off the pitch, and that's our greatest strength."
This triumph comes after a tough previous season, where Inter ended empty-handed—losing the Champions League Final 5-0 and missing the Scudetto by just one point to Napoli. Many had written off the team's era as over, especially after Simone Inzaghi's departure. But under new manager Cristian Chivu, the squad has rallied, clinching the title with three games to spare and setting their sights on a potential Double as they face Lazio in the Coppa Italia Final on May 13.
"Of course we're happy! As we always said, this was our objective," Barella added. "Now we have another big goal in just over a week's time." The journey from heartbreak to glory underscores the resilience and unity that define this Inter side—a team that always finds a way to get back on their feet.
