It’s celebration time at the iconic Giuseppe Meazza as freshly crowned Serie A champions Inter Milan prepare to host Parma on Sunday night—and they’re ready to party in style. With Napoli’s draw against Como yesterday, the Nerazzurri’s 21st Scudetto was confirmed, marking a triumphant return to the throne after last season’s heartbreak.
Simone Inzaghi may have ended his final season at the club without silverware, but his successor, Cristian Chivu, has delivered something extraordinary in his debut campaign. Despite being a relative newcomer to senior management, the 45-year-old has become just the fourth manager in Serie A history to win the title before turning 50—a feat that has electrified the Inter faithful.
And the excitement doesn’t stop there. With a Coppa Italia final against Lazio looming later this month, Chivu has a real shot at becoming the first Inter boss since Jose Mourinho to secure a coveted domestic double. But for now, the focus is on throwing a spectacular show for a sold-out San Siro crowd.
There’s a poetic twist to this matchup: Parma was the very club that gave Chivu his first taste of Serie A management, helping them avoid relegation last season. Now, the Romanian tactician gets to celebrate the pinnacle of his young career against the team that launched him into the spotlight.
But Chivu and his squad would be wise not to underestimate Parma. The visitors arrive on the back of two straight wins, bringing momentum and a bit of bite to this festive occasion.
It’s been a truly dominant season for Inter, even if their Champions League exit to Bodo/Glimt left a sting. With 25 wins in 34 league matches, they’ve set a blistering pace—one that feels especially sweet after last year’s heartbreaks, including a painful defeat in the 2025 Champions League final.
Offensively, Inter have been unstoppable. They’ve scored a league-leading 80 goals this season—at least 21 more than any other Serie A side. At home, the numbers are even more staggering: 47 goals in just 17 matches at the Meazza. Against a spirited but overmatched Parma side, expect the champions to put on a show that’s as much about celebration as it is about dominance.
