Season

The reigning champions of Internazionale changed his centre-forward, Ramón Díaz, with Jürgen Klinsmann: in German league, he had scored at least 15 goals for season since 1985.^[1] In fact, he soon proved his skills scoring twice in Coppa Italia.^[2]^[3] However, the long-awaited European campaign expired out in the first round:^[4] Malmö, champions of Sweden, beaten Inter for 1–0 and then equalized 1–1 in Milan, defeating Trapattoni's side.^[5]^[6]

Despite the conquest of domestic supercup,^[7] Internazionale was not able to solve the problem of partnership between Klinsmann and Aldo Serena: they also were not strong enough for Milan and Napoli, finishing the league with only a third place.^[8]
