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]
