José Mourinho’s Inter Milan: An Unstoppable Machine

After years of lacklustre performances in Europe, José Mourinho stepped through the doors of the San Siro with the sole purpose of winning the Champions' League. For almost 50 years, Interistas had been starved of the continents most prestigious club trophy and "The Special One" was seen by Massimo Moratti as the man to change the club's culture. What followed was a historical campaign, and Inter's best in over a century!

Milito's dream before Inter was to PLAY a Champions League game and, in his first try at it, he score two bangers to win the final

[davidrafael]

the fact that milito didn’t get top 5 in ballon dor rankings is crazy

[tombuzzguy]

Milito that season is probably one of the most impressive striker seasons ever. Up there with drogba just clutch goal after clutch goal

[christiankabano]

I am a AC Milan fan, but I have to admit that Inter Milan side of 2009/10 was among the best ever football teams I have ever seen, they had the perfect squad.

[agv-vtco]

This Mourinho-team was more Mourinho than any team he coached before or after Inter!
Brilliantly told story!

[creative_soul-recolo]

Milito, Snejider, Eto'o, Maicon, Lucio, Cambiasso, Pandev, Materazzi, Julio Cesar, Samuel, Thiago Motta, Stankovic, Balotelli 😭😭😭😭😭
Footballers from different walks of life who had different careers who were brought together to create history with a manager like Mourinho who was in rare form and achieved the impossible: AN ITALIAN TREBLE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Slipk]

3:26 fun fact about this clip. Maicon wanted to get a yellow card so he would be suspended for the next match to travel to Brazil to spend the hollydays with his family. Mourinho told him that if he scored twice he would be OK with it, otherwise they wouldn't allow him to leave Italy. Thinking he was safe and there was no way he would be able to... So after scoring his second goal Maicon took his shirt off so he would get a yellow card.

[prompt_Ninja]

Milito is the best player of 2009-10 he won treble and scores in all finals and semi-finals he deserved many individual awards

[miguelporras]

The first leg game vs Barcelona is probably the best counterattack masterclass ever seen. He planned that game thoroughly and beat them. Yes, one goal was offside, but Inter could have scored more than that also. Everytime a Barcelona player had the ball, they had 2 players closing every passing line and another man marking. And Inter attacked space on the counter relentlessly. Guardiola was outlcassed in both legs... defending 10 vs 11 for 70 minutes against that brilliant team and managing to limit them to 3 dangerous shots was absolutely phenomenal

[devanman]

What a team that was!

Also I remember when they offered 46mil and Etto for Zlatan and thinking that was an absolutely mental transfer. Etto was unreal.

[nimascolari]

That was the most complete and balanced squad I've ever seen. Mixture of experience and youth. Skill and work ethic. Amazing camaraderie and absolutely clinical. Best 11 ever compiled as a unit. Phenomenal

[kinyuanjeri]

Any day, Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan, Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester, Porto are always the stories of transforming ordinary teams and men into invincible world champions. Respect to the Special One!!!

[StafilococuAzuriu]

Best material on the internet about Mourinho's Inter!

[bipolarbear]

Etoo still the only player in the history of football to win back to back trebles with 2 different teams.

[anonital]

I hadn't realised what an incredible job Mourinho did at Inter and then walked. Top vid Retro. Keep em coming.

[lwandomadikizela]

This is when Mourinho took a group of old men from dominating their own league to European success. Mourinho was just about to hit his peak at Inter Milan before joining Madrid.

[johnadh]

Who is here after Inter Milan entered 2025 UCL finals? 💙

[prafulshrestha]

Jose Mourinho is simply the g.o.a.t
Not just inter
He has built many teams and help them to get success
The special one is simply special ♥️

[zzman]

Sneijder not getting the ballon d'or in 2010 is criminal

[codino]

the fact at the ballon dor, sneijder didn´t win it and milito didn´t even get nominated to be part of the top 30 is completely absurd and proves that shit is just a fraud, great video
