🔢 Serie A title marks: Dimarco joins Lautaro 👑 Bastoni safe! Two flops 👀

10 - Federico Dimarco

The same rating for the best wing-back in our league, and not only that. It has probably been an unrepeatable season for the 1997-born player, who with three games left already has 6 goals and 18 assists. In short, with Dimash you start from 1-0. Verdict.

9 - Piotr Zielisnki

The true beacon of midfield in the 2025/26 season. Of them all, perhaps the player who benefited most from Chivu’s arrival, as he put him at the heart of his Inter side and got the very best out of him. Like Dimarco, 6 goals, including the thunderbolt that broke Juve deep into stoppage time. Master.

8 - Marcus Thuram

A difficult first part of the season, when he looked like he was struggling. Then a star-level finish, in which he managed to make Lautaro’s absence forgotten and became once again the striker we all know. If Inter are celebrating today, without anxiety and with three games to spare, much of the credit is his. Rediscovered.

8 - Hakan Çalhanoglu

A summer with his bags packed, but then he stayed and started as an absolute protagonist. Brace at the Stadium, goal against Napoli, brace against Fiorentina. A few too many injuries, but also the clear sense that with Çalha it is a completely different tune. And then the rocket from 35 metres against Roma, perhaps the goal that sent the Scudetto toward Milan. Decisive.

7,5 - Manuel Akanji

Pavard leaves, one of the pillars of Inzaghi’s Inter, but in comes a champion who won everything with Guardiola. The Nerazzurri pulled off a major coup with the Swiss defender, in terms of performances, price and experience. He can play every role in defence and plays them well; in less than a year he is already a leader of the back line. Reliability.

7,5 - Nicolò Barella

There is one Inter when Bare is firing and another Inter when Bare is not. Like Thuram, he too had a season of ups and downs, but in the final stretch we saw again the player who made the whole Nerazzurri fanbase fall in love. Also in terms of goals, which is no small detail. Metronome.

7 - Yann Aurel Bisseck

The season of his breakthrough, the one in which he claimed a starting spot. Growing exponentially, the German is now one of Chivu’s untouchables, both for what he gives defensively and for what he offers in the opposition box. A few mistakes at the start, overcome with confidence. Rock.

6,5 - Denzel Dumfries

How much Inter missed the Dutchman this year! There is probably no wider gap in the squad between starter and backup, and no offence to Luis Henrique. But with Denzel it is a whole different story. He attacks, defends, runs, scores. In short, the perfect prototype of a wing-back in a 3-5-2. Unstoppable.

6,5 - Pio Esposito

A first big-time season for Pio, who at 20 moved from Spezia’s Picco to San Siro. No small leap, and the number 94 made it without fear, always showing his strength. 6 league goals, some of them as important as they were beautiful. Inter’s future is in good hands. Predestined.

6,5 - Petar Sucic

After a sensational debut against Torino, many perhaps expected a player already ready to dominate Serie A. Instead, the Croatian took a few breaks, showing he is not yet ready to take control of the midfield of the Italian champions. The class, however, is beyond dispute. Time is on his side. Talent.

6,5 - Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Probably the Armenian’s swan song. At 37, Mkhitaryan was for the first time relegated to second choice, behind Zielinski. But even at that age, having a backup like him is a luxury for anyone. Superb elegance, intelligence far above the norm. The feeling is that a player like this will be greatly missed, even in the rotation. Endless.

6,5 Carlos Augusto

The true 12th man of the Scudetto. You can play him in the back three, or as a wing-back in place of Dimarco, and even on the right if needed. He is there and always ready. He does not guarantee Bastoni’s class or Dimarco’s left foot, but what engine he has... The Scudetto is his too. Joker.

6,5 Alessandro Bastoni

Okay, from the Kalulu incident onward he was a different Bastoni. But until that moment, Alessandro had been one of the best, a pillar of Chivu’s Inter just as he had been for Inzaghi’s. The whistles in the various stadiums are unfair, considering that similar scenes, if not worse, were seen again yesterday in Turin and Reggio Emilia. A player to rediscover, provided he stays. To be reassessed.

6 - Ange-Yoan Bonny

A very strong start to the season, with the decisive goal away at Roma and a one-man show performance against Cremonese, in which he produced three assists and a goal. Then came Pio’s rise, which took away space — and confidence — from the Frenchman, who after his goal against Pisa on 23 January did not register another goal contribution, not even an assist. Needs another look.

6 - Francesco Acerbi

As with Mkhitaryan, age made itself felt. After being an automatic starter under Inzaghi, he gradually lost his place under Chivu. Still, whenever called upon, he always responded. He brings his Nerazzurri adventure to the best possible close. Lion.

5,5 - Yann Sommer

A very similar age-related discussion to the two teammates we have just mentioned. The sharpness is no longer what it once was, and it showed on various occasions, especially against Juventus and Milan. He could renew, but is unlikely to do so as the starter. Declining.

5,5 - Luis Henrique

It is true that, all things considered, Inter did not lose ground with him on the pitch. The feeling, however, when you watch Dumfries play, is that the Dutchman is playing a completely different sport. Constantly criticised, the Brazilian still made his contribution. He pays the price for the fact that his transfer fee was far too high. Struggling.

The others

From 'Pepo' Martinez to Darmian, including De Vrij, Diouf and Frattesi. They are the ones who saw little or no playing time and who, with the exception of the goalkeeper and perhaps Diouf, are almost certain to leave San Siro. They end their time with a Scudetto after what was still an extremely positive spell, in which they gave — and won — a lot.
