#10 Antonio Conte started and ended Juventus' dominance in the Serie A

Antonio Conte took over at Juventus in 2011 and ended their drought of nine years without a Serie A title. He went on to win three back-to-back titles before leaving Juventus to manage the Italian national team in 2016.

He returned to Serie A with Inter in 2019, and guided them to a title this season, thus ending Old Lady's stronghold of the Scudetto which spanned nine years.

#9 Antonio Conte has won five league titles in his seven full seasons in the top division

Antonio Conte is proving to be a serial winner. He won three consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus before moving to Chelsea and winning the Premier League title in his first year. He left the Stamford Bridge outfit after two seasons and took over at Inter Milan. Here, he has won his fourth Serie A title, making it an overall fifth in seven seasons of management.

#8 Inter Milan have already matched the points tally from their last Serie A win

When Inter Milan last won the Serie A title in 2010, they racked up 82 points. They have already matched that this season with four games still to be played.

#7 Inter Milan have the fewest losses in European leagues

Inter Milan have lost just two matches so far this season. The first loss came in the first Milan derby of the season and the second came against Sampdoria in January.

#6 Antonio Conte has become the second manager to win the Scudetto with Inter Milan and Juventus after Trapattoni

Antonio Conte has now become the fifth-most successful manager in the Serie A at par with Carlo Carcano. The duo have won the Serie A title four times. Fabio Capello and Marcelo Lippi have won five each. Max Allegri has six while Giovanni Trapattoni leads the list with six Serie A titles.

He is also just the second manager to win the Serie A title with both Juventus and Inter Milan after Giovanni Trapattoni.

#5 Inter Milan's first Serie A title in 11 years

The Nerazzurri last won the Serie A title in the 2009/10 season under Jose Mourinho

#4 Inter Milan's striker duo have been firing on all cylinders

Romelu Lukaku has been arguably Inter's best player this season, and his partnership up front with the talented Lautaro Martinez contributed immensely to Nerazzurri's cause.

The duo combined to score 36 goals and provide 15 assists this season in the Serie A. While Lukaku has scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists, Lautaro Martinez has scored 15 and racked up five assists.

#3 Inter Milan have the best defensive record in the league

Sir Alex Ferguson once remarked on the importance of a good defense, "Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles"

Inter Milan have the best defensive record in the league, having conceded just 29 goals in 34 games this season. They have conceded two fewer goals than Juventus, who have the second best defensive record in the league.

Inter Milan had the best defensive record in the Serie A last season as well and had only conceded 36 goals in 38 matches, seven fewer than the number of goals that Juventus had conceded on the way to their ninth consecutive Serie A title.

#2 Romelu Lukaku becomes first player to score 20+ goals and deliver 10+ assists since 2004

When Antonio Conte signed Romelu Lukaku from Manchester United for a club record €80 million, the popular opinion was that Inter Milan had overpaid for a player who had already struggled at a big club.

However, Lukaku has silenced his critics after sustaining his incredible goalscoring and creative form throughout the season and has hit double figures for both goals and assists, becoming the first player to do so since Opta started collecting this data.

#1 Inter Milan are now the second most successful club in Italy

Inter Milan have won the Serie A title for a 19th time. They have now become the second most successful club in Italy after Juventus, moving ahead of AC Milan who have 18. Juventus have won 36 Serie A titles including nine consecutive Scudettos from 2012-2020.

One thing is for certain now and it is that Inter Milan have now become the team to beat in Italy after winning the Serie A title by a huge margin. It means that the likes of Atalanta, AC Milan and Juventus will need to step it up in the coming seasons if they want to prevent Antonio Conte from building a dynasty at Inter Milan.
