AC Milan won the Serie A title on Sunday after a 3-0 win at Sassuolo inspired by two goals from Olivier Giroud.

The 40-year-old has now added one more top-flight winner's medal in Italy to his glittering collection. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alexandre Pato and Robinho were joint-top scorers for the club in 2010/11 in Serie A, each managing 14 goals. Ibrahimovic also earned three consecutive Ballon d'Or nominations during his time in blue and black. As Milan controlled the second half comfortably, Inter knew their efforts against Sampdoria would be in vain. A brilliant save from Mike Maignan from Davide Frattesi's header helped to ease any potential Rossoneri nerves. You need to go back to the 2010/11 campaign for the last time AC Milan won the Scudetto, when they were under the stewardship of now-Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Olivier Giroud's brace helped Milan win its first Serie A championship in 11 years, edging defending champions Inter Milan by two points.

Giroud was given a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 72nd minute. There was a field invasion at the final whistle, delaying the trophy ceremony. This time Leão’s assist came from the right and Franck Kessié swept it in from close range. “This is the most satisfying of my titles," said Ibrahimović, who also helped Milan to the last of its Serie A titles in his first spell at the club. It had a two-point lead over Inter and a better head-to-head record, which is the tiebreaker. "That’s what I did today, what was important was to win the scudetto.”

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta feels satisfied with where the team are even despite having failed to win the Serie A title this season. Speaking to Italian.

Looking to the future, Marotta said that “We must act with respect for the sustainability of the club, but also for its competitiveness. He continued that “We want to be ambitious. “We thank this exceptional group of players, in terms of technical ability as well as their bond as a group, as we saw with the tears at the end of the match.

"I see a positive spirit at the club, one that comes from the coach’s hard work and his way of being. And the best coach. "I know Maldini well and I know that he is always balanced – also in difficult times. "Stefano is always calm," Gazidis says. The Swedish superstar added both experience and confidence to a young, insecure group of players at a crucial juncture in the team's development – just a matter of weeks after that devastating defeat in Bergamo. Remember, a host of top clubs wanted the former Lille man, but Maldini made the difference for Milan, putting in a call to Leao that convinced the Portuguese to move to San Siro. Stefano Pioli would certainly subscribe to that theory. Thanks to him, Milan have made giant steps. Pioli stepped forward, even though it was highly likely that he would be replaced at the end of what was expected to be a season of transition. "It was one of the most negative moments of my career," he admitted to DAZN last week, "but also one of the most valuable. The AC Milan coach says that the Scudetto winners of 2022 were born during a "horrible" and "humiliating" 5-0 loss to Atalanta in December, 2019.
