Season

Toward the beginning of the 2001–02 season, Héctor Cúper was appointed new coach.^[1] Inter started well in Serie A, winning four times in five games.^[2] However, they did not manage to lead in January: A goalless draw against Lazio, in matchday 17, resulted in second place.^[3] During the return half, Inter collected 27 points in 11 matches before losing to Atalanta in early April. The side did not lose top position, but Juventus and Roma filled part of gap.^[4] Inter also suffered a disappointment in UEFA Cup, being knocked out by Feyenoord.^[5]

The last matchday resulted deadly for title hopes: Inter faced off with Lazio, who still had some chances for a European spot.^[6] In the first half of the match, Karel Poborský equalized Christian Vieri and Luigi Di Biagio's goals. During the second half, Diego Simeone and Simone Inzaghi scored to give Lazio a 4–2 win.^[7] As both Juventus and Roma won their games, Inter fell to third place, just reaching a Champions League's play-off.
