The road to the Scudetto wasn't always smooth, but in the end, Inter Milan proved they were worthy champions of Serie A. Let's take a closer look at the key figures who powered this triumph—and hand out some well-deserved grades.

It might be oversimplifying to say the title race was over by New Year's, but there's no denying Inter hit their stride right after Christmas and never looked back. While rivals stumbled, the Nerazzurri showed they're the team to beat—not just this season, but for years to come, unless other giants get their act together or new challengers emerge. Here's how the standout stars rated in their 21st Scudetto victory.

Christian Chivu: 7.5/10
Following Simone Inzaghi was never going to be easy, and early losses to Juventus and Napoli suggested Chivu might still be learning against top-tier opponents. That pattern lingered a bit, but it never derailed Inter's charge. A commanding win over Como signaled their intent, and they set a relentless pace from there. Europe and the Italian Supercup were disappointments, but with a Coppa Italia final against Lazio on the horizon—and a potential double in sight—the Romanian coach deserves more than just passing marks.

Federico Dimarco: 9/10
Italy fans might have mixed feelings, but for Inter, this was a dream season for the flying fullback. Already a dangerous attacking weapon, Dimarco took his game to another level with 18 assists—the most ever in a single Serie A season since records began. No wonder Marcus Thuram felt compelled to polish his teammate's boots after yet another setup. Add a few goals of his own, and you can see why Dimarco shone even brighter with partner Denzel Dumfries sidelined by injury on the opposite flank.
