Scudetto Stars: Five Key Figures in Inter’s Triumph
Scudetto Stars: Five Key Figures in Inter’s Triumph It was not always plain sailing, but in the end, Inter emerged as worthy Serie A champions. Giancarlo Rinaldi gives out his grades to some of the vital cogs in their title win. It would be simplistic to say the Italian league was all but decided by New Year’s Day, but there’s a grain of truth in that assessment.
Inter hit the top of the table shortly after Christmas and never really looked back. While others stumbled around them, the Nerazzurri showed that – at least on the home front – they could be the side to beat for some time to come unless other big clubs get their house in order or new challengers emerge. Here are the ratings of some of the most important figures in their 21st Scudetto.
Inter win 2025-26 Serie A title: the most influential figures Christian Chivu 7. 5/10 – Simone Inzaghi was a hard act to follow, and initially it looked like the Romanian might not be up to the job. Early defeats to Juventus and Napoli suggested he was fine against the league’s lesser lights but perhaps still learning against fellow giants.
To a degree that persisted throughout the season, but not enough to dent their rise to the top. A big win over Como showed they meant business, and they set a pretty relentless pace. Europe and the Italian Supercup were disappointing, but with a potential double on the cards, thanks to a Coppa Italia final with Lazio, he surely deserves more than pass marks.

He was already an amazing attacking option for his team, but his 18 assists this term – the best ever in Serie A since records began – took him to another level.
