Season

The 1981–82 season saw Inter win the Coppa Italia, the second in four years and the third overall.^[1] The final opponent was Torino, which were beaten 1–0 in first leg and drew 1–1 in the second.^[1] Inter showed some new faces, such as the young Giuseppe Bergomi and Riccardo Ferri (both born in 1963), Salvatore Bagni and Aldo Serena, who returned after several loans.^[1]

Inter also reached the round of 32 in UEFA Cup - giving up in front of Dinamo Bucharest during overtime - and achieved fifth place in the domestic league, but the triumph in the Coppa Italia resulted in a qualification for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.^[1]
