AC Milan have ended their five-and-a-half year wait for a trophy by winning the 21/22 Serie A title. The Rossoneri only needed a point in their final league game against Sassuolo, but they were able to stroll to a 3-0 win to claim the league title on the final matchday of the season.
Olivier Giroud scored a double for the team, while Franck Kessie also got himself on the scoresheet in his last game for the club. Milan were up 3-0 at half time, and were able to hold on to the lead until the final whistle as they lifted their first Scudetto in eleven years.
