Inter clinched the Scudetto on Sunday with a 2-0 win over Parma at the San Siro — their 21st Italian league title, their third in six years, and the first time they've sealed it in front of their own fans since 1989. Marcus Thuram and Henrikh Mkhitaryan got the goals. Cristian Chivu got the trophy in his first season as manager, ten months after replacing Simone Inzaghi off the back of that 5-0 hammering by PSG in Munich.We did the whole standalone pod on it. How Inter actually won this. Whether it's Chivu's title or Inzaghi's roster finishing the job. The asterisks — Bodø/Glimt, Lautaro's quotes about the Munich final, the Coppa Italia final against Lazio with a domestic double on the line. We walk back through what we said about Inter all season, from the Champions League final loss in June through the Matchweek 26 episode where we called +12 already. And we get into whether this is the start of an Inter dynasty or one more cycle before the cliff.For the rest of Matchweek 35, that's all in the regular weekly pod.

Was Chivu the difference, or was the league just bad? Tell us in the comments.
