There was tension over the summer when ending the campaign empty-handed, going into the Club World Cup with new coach Cristian Chivu after Simone Inzaghi walked away.
The Argentine also hit out at some of his teammates, most notably Hakan Calhanoglu, demanding that only those who truly want to remain should do so.
Lautaro Martinez did not hold back

āWhat I said at that moment was what I felt and had been holding inside me. I didnāt plan it, I just saw some things I didnāt like, and I say what I think,ā Lautaro Martinez told DAZN Italia.
āWe feel so happy now. It was not easy to start again after a season where we lost all the competitions we were in right at the end, but I am very happy today with this achievement.
āIt was a very important objective for us, perhaps many didnāt see us being favourites considering what happened last term, but we worked so hard on and off the field.ā
This is the first time in 37 years that Inter have managed to secure the Scudetto at San Siro, as the fixture list so often had them away from home when learning of their success.

The team also scored over 100 goals this season, making them something of an anomaly in Italian football.
āWe have for many years been doing very well in Italy and Europe, reaching two Champions League Finals in three years. We must continue along this path, because the most important thing after winning is to keep trying to do better,ā added the Argentina international.
āIn such a balanced league as this, we managed to keep focused as a group, and this is the most wonderful thing that I am impressed by, the unity of this team.ā
Chivu was not the first choice for the job and had very little Serie A experience as a coach, but was rushed in ahead of the Club World Cup and made a huge impact.
āThe coach did so well bringing fresh energy, enthusiasm, so after four great years with Simone, perhaps we needed a change of scenery after that Champions League Final. Chivu made sure everyone felt involved and could even train with a smile, that really helped.ā
Itās not over yet, as Inter can do the Double when they face Lazio in the Coppa Italia Final at the Stadio Olimpico on May 13, while Lautaro Martinez can also be Capocannoniere.
āThereās always more space in the trophy cabinet! This is my mentality and that of Inter, so I am very proud to wear this shirt.ā
