Inter Milan could clinch the Serie A title for the first time in 35 years in Monday’s derby clash with AC Milan.
This is highlighted in today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.
This Monday, Inter have the opportunity to make mathematically certain of their status as champions for the current Serie A season.
City rivals AC Milan are the Nerazzurri’s closest rivals in the table.
And the Rossoneri are the only team who could catch Inter, mathematically speaking.
If Inter were to beat Milan in the derby, then that would no longer be the case. The Nerazzurri would clinch the title.
That would be the first time that Inter or Milan clinch the title in a derby.
Moreover, as the Corriere highlight, it would be the first time in over three decades that Inter would be clinching the title at the San Siro.
Inter Could Clinch Serie A Title At San Siro For First Time In 35 Years Vs AC Milan
The last time that Inter clinched the title in a match at the San Siro was in the 1988-89 season.
That campaign, the Nerazzurri beat Napoli 2-1 at the San Siro to seal the title.
In the 2006-07 season, Inter beat Siena away to confirm their status as champions.
Then in the 2007-08 campaign, it was another away win. The Nerazzurri beat Parma.
In the 2009-10 season, it was yet again Siena away. On that occasion, the circumstances were more dramatic.
Inter pipped Roma on the final day of the season with their win away in Tuscany.
A single Diego Milito goal in the second half was enough to win the match and clinch the title.
Then in Inter’s most recent title win, in the 2020-21 season, Inter were not playing when they learned that they were champions.
Rather, it was a draw between Sassuolo and Atalanta – the latter the only team that could have caught the Nerazzurri – that clinched the title for Inter.
