Internazionale Milano, or simply Internazionale, was founded in 1908 as a result of a schism within the Milan Cricket and Football Club, which is now A.C. Milan. The club’s name comes from the founding members’ desire to recognise international players as well as Italians without restriction.
Inter won their first and second championships in 1910 and 1920, respectively. The club was forced to merge with the Unione Sportiva Milanese six years later, during the Fascist period, and was renamed Società Sportiva Ambrosiana.
In 1938–39, they won their first Coppa Italia, led by the legendary Giuseppe Meazza, after whom the San Siro stadium is named. This stadium is used by Inter and AC Milan. Helenio Herrera joined Inter from Barcelona in 1960, taking his midfield general Luis Suárez with him, and the two turned Inter into a formidable force to be reckoned with. The club won its first European Cup in 1964 against Dortmund.
They won the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in December 2010. In total, the club has won 30 domestic trophies since its inception, including 18 league titles, 7 Coppa Italia, and 5 Supercoppa Italiana.
Inter Milan is one of the most illustrious clubs in the world of soccer. The Serie A champions have seen many iconic players wear their jerseys. Giuseppe Baresi made his Nerazzurri debut at the age of 19 and played 559 games for the club.
Luiz Suarez joined Inter to become a modern-day Registe-style deep-lying playmaker. Giuseppe Meazza was initially rejected by AC Milan because he was too skinny, but Inter quickly snatched him up. He was initially assigned to the Nerazzurri as a defensive player, but a coach quickly corrected the mistake, and Meazza went on to become one of Italy’s greatest strikers.
Javier Zanetti has the highest number of appearances for the club(882).
Giuseppe Meazza is the top goalscorer with 284 goals.
The Derby Della Madonnina, also known as the Derby di Milano, is a football match between Internazionale and A.C. Milan, two prominent Milanese clubs. Both clubs are associated with the city of Milan. In the final of the Chiasso Cup in 1908, the two Milanese rivals played the first derby match. Although AC Milan has won more trophies, Inter has a better record in derbies, with 84 victories to AC Milan’s 77.
