Antonio Conte has guided Inter Milan to their first Serie A title in 11 years after beating FC Crotone 2-0 earlier this weekend.

The Nerazzurri were confirmed champions on Sunday, May 2 following Atalanta's 1-1 draw against Sassuolo at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore.

This now means that the Old Lady have missed out on winning their 10th straight Italian League title having won the last nine editions.

Juventus have now only missed out on the league title, they also risk not qualifying for the Champions League at the end of the season unless they step up their performances.
