Season[]

Inter purchased Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a striker well known for his physical skills and the regularity in scoring.^[1] The other foreign was Liam Brady, former Juventus player.^[1] The German – who declared to have chosen the Italian league it was the most difficult step of his career – partnered with Alessandro Altobelli, resulting in a notable number of goals.^[2] Before the Christmas break, Inter had reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup and was second in Serie A behind an underdog opponent, Hellas Verona.^[3]

However, when the path became to get harder, the side did not manage to meet the expectations.^[2] In the semi-finals of European cup, they went out to Real Madrid despite a 2–0 win in the first leg: the Spanish team was able – in the second leg – to reach a 3–0 success, leaving Inter to complain for a glass bead that hit Bergomi on head.^[4] The season ended in a third place outcome, behind Hellas Verona and Torino.^[2] Inter had a gap of five points from first place.^[2]
