Italian Serie A News :: Inter Milan claim 17th Serie A title as AC Milan falter

Posted on 2009-05-17 by Gooner

Internazionale Milan have been crowned Serie A champions for the 17th time on Saturday without playing a game after city rivals AC Milan were beaten 1-2 at Udinese.



The Rossoneri had to win in north-east Italy if they hoped to force José Mourinho's side to defeat AC Siena on Sunday to secure a fourth successive Scudetto.

But that task proved beyond AC Milan as they came unstuck courtesy of a strike either side of half-time at the Stadio Friuli.

Gaetano D'Agostino (31) fired the Zebrette ahead from the penalty spot for his sixth goal in his last five matches after Paolo Maldini had been penalised for handball, and Cristian Zapata (49) effectively put the title beyond Milan when he fired past Dida following D'Agostino's corner.

Massimo Ambrosini's late header was scant consolation for Milan, who trail Inter by seven points with two matches left.
