AC Milan vs Inter
Inter Milan have dominated Italian football this season and when the final whistle blew on their 2-1 win over AC Milan at San Siro on Monday (April 22), marking the club's 20th Serie A title, it was a moment of sweet triumph for Simone Inzaghi's side.
Inter have suffered only one league defeat this season and conceded just 18 goals, by far the fewest in Serie A, securing the Scudetto with five games to spare.
They had an extremely effective close-season transfer window, acquiring players who seamlessly fitted into the club's plans for the season as they replaced stalwarts who departed.
