Inter Milan cruised through their 20th Serie A title after blowing away other Italian teams with 94 points, standing 19 points clear of the second-placed AC Milan.

Here’s a look at the top players who had the biggest impact on the success of Inter Milan in their 2023/2024 Serie A campaign.
Lautaro Martinez
Argentine attacker Lautaro Martinez has long been a star player for Inter Milan, but since he became the team captain at the beginning of the 2023/2024 season he has led by example.
With 24 Serie A goals in 31 appearances last season, Martinez improved his Serie A record after becoming Inter Milan’s center-forward. The 26-year-old was named as the league’s best overall player in the 2023/2024 season.
Hakan Calhanoglu
Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu enjoyed a sensation Serie A campaign, acting as a key cog in Simone Inzaghi’s team in their bid to seal the Scudetto title.
The 30-year-old was chosen as the best Serie A midfielder in the 2023/2024 season, after scoring 13 goals and recording three assists in 31 league matches.
Last season, Calhanoglu flourished in the deep-lying role that Inzaghi picked for him following Marcelo Brozovic’s departure for Saudi Arabia. While the move seemed bizarre at first, it paid off after Calhanoglu proved to be among the best Registas in the world.
Alessandro Bastoni

Inzaghi has also afforded Bastoni great freedom with his dizzying positional interchange, helping him provide as many assists as the talismanic striker Martinez.
Yann Sommer
A budget replacement for a departed star player, Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer has held the fort as though Andre Onana was never there. Inter Milan made a huge profit with the sale of Cameroonian star Andre Onana to Manchester United with a hefty 57-million-euro price tag.
While Onana has struggled this season with the EPL giants, Sommer has flourished in his first Serie A season. The 35-year-old has proven to be a safe pair of hands for Inter Milan, delivering plenty of crucial saves throughout the season.
Federico Dimarco
