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]
