Thousands of Inter Milan fans lined the streets of Milan on Sunday to celebrate their team’s 20th Italian league title. The Nerazzurri secured the title with a memorable derby victory over city rivals AC Milan last week and followed it up with a 2-0 home win over Torino on Sunday. The celebration began on the San Siro pitch, where Inter players tossed coach Simone Inzaghi into the air. Hakan Calhanoglu scored two second-half goals to extend Inter’s advantage over second-place Milan to 19 points. Milan was held to a 0-0 draw by third-place Juventus on Saturday. Fifth-place Roma earned a 2-2 draw at defending champion Napoli, which is ninth. Tammy Abraham scored his first goal after a long injury layoff for Roma. Roma’s advantage over sixth-place Atalanta was reduced to two points after Atalanta beat Empoli 2-0. Fourth-place Bologna required a late goal from Alexis Saelemaekers to secure a 1-1 draw with relegation-threatened Udinese. In other matches, Paulo Dybala put Roma ahead with a penalty near the hour mark, and Mathias Olivera equalized for Napoli with a deflected shot. Victor Osimhen converted a penalty for Napoli following a foul on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but Abraham found the target with a header to earn Roma a point. Abraham’s goal was initially ruled offside but was awarded following a VAR review. Roma defender Evan Ndicka assisted on Abraham’s goal by heading on a corner kick from Dybala. Earlier this month, Ndicka suffered a collapsed left lung in a game against Udinese. Abraham tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the final match of Serie A last season and returned earlier this month. Mario Pasalic and Ademola Lookman scored for Atalanta, while Fiorentina beat second-to-last Sassuolo 5-1 in the late game. The first leg of the Europa League semifinals on Thursday will see Roma hosting unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta visiting Marseille.
