Finally waiting for Furolo AC Milan. This is one of the most traditional clubs in Italy to win the league title after 11 years. The team secured the league title by defeating Sassuolo 3-0. French striker Olivier Giroud scored a pair of goals, while the rest was scored by Ivorian midfielder Frank Casey.
Before the last match, AC Milan was two points ahead of second-placed city rivals Inter Milan. The Rozoneri went on to win the title with a simple, straightforward equation if they could beat Sassuolo.

Instead of drawing or losing the match, Inter Milan had to wait to lose points. AC Milan did not go through so much trouble today.
To put it bluntly, French striker Olivier Giroud did not want to go. In this day and age, 2 million euros does not mean much in the exchange market. Milan signed Giroud from Chelsea at the start of the season at this low price. The league title will come in the hands of that Jiru, even the biggest Milan fans may not have imagined that at the beginning of the season.

But that is what happened. AC Milan took a 2-0 lead with two goals in the 32nd minute. Just before the end of the first half, Frank Casey increased the gap. Portuguese winger Rafael Liao assisted on two goals without conceding a goal. Today, he has again explained why teams like Manchester City are following him.
AC Milan did not have to score any more goals in the second half. Sassuoloo did not score. With a 3-0 victory, it has been confirmed that the league title is going from the blue part of the city to the red part this time. The last time Inter Milan won the league title!
Today Inter lost to Sampdoria by the same margin. It did not help. That is, if AC Milan had won, the title would have been decided, whether Inter won or not. Croatian wingback Ivan Perisic scored the first goal for Inter. Argentine forward Javakin Correa scored a pair of goals. There was no heldol in the top two parts of the points table.
The last time after 11 years, Inter spent their leagues. This time after 11 years, AC Milan followed the neighbors.

This feat of two neighbors reminded me of two decades ago. In the 1999-00 season, Lazio won the title after a 26-year long league career. Inspired by the fame of the neighbors, AS Roma, another club from the same city, won the title the very next year by beating their 18-year-olds.
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said he does not want AC Milan to retire without winning a title. Now maybe this legendary Swedish striker will be able to retire in comfort!
