Milan only needed a point at the Mapei Stadium on the last day of the season to oust the city rival Inter Milan, and this made the mission accomplished in style.
There were no signs of nerves from the revelry of the “Rossoneri” when the great Rafael Leoo determined Giroud for a double, and also scored the third goal for Franco Cassie in a completely one-sided first half.
On Monday in Reggio Emilia in the atmosphere of the party, the team of Stefano Piolo eased to victory, moving away from “Inter” by two points to finally win the Scudetto again.
Milan from the beginning covered the whole of Sassuolo, Giroud forced to save Andrea Consigli with a bullet header before Fikaio Tomori made an effort from the line.
The Rossoneri were completely dominant, and a huge contingent of visiting fans exploded in the 17th minute when Leo robbed Kaan Ayhan in the middle line and broke through to the left before choosing Giraud, who put the ball between Concilli’s legs.
Leoo was also the architect of the second goal immediately after the half-hour mark, stripping Gian Marco Ferrari of his property and stepping back from the line to get Giraud back home.
Sassuola could not live with Leoo, and he rushed down to the right before laying down on the path of the pushing Cassie, who brilliantly shot with her left foot nine minutes before the break.
Milan was in complete control, and there was a party atmosphere as his fans were relieved of tension on the last day after the dream of the first half.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was well received when he replaced Giro 18 minutes after the end of perhaps his last game for Milan, and the striker was ruled out due to offside against Leo.
Hamed Traare scored the bar late, and it was as close as Sassuola came to consolation when Pioli celebrated with his players and staff on the sideline until the last whistle.
