Cristian Chivu's assistant coach, Aleksandar Kolarov, didn't hold back in his post-match press conference on Sunday, taking a playful jab at Inter's rivals by bringing up last season's Champions League Final defeat. "In football, it happens," Kolarov said with a smirk. "The other teams were on the sofa watching what Inter would do."

Inter Milan clinched their 21st Scudetto in emphatic style, securing a 2-0 victory over Parma at the San Siro. The Nerazzurri only needed a single point to seal the title with three games to spare, but they went all out, with goals from Marcus Thuram and Henrikh Mkhitaryan sealing the deal in front of their home fans.

Head coach Cristian Chivu opted to let his staff handle the media after the match, and Kolarov—a former Inter defender himself—took center stage. "We've believed in our job from the beginning," Kolarov explained. "The lads were excellent in accepting our requests. It was easy to work with them. They made themselves available immediately and bounced back after a few losses."

But it was Kolarov's pointed reference to last season's Champions League Final loss that got everyone talking. "Let me add a few words about that defeat," he said. "Journalists called it a total disaster, but other teams didn't even get there. Other teams were on the sofa watching what Inter would do." His message was clear: reaching the final is an achievement in itself, and this season's title is proof of the squad's resilience.

Inter appointed Chivu last summer after Simone Inzaghi's departure by mutual agreement, following a heavy 5-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League Final. Since then, the team has regrouped and refocused, with Kolarov praising the squad's character. "We used their quality, not just in footballing terms," he added. "Men make the difference."

Federico Dimarco also hit back at critics after the match, dedicating the title to the fans and the team's unwavering spirit. For Inter, this Scudetto isn't just about silverware—it's a statement that they're back on top, and they're not afraid to remind everyone who was watching from the sidelines.
