5 weeks before the end, Inter touches the Serie A title with one hand. Cristian Chivu's team triumphed cleanly 3-0 against Cagliari, taking another sure step towards the 21st title in history, now it is simply a matter of numbers and mathematics to "dress" Milan in black and blue. On paper, Inter needs 7 more points to close the accounts in Italy, but they can also celebrate from the couch depending on the results that their rivals in this competition, Napoli and Milan, will achieve.

After a goalless first half, Dimarco put a clean ball into the box, a super assist for Thuram, with the Frenchman having an easy time pushing the ball into the empty net. Four minutes later it was Barella who doubled the score with a powerful shot, practically closing the score with Cagliari, out of respect for his former team, Barella did not celebrate. Inter calmly managed the rest of the match, while in the final moments there was time for another goal, to be precise a super goal scored by Zielinski with a fantastic shot from distance that stopped in the triangle.

Rightly, the black and blue fans celebrate this success, which for the media in Italy finally closes the title race: "Inter owner. +12 points, title closer", writes La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Inter, game over, play defense", writes Corriere dello Sport on the front page.

After the match, Cristian Chivu, with a bit of irony, rejoices in the fact that his team mathematically secured a presence in the Champions League: "5 weeks before the end we secured a place in the Champions League, we are happy about that, now let's look ahead. Contract renewal? I have never talked about these things, I was busy securing the Champions League, we will talk", Chivu expressed.
