Inter Milan have been impressively dominant in Serie A this season, securing the title five games ahead of schedule thanks to their impressive performances.
It was Inter's first Serie A title since Antonio Conte's 2020-21 season and the first Serie A league win for coach Simeone Inzaghi in his managerial career.
Inter won the derby against city rivals AC Milan 2-1 on 30 April, a victory that not only sealed them for the title of the season, but also the first time in Serie A history that a team has won the derby.
In the game, striker Francesco Acerbi opened the scoring in the 18th minute and Marcus Thuram extended his lead in the second half.
Although AC Milan levelled the score at 2-1 in the closing stages through Fikayo Tomori's goal, Inter held on tenaciously in the end.
With this victory, Inter won the 20th Serie A trophy in the club's history, becoming the only two teams to win the 'double star' in Serie A with Juventus. Inter have been one of the top teams in Serie A for the past three seasons, finishing runners-up in 2021-22 and third place in 2022-23. They have shown even more dominance this season and have now left AC Milan and Juventus far behind in the table.

With this victory, Bologna remain in the standings and secure a Champions League place next season. Roma can only compete with Atalanta for Europa League qualification.
The rise of the new king of Serie A, Rome is in the doldrums
The 2022-23 Serie A season is drawing to a close, with the contrasting performances of Inter Milan and Roma reflecting the new landscape of Italian football.
Inter are unbeatable
Inter Milan have shown impressive dominance in Serie A this season. They sealed the title five games ahead of schedule after beating AC Milan 2-1 on 30 April, a landmark victory:
It was Inter's first Serie A title since Antonio Conte's tenure in 2020-21.
It was also the first Serie A title won by coach Simeone Inzaghi in his managerial career.
Inter became the first team in Serie A history to win the derby early.
With this victory, Inter won the 20th Serie A trophy in the club's history, becoming the only two teams to win the 'double star' in Serie A with Juventus. Inter Milan are currently well ahead of the table, with AC Milan and Juventus tied respectively.
Inter have been one of the top teams in Serie A for the past three seasons and have shown even more dominance this season. This giant team composed of Lukaku, Barella and other international stars has left the rest of Serie A far behind with excellent attacking firepower and solid defence.
Roma failed miserably to finish in the top four
Roma, on the other hand, have had a sluggish season this season. In a match on April 29, they suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Bologna and basically missed out on qualifying for next season's Champions League. With this victory, Bologna remain in the standings and secure a Champions League place next season. Roma can only compete with Atalanta for Europa League qualification.
As a traditional Italian giant, Roma's poor form this season has been disappointing. They have repeatedly capsized in the league, with a porous defence and a lackluster attack. Even with international-level players such as Immobile and Tammy Abraham in the squad, it can't hide the team's systemic problems. Roma will need to rearm themselves in the summer window if they are to regain their momentum in the new season.
