Dimarco’s free‑kick flourish caps Inter Milan’s title‑winners’ finale
Inter Milan secured the Serie A crown and the Italian Cup before their last match of the season, but the celebration took an unexpected turn when midfielder Federico Dimarco turned his Serie A MVP award into a moment of individual brilliance. Coach Cristian Chivu gave several World Cup‑bound players an extra week of rest, handing minutes to Hakan Calhanoglu, Manuel Akanji, Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries while captain Lautaro Martínez started to regain match fitness after injury. The encounter unfolded with Dimarco opening the scoring from 25 yards, curling the ball into the top right corner. Federico Bernardeschi answered three minutes later, and Tommaso Pobega put Bologna ahead just before halftime. An own goal by Piotr Zieliński early in the second half briefly shifted momentum, but Pio Esposito reduced the deficit with a rebound strike. Andy Diouf sealed the scoring in the 86th minute, leaving the final whistle to echo a 3‑3 draw. Bologna entered the fixture with half of their home games already lost and without any chance of European qualification, while Inter’s squad rotation reflected a strategic pause before the summer break. The result unfolded against a backdrop of a tightly contested final round, with Lazio facing already‑relegated Pisa and two teams battling to avoid relegation, underscoring the competitive climax of the Italian season.
