Inter vs Parma Calcio 1913

Inter sealed their 21st Scudetto in style, dismissing Parma 2-0 at San Siro with three rounds still to play. It was the coronation the Nerazzurri faithful had been waiting for, and Marcus Thuram made sure the party started early, striking right on the stroke of halftime to break the deadlock. Thuram opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time (45+1'), turning home a cross from the right to silence any nerves inside the stadium. A returning Lautaro Martinez, back from injury, then played the decisive role in the second goal, threading a perfectly timed through ball for Henrikh Mkhitaryan to finish calmly from close range in the 80th minute. No penalties or red cards, though Parma briefly thought they had a consolation when Nesta Elphege found the net in the 86th, only for offside to rule it out. Inter, brilliantly marshalled by first-season head coach Cristian Chivu, now sit 12 points clear of Napoli with three games remaining, a dominant title defence. Parma, safely established in mid-table, head into the final weeks with nothing left to play for but pride.
