Inter awarded scudetto
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) have awarded the 2005/06 Serie A title to Internazionale.
The Nerazzurri win the title after Juventus were stripped of the scudetto as part of their punishment for their involvement in the match-fixing scandal that has rocked Italian football.
The Old Lady were relegated to Serie B and docked 17 points on appeal as a result of their guilty verdict in the match-fixing scandal.
Second place Milan were docked 30 points from the total they amassed last season - thus seeing the Rossoneri fall from their original position in the table.
With Inter initially finishing third in the table, the club claimed last season's domestic title for being the highest-ranked club left following the sanctions imposed on their rivals.
As a result, Inter have won their first scudetto since 1989 and will go into the coming season's UEFA Champions League group phase as champions of Italy.
The FIGC have also decided that the 2004/05 Serie A title that was also stripped from Juventus in this month's match-fixing verdict will remain unassigned.
14 Scudetti! Our drought is ova!
