Inter lifted their first Scudetto in 11 years in May, finishing 12 points ahead of rivals AC Milan in second. Inter were crowned winter champions, too, following their sixth successive league win, at Salernitana on Friday, and Milan’s loss to Napoli on Sunday. Friday’s 5-0 success took Inter to 100 goals in a calendar year for the first time in their Serie A history, with Torino their final opponent of a successful 2021 on Wednesday. Napoli’s 1-0 win in the San Siro on Sunday saw them climb above Milan to sit second on goal difference. They too went unbeaten in their opening 12 league games before falling away.
