The significance of the win was evident as Inter Milan supporters flooded the streets of Milan, converging on the iconic Piazza del Duomo. The atmosphere was electric, with chants and cheers echoing off the historic buildings, fans climbing aloft the Statua di Vittorio Emanuele II – just as AC Milan fans had done after winning the 2021-22 Serie A title. But this time, the heart of Milan was a sea of blue and black as fans celebrated the triumph of their beloved club, captured beautifully on camera by lifelong Inter fan Davide Battoni.

“”I promised you as a child…” sings a choir from the Curva Nord.

It was my father who passed on the passion for the Nerazzurri colours to me from an early age. Inter for me is synonymous with passion, suffering, dreams and love.

I have lived through unforgettable moments with Ronaldo and Zamorano, Zanetti and Cambiasso, but I also went through the most difficult periods.

However, these colours always remain in my heart. It is precisely this rollercoaster of emotions that makes supporting Inter so special.

No matter how many dark nights there may be, we are always alongside the team, ready to sing and support them.

There is a saying amongst Inter fans: ‘you love Milan like you love money and glory, Juventus like you love a beautiful woman, but you love Inter like you love an idea, it’s how to love freedom‘.” Davide Battoni

Battoni, immortalised the jubilant scene by capturing fans climbing the Statua di Vittorio Emanuele II, located in the heart of the square, his photographs encapsulating the euphoria of the moment.

The celebrations reflected the deep-rooted passion and loyalty that Inter Milan fans have for their club. For many, this victory was not just about football, but a moment of sheer joy and pride. It was a celebration of history, tradition, and the unbreakable bond between the club and its supporters.

As the night fell over Milan, the city continued to buzz with excitement. Inter Milan had not only won a football match; they had etched their names in the annals of history. For the fans, it was a moment to savour, a moment that would be remembered for years to come.

The 20th Serie A title is more than just a trophy for Inter Milan; it’s a testament to their dedication, perseverance, and unwavering spirit. The celebrations continued long into the night, as for now, Inter Milan reigns supreme in Italy, and the Nerazzurri faithful will surely remember this night for generations to come.
