MILAN — Unstoppable Inter Milan survived a minor scare to lift their fifth successive Italian Serie A title and stay on course for an unprecedented Italian treble after a tense but deserved 1-0 win at relegated Siena yesterday. Diego Milito finished coolly on 57 minutes after great work from captain Javier Zanetti to leave team-mates in tears at fulltime and controversial coach Jose Mourinho pointing to the sky.
Second-placed AS Roma won 2-0 at Chievo thanks to Mirko Vucinic and Daniele De Rossi and would have been champions had the final games of the season finished at halftime. Inter topped the final table on 82 points, two above Claudio Ranieri's side, and next meet Bayern Munich in Saturday's Champions League final in Madrid having also won the Italian Cup by beating Roma this month. Sampdoria were also celebrating after securing a 1-0 home win over Napoli and the fourth and final Champions League qualifying spot.
