Federico Dimarco, Inter's left-sided midfielder, ended the 2025-26 Serie A season as a champion — part of a Nerazzurri side that completed the domestic Double under coach Cristian Chivu, securing the Scudetto with 86 points from 37 matches and the Coppa Italia to match. The title was confirmed in a party-atmosphere 1-1 draw against Verona, and the celebrations that followed — an open-top bus parade, a private dinner — marked the close of a campaign in which Dimarco was one of the most productive wide players in the division.
The numbers make the case plainly. Across 33 Serie A appearances, Dimarco contributed 6 goals and 16 assists, a combined output of 22 direct goal involvements that places him among the most influential attacking contributors in the squad. His average match rating of 7.40 reflects consistency rather than occasional brilliance — a player who showed up in the data week after week, not just in the highlights. For a team that scored 86 goals and conceded only 32, the left flank he occupied was not a luxury; it was load-bearing.
What makes that output significant is the context in which it was produced. Chivu's Inter finished first with a goal difference that speaks to a side built on both volume and efficiency. Dimarco's 16 assists — a figure that demands creation, timing, and the spatial intelligence to find teammates in positions they can finish from — were not the work of a player drifting into the final third occasionally. They were the product of a role that required him to function as both a defensive anchor and an offensive engine across a full 37-match season.
Inter president Beppe Marotta, in remarks following the title confirmation, praised Chivu and the playing group for what they had built. The squad's collective character was visible in the celebrations, though the season's individual contributions will take longer to fully assess. For Dimarco, 28 years old and at the peak of his physical and tactical maturity, this campaign represents the clearest evidence yet that his value to the club extends well beyond the left channel he patrols.
The Double is confirmed. The question Chivu's staff will carry into the summer is how to protect and build around a player whose production, at this level of consistency, is not easily replicated.
