Inter Milan concluded their Serie A season with a 2-0 victory against Como, but it wasn’t enough to clinch the title as Napoli secured their championship with a simultaneous win over Cagliari.
A Decisive Final Day in Serie A
The final matchday of the Serie A season was set up for high drama, with Inter Milan trailing Napoli by just one point. Inter needed a win against Como and hoped for a Napoli slip-up against Cagliari. Despite Inter’s 2-0 win, Napoli’s 2-0 victory ensured they retained their lead and clinched the title.
Inter’s goals came from Stefan de Vrij and Joaquin Correa, capitalizing on Como’s reduced squad after goalkeeper Pepe Reina received a red card in his final professional match.

With the Serie A title out of reach, Inter’s attention now turns to the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled for May 31 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Inter’s journey to the final included a dramatic semi-final victory over Barcelona, with Davide Frattesi scoring the decisive goal in extra time.
Como’s Remarkable Season Under Cesc FÃ bregas
Como, managed by former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Cesc FÃ bregas, had a commendable season, finishing 10th in Serie A. Their recent form included six wins and a draw, ensuring their top-flight status.
The match against Inter marked the end of an era for veteran goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who announced his retirement and received a standing ovation despite his red card.
Looking Ahead: Inter’s Transfer Plans
As Inter prepares for the Champions League final, the club is also active in the transfer market. Reports suggest they are close to signing Olympique Marseille winger Luis Henrique, aiming to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
Additionally, discussions are ongoing regarding potential departures, with defender Yann Bisseck attracting interest from other clubs.
Conclusion
