The Nerazzurri knew just a point here would suffice to celebrate the title after Napoli’s 0-0 draw at Como, but while Hakan Calhanoglu and Luis Henrique were injured , Lautaro Martinez was back on the bench, and Alessandro Bastoni had his first start in three weeks . The Ducali already secured Serie A safety and could relax, missing Matija Frigan and Benja Cremaschi.

(Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty Images) An early Denzel Dumfries glancing header flashed inches wide from the Nicolò Barella cross, but Parma also wasted a chance to take the lead when Mateo Pellegrino got the volley wrong from 12 yards on the Adrian Bernabé cross from the right.
Inter could not have come closer on 26 minutes when a well-worked move set up Barella for the scorching finish off the crossbar, it bounced off Zion Suzuki’s back, but the goalkeeper managed to scramble the rebound off the feet of Marcus Thuram from point-blank range.
Dumfries had a shot charged down by Abdoulaye Ndiaye following another give-and-go, but Inter broke the deadlock in first half stoppages. Thuram sprung the offside trap on the Piotr Zielinski through ball, took a touch and swept in with the inside of the right boot from seven yards. It was the Frenchman’s fifth consecutive Serie A match on target.
A clinical Marcus Thuram finish!

Nesta Elphege had the ball in the net late on for Parma, but only after Pontus Almqvist had wandered offside for the assist.
Davide Frattesi nearly got a goal moments after coming on for Barella, but his volley on yet another Dimarco cross squirmed under Suzuki, the keeper preventing it from crossing the line completely.

What happened
Inter only needed a point after Napoli drew 0-0 at Como, but they wrapped up the title with a 2-0 victory over Parma. Marcus Thuram opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time, continuing a strong scoring run, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan added the second after a Lautaro Martinez assist. Parma were already safe from relegation and had a late goal ruled out for offside. The result confirms Inter as champions of Italy for the 21st time with three rounds remaining.
Chance analysis
This is primarily a title-clinching match result rather than a new structural team change, but it reinforces Inter's current attacking efficiency and squad depth. Thuram's scoring streak and Lautaro Martinez's return from the bench are positive indicators, although the article also notes injuries to Hakan Calhanoglu and Luis Henrique. For football models, the strongest signal is confirmation of Inter's elite form and match control in a high-stakes spot.
Inter gain a clear positive team-level boost from clinching the title, while Parma's outlook is largely unchanged after an already safe season.
Treat this as strong confirmation of Inter's title-winning form, with a minor positive signal from Thuram's streak and Lautaro's return.
