Marcus Thuram scored one goal. Lautaro Martinez set up another. The two players who have been at the heart of Inter Milan’s success in recent seasons carried the club to the Italian league soccer title with a 2-0 victory over visiting Parma on Sunday. Inter, which needed only a draw to secure the trophy, moved an unassailable 12 points clear of 2025 champion Napoli with three rounds remaining. It’s Inter’s 21st Serie A title, trailing only the record 36 held by Juventus, and third in six years. But Inter hadn’t sealed the title before its home fans at the San Siro since the 1989 title — nearly four decades ago. When the game was over, there were fireworks, dancing and plenty of celebrations.

Kimi Antonelli made history at the 2026 Miami Grand Prix, becoming the first driver to convert his first three career pole positions into victories. The 19-year-old Mercedes sensation claimed his third consecutive win of the season after a fierce, race-long battle with reigning world champion Lando Norris. The event was defined by chaos, featuring a dramatic start where polesitter Antonelli and Max Verstappen locked up into turn one, leading to an early spin for Verstappen. A Safety Car was deployed early following separate crashes for Isack Hadjar and Pierre Gasly. While Norris led stints of the race and applied immense pressure, Antonelli maintained composure to cross the line first. Oscar Piastri secured the final podium spot, while post-race penalties for track limit violations shuffled the remaining points finishers, ultimately consolidating Antonelli’s early lead in the 2026 World Championship.
