Inter Milan's march to the Serie A title now feels less like a race and more like a coronation procession. A commanding 3-0 victory over Cagliari at San Siro has tightened their grip on the Scudetto to the point that Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport frames it as a simple question of "when," not "if," the celebrations will begin.
The match itself followed a script that has become familiar for the Nerazzurri this season. A subdued, goalless first half gave way to a second-half masterclass, showcasing the explosive power this team can unleash after the interval. It’s a testament to the squad's resilience and the effective adjustments made by the coaching staff.
When the goals arrived, they highlighted the diverse threats in Inter's arsenal. Marcus Thuram broke the deadlock with a classic striker's finish, signaling his sharp return to form. Nicolò Barella then powered home a thunderous effort for his second goal in as many games, before Piotr Zielinski put an exclamation point on the performance with a stunning long-range strike to seal the 3-0 win.
The creative engine behind the opener, Federico Dimarco, earned special praise for notching his 15th league assist of the campaign—a remarkable tally that underscores his evolution into a playmaking force from the wing.
With this win, Inter have not only inched closer to the title but have also mathematically secured their place in next season's UEFA Champions League, a significant milestone in its own right. The focus now sharpens on the immediate prize: a Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Como awaits, with the Scudetto shimmering on the horizon. For Inter and their fans, it's indeed just a matter of time.
