Lu Wenbin's second goal was also the last goal of the game.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
With Inter Milan's overall performance sluggish, Lu Wenbin used his personal ability to score twice and lead the Nerazzurri to a 2-2 draw with Udinese away from home.
In another match that took place at the same time, AC Milan beat Cagliari 4-1 at home.
But it didn't help.
After this round, Inter Milan has 84 points and AC Milan has 81 points, with only one round of games left before the end of this season's league.
Although Inter Milan failed to win the championship in advance by taking all three points away from Udinese, they are still three points ahead of AC Milan and have a goal difference of more than ten.
Unless AC Milan wins by a huge margin in the last round and Inter Milan loses by a huge margin, and AC Milan's goal difference exceeds Inter Milan's when the points are the same, the championship will definitely go to Inter Milan.
Inter Milan's Serie A title this season is basically secured.
Coincidentally, the last round of the league was played at Inter Milan’s home ground, and fans could celebrate the awards ceremony at their home ground. Perhaps the 2-2 draw with Udinese in the last game was destined.
This time, the break between the penultimate round of the league and the final round of the league was relatively long, lasting a full week.
The team members haven't had such a long vacation for a long time.
Although the last round was crucial to winning the championship, after the 37th round, Mourinho still gave the players two full days off so that everyone could have a good rest.
On the one hand, it allows everyone to relax physically and mentally, and on the other hand, it is naturally because Inter Milan is 3 points ahead of AC Milan and has a huge goal difference advantage, so they have nothing to fear!
Of course, Mourinho certainly doesn't want to end the season with a defeat at home.
Basically, you can win the championship even if you lose the game, but it is undoubtedly a very disappointing thing to receive the award with a loss in your own home court.
Therefore, after the players returned from holiday, Mourinho asked everyone to concentrate and train seriously to prepare for the last round of the league.
No matter how AC Milan performs, Inter Milan must win and end their Serie A season with a home victory to add glory to their championship.
At 18:00 on the afternoon of May 22, the Meazza Stadium was packed with Inter Milan fans filling almost all the seats, while there were only a few hundred fans of the visiting team Catania who came from afar.
Catania is currently ranked 11th, with no hope of qualifying for the European competition and no worries of relegation, so naturally they have no desire.
Moreover, this game was clearly Inter Milan's championship celebration. Except for a few hundred fans who wanted to see superstar Lu Wenbin, no one else wanted to watch their team lose and watch someone else's championship celebration.
Therefore, this game was a carnival for Inter Milan from the very beginning. Inter Milan fans held various banners, shouted the names of the players, and danced from beginning to end without stopping.
After the game started, Inter Milan broke their usual pattern and took the initiative to press forward and play offensive football amid the cheers of the fans.
In the last league game of the season and the last home game, Inter Milan wants to say goodbye with a fair victory.
Moreover, Mourinho has basically reached an agreement with Real Madrid. Regardless of the results of this season, after his contract with Inter Milan expires, he will go to Spain next season to take charge of Real Madrid.
In this game, Sneijder played as attacking midfielder, Lu Wenbin and Stankovic played as double midfielders, and Eto'o and Milito played as double strikers.
The defensive midfielder position is Cambiasso, who has better physical fitness and stronger assist ability.
From the first minute, Inter Milan launched a fierce attack on Catania, who had no desire to win.
Facing Inter Milan, who were determined to win the championship, and with the stands full of fans cheering for their opponents, Catania, who had no desire, played very negatively in this game.
When it comes to fighting for the ball, Catania's players will give up as soon as they see the slightest risk of injury.
As for tackles, they didn't even make one. It wasn't because they were afraid of Lu Wenbin's free kicks, but because they were afraid that if they tackled their opponents, they would fall down and fall on them, causing them to get hurt.
One side is full of energy and determined to win, with 80,000 fans cheering for them. On the other side, there is no desire and a passive attitude, and some people are already thinking about where to go on vacation after the season ends.
With such mentality and morale, it is no surprise that Inter Milan won.
In the 9th minute, it was Eto'o's chance.
Sneijder passed the ball to the penalty area in seconds. Eto'o received the ball in the penalty area and turned to shoot, but the ball was punched out by the goalkeeper with both fists.
The ball flew high out of the restricted area and landed near Lu Wenbin.
Under the close defense of the opponent's midfielder, Lu Wenbin got stuck in position and did not even stop the ball, but directly made a ground-breaking volley shot.
The ball was kicked back to the goal by Lu Wenbin from the corner of the penalty area, passed the goalkeeper, and went into the goal along the bottom edge of the crossbar.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of fans in the stadium cheered loudly, and the shouts of “Lu-Lu-Lu” resounded throughout the stadium.
The commentators in the commentary booth also used all the words they could think of to praise Lu Wenbin's volley shot.
Not only was it a beautiful goal, it was the one that sealed the title.
Everyone could see Catania's passive response.
Lu Wenbin's goal almost secured the championship for Inter Milan.
No wonder the fans and commentators are so crazy.
Even though they have won the Serie A title for several consecutive years, there is never too many titles.
It's always exciting to defend the title again.
On the court, teammates also celebrated passionately with Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin was also in a very good mood.
Now, the Serie A championship is secure.
One step closer to the Triple Crown.
After the game resumed, Catania was indeed perfunctory and did not use the kick-off right to attack at all. A casual pass gave the ball to Inter Milan, and then Inter Milan started to attack vigorously again.
During today's championship celebrations, other Inter Milan players also wanted to score goals.
Everybody wanted to score a goal, so naturally the coordination was a little poor, there was no order, and the number of shots was not many.
Of course, no one blames them.
Anyway, Inter Milan will definitely win in the end.
Sure enough, in the 33rd minute, Milito finally took advantage of a corner kick to score a header, extending Inter Milan's score to 2-0.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, Eto'o received a low cross from Stankovic on the wing, and swept the ball into the dead corner in the penalty area. Inter Milan led 3-0.
In the 79th minute, Lu Wenbin dribbled past four players, got past the goalkeeper, and then scored into the empty goal.
Lu Wenbin scored twice and Inter Milan led 4-0.
In fact, starting from the second half, Mourinho made substitutions one after another and used up all three substitutions, allowing other substitute players to also come on the court to feel the joy.
After Lu Wenbin scored the fourth goal for Inter Milan, Inter Milan's own players stopped playing seriously and everyone on and off the field was waiting for the game to end.
Catania's players naturally wanted the game to end soon so they could leave quickly, so as to avoid having to watch other people's championship celebrations as opponents.
Seeing that no one wanted to play, the referee didn't even give any extra time.
As soon as the 90th minute was up, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Inter Milan defeated Catania 4-0 at home in the last round of Serie A and won the 2010/2011 Serie A championship. (Seeking monthly tickets)
