F.C. Internazionale Milano looked to have another year without a league title at prospect, but due to Juventus and Milan being caught in the Italian football scandal, Inter was awarded the title a month after the conclusion of another third placed-season.
On the pitch, the team struggled to find its feet, being knocked out of the Champions League by unfancied Villareal, and being attacked by their own fans, following some poor league performances. The fact that the title was handed to Inter on a plate further increased pressure on the team winning the title on the pitch in 2007. Inter did prove, however, that the squad was capable of winning trophies, since it once again won the Italian Cup, which was coach Roberto Mancini's third successive cup trophy (having also won with Lazio before arriving at Inter.)
