Season summary

Longing for redemption after a 5–years title absence, Inter bet on Giovanni Trapattoni, winner of 6 Scudetti sitting on Juventus' bench.^[1] 1986 summer also brought in Milan players such as Daniel Passarella and Gianfranco Matteoli.^[1] Autumnal results presented Inter like a competitive team,^[2]^[3] at least Rummenigge had to give up due to injuries.^[4] Trapattoni had already reach UEFA Cup's quarter-finals^[5] where he met Goteborg drawing (without goals) the first leg.^[6] It forced Inter to win the second but, after gaining the 1–0 with an own goal, team took the equalizer: away goals rule caused Swedish's victory.^[7] Season ended with a third place, behind Napoli and coach's former club.^[8]
