Inter Milan have won the Champions League (formerly the European Cup) three times in their history. On all three occasions, the Nerazzurri defeated teams that were hoping to win the treble.
In the 1963/64 season, Inter Milan met Real Madrid in the European Cup final. Real Madrid had won the Copa del Rey and La Liga, and had a squad of great players such as Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas. A brace from Mazzola and a goal from Milani helped Inter beat "Los Blancos" 3-1, thereby winning the most prestigious European club tournament for the first time.
Inter Milan could ruin Man City's party.
A year later, Inter also ruined Benfica's treble dream when they beat the Portuguese club 1-0 in the final. The team led by the legendary Eusebio was also very strong at that time and had won the domestic double before. In the 2009/10 season, Inter also continued to defeat another treble-hopeful team, Bayern Munich, in the Champions League final.
Under the guidance of coach Louis van Gaal, the Bavarian club won the Bundesliga and the National Cup. However, in the Champions League final, Diego Milito scored twice to help Inter win 2-0. Coach Jose Mourinho's team also won the first great treble in the club's history.
Only six clubs in the history of European football, including Celtic, Ajax Amsterdam, PSV, MU, Barca, Inter, Bayern, have ever won the treble of winning the Champions League (formerly European Cup), the national championship and the National Cup in one season. Since the European Cup was renamed the Champions League and the Premier League was born, only Inter Milan, MU, Barca and Bayern have achieved the feat. Man City are on their way to becoming the next club to win the great treble, but Inter will be a big obstacle for them.
This season, Inter won two titles including the Italian Super Cup and the National Cup, so coach Simone Inzaghi's team can also win another treble, although it is not as great as the achievement of winning three titles of the Champions League (formerly the European Cup), the national championship and the National Cup in one season.
