Inter, from next season, can officially show their second star on the official jersey and logo. The Nerazzurri become the second Italian team, after Juventus and their 36 Serie A titles, to be entitled to it.

This is also the first Scudetto for manager Simone Inzaghi, who finally made his dream true. Inzaghi joined Inter in the summer of 2021 to replace Antonio Conte, only a few days after the Nerazzurri won their 19th title.
