The six previous Nerazzurri finals

The match that is about to be played on Saturday 31 May in Munich will be the seventh Champions League final in history. of Inter, 61 years after the first. It was May 27, 1964 and in Vienna Inter Mazzola, double, defeated Real Madrid By Stefano and Puskas for 1-3 (Milani and Felo also scored). It was a huge success designed by the genius of Helenio Herrera on the bench, which was repeated two years later in Milan, with the 1-0 victory over Benfica di Eusebio. A decisive goal by Jair in the 42nd minute. It was May 27, 1965 and Inter achieved that success with a sensational comeback in the semi-final against Liverpool. The Reds, in fact, won 3-1 in the first leg, but in the return leg in Milan Herrera's Nerazzurri prevailed 3-0. After two victories, however, came the first defeat. On May 25, 1967, in Lisbon, Inter he faced defeat against the Celtic Glasgow Stein and able to recover Mazzola's lead in the 6th minute with goals from Gemmell in the 62nd minute and Chalmers in the 83rd minute. That was the end of the Herrera era that included three Scudetti, two Champions Cups and two Intercontinental Cups. Five years passed before Inter returned to the final, but they were defeated again. The team of You winter, with Mazzola and Boninsegna in front, stopped in front of the immense talent of Johan Cruyff, who with a brace gave Ajax the Champions Cup in the final in Rotterdam on 31 May 1972. And here, after a long period of fasting, a good 38 years, we arrive at 2010, the year of the Treble. The resistance to Barcelona in the semi-finals, after the 3-1 of the first leg, the final is worth for Mourinho and his team, the extraordinary Julio Cesar, and the appointment with the Bernabeu in Madrid against Bayern Munich. The rest is history. The brace of Milito gives Inter the third Champions League in history and that 22nd May will remain forever indelible in the minds of Inter fans. The crowning achievement of an impeccable season with the Scudetto and Coppa Italia. The last Champions League final, as we know, was the one in Istanbul on 10th June 2023. A goal by Rodri in the 68th minute it was enough for Guardiola to deliver the Manchester City his first Champions Cup in history. At Inzaghi's Inter, the regret of a great match and some wasted opportunities, aspects on which the coach will have worked in view of Saturday's appointment. The balance, today, is three to three in the Champions League finals.

Inzaghi's words

Simone Inzaghi, however, risks ending the season with zero trophies and this could lead to the end of a technical cycle and with an important Arab offer on the table. In the Inter media day, the coach spoke like this about the Nerazzurri's moment in the appointment with history: "There is disappointment for the lost scudetto, it was a hard blow but we look forward by congratulating Napoli - his words - Now we have to think about the final on Saturday, which could represent a historic achievement. Winning or losing makes all the difference in the world. Final 2023? There is still great emotion for that journey, now we need one last step to enter history". Inzaghi, then, trusts his boys. They do not lack heart: "It will be decisive and the team has always put it - Inzaghi continues - I am proud to coach this group and we will face a great opponent like Bayern and Barcelona were. We will need to manage the difficult moments well". For the coach, there is the need to make the team understand that a victory in the Champions League would erase, with a stroke of luck, the defeat in the tricolor sprint: "They have been four fantastic years, the team knows everything, has a sense of belonging and we have experienced joy and tears, but we look forward with our chests out".
