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 amount 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 eneded in a third place outcome, behind Hellas Verona and Torino.[2] Inter had a gap of five points from first place.[2]
