The part of the city of Milan decorated in black and red triumphs - after a break of seven years, the club secured the title of Italian champion.
This victory ended Milan's "Inter" dominance, which lasted five years in a row. In addition, the two Milan clubs are now tied in terms of the number of "Scudetto" titles won - 18. However, both of them are far behind the leader Turin's "Juventus", which has become the country's champion 27 times.

The first place for "Milan" eleven was guaranteed by the 0-0 draw with "Roma" on Saturday. With two rounds left until the end of the championship, not counting the matches on Sunday, the leader became unbeatable for the opponents, trailing by at least nine points. "Inter" could theoretically gather the same number of points, but the results of head-to-head matches give the advantage to "Milan".
Throughout most of the season, Massimiliano Allegri's team was closer to victory in these matches, but Robinho hit the post, and Kevin Prince Boateng's shot missed the goal. Nevertheless, one point was enough to start the celebration.
In the previous match, played earlier, "Palermo" beat "Bari" 2-1 at home, a team which is already going to be relegated regardless.
Saturday's results: "Roma" 0 - 0 "Milan" "Palermo" 2 - 1 "Bari" 7' [0 - 1] S.Bentivoglio 39' [1 - 1] F.Miccoli 53' [2 - 1] C.Bovo 65' F.Miccoli ("Palermo") missed a penalty from 11 meters.
