Milan yesterday allowed itself to be completely overwhelmed by an immense Nerazzurri wave that invaded every street in the center. The celebration for Inter's double, Scudetto and Italian Cup, has transformed into something gigantic, almost unreal, capable of going beyond a simple sporting event.
According to estimates, around 400 thousand fans accompanied the team during the celebratory parade, giving rise to one of the most impressive and engaging popular demonstrations of recent years in the Lombardy capital.
From the early hours of the afternoon the streets around the Meazza were already completely invaded. Then, with the passage of the open-top bus, the city literally exploded. Smoke bombs, flags, continuous chants and an emotional participation that overwhelmed every corner of the Lombardy capital. The path towards Piazza Duomo became a very long embrace between team and fans.
Una città travolta dal nerazzurro
On the open-top bus there were all the symbols of the perfect season. Lautaro Martínez acclaimed like a king by the Inter people, Nicolò Barella an emotional driver on and off the pitch, Marcus Thuram amidst smiles, chants and incessant applause. But most of all, eyes were on Cristian Chivu. The Nerazzurri people celebrated him as one of the main architects of a year destined to remain in the fans' memory.
Today the coach rightfully enters Nerazzurri history and has become a true idol, leading Inter back to winning the Scudetto and the Italian Cup in the same season and transforming initial skepticism into a collective triumph.
Piazza Duomo trasformata in una curva
The most impressive moment came at the entrance to Piazza Duomo. A devastating sight: an infinite expanse of Nerazzurri flags under the Madonnina. From a distance it seemed almost impossible to distinguish people. Only colours, chants and smoke bombs.
Every player was welcomed as a hero. Lautaro led the choirs, Dimarco received the loudest ovation from a Milanese and Inter fan, while Chivu appeared visibly emotional in front of a square that now considers him one of the symbols of rebirth.
And perhaps this is precisely the strongest aspect of the party: the sense of belonging. Not just enthusiasm for a victory, but the collective need to feel part of something historic.
Un doblete che pesa tantissimo
Inter's double is not just a question of numbers. It is the sign of a team that has been able to react to the difficulties, controversies and pressures of a very tough season. Winning the Scudetto was the main objective. Winning the Italian Cup also gave the sensation of total domination over Italian football.
The company emerges strengthened, as does the technical project. And the fans responded in the most sensational way possible. Four hundred thousand people on the street are not just a sporting celebration: they are a declaration of popular power.
I nerazzurri non vogliono smettere più
The Nerazzurri night went on until late. Horns, scooters, flags outside the windows and fireworks accompanied a city completely overwhelmed by enthusiasm.
Because this wasn't just the celebration of a team that won two trophies. It was the celebration of an Inter people who rediscovered pride, identity and hunger for greatness.
And while the bus passed slowly among hundreds of thousands of people, Milan seemed to say only one thing: the Beloved wants to continue to dominate and the Nerazzurri people "promised it as children: they will always be close to you".
