Goals from Francesco Acerbi and Marcus Thuram gave Inter the three points they required to be crowned champions, although they﷽ had to endure a nervous final 10 minutes after Fikayo Tomori pulled a goal back for the home team.

Inter wrapped up the title with fiv🌄e games to spare, standing 17 points clear of their city rivals, wh🐟o needed a win or draw to delay celebrations.

But they were on the back foot after Acerbi’s🐎 18th-minute header opened the scoring, before Thuram’s shot early in the sec꧃ond half put Inter well on the way to securing a 20th league crown.

Tomori’s effort set up a tense finish, though, in an ill-tempered clash, and there were red cards for Inter’s Denzel Dumfries and two AC Milan players – Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria – during stop🐭page time.

Bologna,🌊 meanwhile, stayed firmly on course for Champioꦗns League qualification by beating Roma 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico.

Bologna moved ju𝓰st two points behind third-placed Juventus – and seven clear of Roma in fifth – following a dominant display.

Oussama El Azzouzi opened the scoring 💧after 14 minutes, and Joshua Zirkzee doubled the lꦍead with a left-footed shot on the stroke of half-time.

Roma gave themselves a lifeline when Sardar Azmoun netted after the break, but Bologna kept the upper hand and se♊aled all three points through Alexis Saelemaekers’ goal midway through the second period.

And in Spain’s La Liga, second💛-half goals from Youssef En-Nesyri and Isaac Romero delivered a 2-1 home victory for Sevilla over Mallorca, with Abdon Prats claiming a late consolation for the visitors.
