It is the joint-earliest the title has ever been lifted, along with Napoli last season, Juventus in 2019, Fiorentina in 1956, Torino in 1948 and Inter themselves in 2007.

In addition, it is also the first time that a Milan derby result has decided the destination of the championship.

This is their 20th title win and only their second since 2010, having last triumphed in 2021.
