MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan stormed to a 20th Serie A title and earned a second star on the team shirts after dominating the league just like Napoli did last season.
The Italian title race was expected to be a closer fight this campaign but the defending champion stuttered from the start just as Inter impressed from the outset.
Everything appeared to click seamlessly for the Nerazzurri, who were helped by remaining relatively injury-free, and it was inevitable for a long time when they clinch the league on Monday.
It was even sweeter for Inter that it did so at city rival AC Milan, which also started the season hoping to secure its 20th Serie A trophy.
The 2-1 victory at San Siro lifted Inter 17 points clear of second-placed Milan with five matches to spare.
