Season

2005–06 season opened with the success in Supercoppa Italiana, beating Juventus 1–0 in extra time with a goal scored by Verón.[2] During the Champions League group stage, the side managed to have a line-up of 11 foreign players on the pitch: the only european was Luís Figo, playing the second time.[3] Despite a good first half (also including a 3–2 win in derby, that lacked since 2002)[4] Inter had a second part not so bright.[5] Being knocked out in Champions League by Villareal, the side was hardly attacked by his fans.[6]

On the pitch, season finished like the previous with a third league place and the win of Coppa Italia against Roma.[7] However, during the summer of World Cup, Juventus and Milan resulted caught in Calciopoli scandal: in late July, a few weeks after Italian triumph in Germany, Inter was awarded of 2005–06 title.[8] Further, the relegation of Juventus to Serie B made Inter the first and only club ever present in modern Serie A (from 1929–30).
