This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇧🇷 here.
Internacional drew with Grêmio 1-1 and became the Gaúcho champion after nine years without titles.
Enner Valencia scored for the Colorado, and Wagner Leonardo equalized this Sunday (16), at Beira-Rio - Inter had won 2-0 in the first leg.
With this, Inter ended a streak of seven titles by Grêmio (the Tricolor had been champions since 2018).
Additionally, the Colorado extended its lead in the history of the competition. Now, Inter has 46 titles. Grêmio remains with 43.This Sunday (16), Grêmio even had more possession, but Internacional created the better chances.
The first half ended with 65% possession for the Tricolor, but with 6-2 in shots for the home team.
And the Gre-Nal, of course, had controversy. Inter players demanded a penalty for a possible handball by Lucas Esteves.
VAR reviewed the play but deemed there was no handball. Through its social media, Inter vented. Check it out:

More efficient, Internacional turned chances into a goal - a great goal, in fact - at 11 minutes into the second half.
Enner Valencia took a long-range free kick into the TOP CORNER to open the scoring. It was his fifth goal of the season.

Grêmio responded at 16 with Wagner Leonardo heading in. VAR validated it after an unbelievable SEVEN MINUTES of review.

The image used by VAR to confirm the Tricolor's goal, by the way, is causing a stir. So, was it offside or not?

Grêmio went on the attack, and the Gre-Nal heated up, including THREE mass brawls and a lot of pushing and shoving.
Aguirre (Inter) and Dodi (Grêmio) were sent off.
Inter, however, held on to the 1-1 (3-1 on aggregate) to release the champion's shout that had been stuck in their throat since 2016.

€45M Rated Man United Star Opens Up To Inter Milan Switch This Summer
Man United striker Rasmus Hojlund has opened up to joining Inter Milan this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri are aiming for a loan deal with a purchase option for the Dane. Advertisement Inter Milan have made Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund their top target in attack. The Nerazzurri are aiming to breathe new life into their attack with a younger signing. And despite Hojlund's frustrations at Old Trafford, his form at Atalanta two seasons has convinced them. Man United Striker Rasmus Hojlund Opens Up To Inter Milan Move MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 22: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United reacts, during the warm up prior to the Premier League match between Manchester United FC and AFC Bournemouth at Old Trafford on December 22, 2024 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) Inter Milan have been working to convince Hojlund on the move in recent days. Initially, reports suggested that the 22-year-old was wary of making the move. However, according to the Gazzetta, there's been a turning point. Hojlund's view has begun to change, and he is now open to a move to the San Siro. Advertisement Therefore, it will now come down to whether or not Inter can convince United. The Red Devils paid €75 million plus add-ons to sign Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta two summers ago. However, the Dane's value has dropped due to his underwhelming performances. Therefore, Inter will offer a deal worth a total of €45 million, reports the Gazzetta. The newspaper anticipate that Inter will offer an initial loan deal containing a purchase option with that fee. However, that option could become a mandatory obligation under certain conditions. Meanwhile, reports the Gazzetta, while Inter want to get moving on a deal for Hojlund, there would be no chance of them signing him in time for the Club World Cup this summer.
