The 2023–24 season was the 116th season in the existence of Inter Milan, which have all been played in the top division of Italian football. In addition to the domestic league, Inter participated in this season's editions of the Coppa Italia, the Supercoppa Italiana and the UEFA Champions League.

This season was the first since 2011–12 without Slovenian goalkeeper Samir Handanović, who announced his departure following the end of his contract, the first since 2013–14 without centre-back Danilo D'Ambrosio who departed the Nerazzurri club to join Monza, and the first since 2014–15 without Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozović, who also left after being transferred to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.

On 20 December, Coppa Italia defending champions suffered a 1–2 loss after extra time against Bologna in the round of 16, getting knocked out of the competition. On 22 January, the Nerazzurri clinched their third consecutive Supercoppa Italiana by defeating Lazio 3–0 in the semi-finals and Napoli 1–0 in the final. After reaching the final in the 2022–23 edition, Inter's Champions League campaign was cut short on 13 March by getting knocked out at the round of 16 stage by Atlético Madrid. After drawing on aggregate 2–2, the Colchoneros went on to win the deciding penalty shoot-out 3–2. On 22 April, with five games to spare, Inter were mathematically confirmed as Serie A champions for the twentieth time in their history after defeating second-placed and city rivals AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, earning the second star above their badge.

Season summary

[edit]

Pre-season

[edit]

In the aftermath of the 2022–23 season, Inter was forced to undergo an extensive squad makeover, as Samir Handanović, Alex Cordaz, Milan Škriniar, Dalbert, Stefan de Vrij, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Roberto Gagliardini and Edin Džeko had their contracts set to expire,[1] alongside Romelu Lukaku, Francesco Acerbi and Raoul Bellanova having their loan spells coming to an end.[2] On 1 July, Inter announced their first signing of the season, French striker Marcus Thuram from Borussia Mönchengladbach, who agreed to a five-year contract with the Nerazzurri.[3] On 3 July, Croatian playmaker Marcelo Brozović joined Saudi club Al Nassr for a reported fee of €18 million, leaving Inter after eight and a half seasons.[4] On 5 July, both Alessandro Bastoni and Hakan Çalhanoğlu renewed their contracts, respectively until 2028 and 2027.[5][6] On 6 July, Inter signed midfielder Davide Frattesi from Sassuolo on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy, for a reported total fee of €33 million.[7] On 7 July, Inter activated the option to make Acerbi transfer from Lazio permanent.[8] A day later, Inter also confirmed that De Vrij extended his contract with the club until 2025.[9] On 12 July, Inter triggered the €7 million release clause to sign promising German centre-back Yann Aurel Bisseck from Danish club AGF, who agreed to a five-year deal.[10] On 13 July, Inter officialised the return of former youth academy goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro.[11] On 19 July, Colombian right-midfielder Juan Cuadrado joined Inter as a free agent in a rather controversial move, after his contract with bitter rivals Juventus expired.[12] On 20 July, after weeks of speculations, goalkeeper André Onana joined Manchester United for a reported fee of €52.5 million, agreeing to a five-year contract with the English side and leaving Inter after only one season.[13] On 26 July, Lautaro Martínez was officially appointed as the new club captain after the departures of former skipper Handanović and club veterans D'Ambrosio, Brozović and Škriniar.[14] On 7 August, Inter signed Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer from Bayern Munich for a reported €6.75 million fee, penning a three-year contract with the club.[15] Three days later, Inter completed their goalkeeper roster by signing Emil Audero from Sampdoria on a season-long loan.[16] On 15 August, Robin Gosens joined Union Berlin on a permanent transfer for a reported fee of €15 million.[17] On the same day, Inter filled the now-vacant left wing-back spot by signing Carlos Augusto from Monza on a season-long loan with a conditional obligation to buy for a reported total fee of €12 million plus bonuses.[18] On 16 August, Austrian striker Marko Arnautović made his return to Inter after 13 years, joining from Bologna on a season-long loan with a conditional obligation to buy for a reported fee of €8 million.[19]

On 5 January, following Juan Cuadrado's Achilles tendon surgery,[54] Inter signed Canadian wing-back Tajon Buchanan from Club Brugge as his replacement for a fee of €8.5 million plus bonuses.[55] The following day Inter beat Verona 2–1 in the first match of the year thanks to the goals from Lautaro and Frattesi, ending the first half of the season as league leaders.[56] On 13 January, Inzaghi's side won 5–1 against Monza away from home, thanks to the braces from Çalhanoğlu and Lautaro, and a goal from Thuram.[57] After the game against Monza, Inter flew to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia to play the Supercoppa Italiana.

February

[edit]

On 4 February, the second Derby d'Italia of the season was decided by an own goal from Federico Gatti, granting Inter a 1–0 victory at San Siro and increasing the point gap between the two teams.[64] On 10 February, Inter obtained a 4–2 comeback win against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico with goals from Acerbi, Thuram and Bastoni, as well as an own goal from Angeliño.[65] On 16 February, goals from Thuram, Lautaro, Dumfries and Arnautović granted Inter a comfortable 4–0 home victory over Salernitana.[66] Four days later, Inzaghi's side obtained a tight 1–0 win in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atlético Madrid, with Marko Arnautović claiming the winning goal.[67] On 25 February, a brace from Lautaro and the goals from Frattesi and De Vrij gave Inter a 4–0 win against Lecce.[68] Three days later, Inter defeated Atalanta 4–0 in the last match of the month, thanks to the goals from Darmian, Lautaro, Dimarco and Frattesi.

March

[edit]

On 4 March, Kristjan Asllani's first goal with the Nerazzurri shirt and a penalty kick scored by Alexis Sánchez granted Inter a narrow 2–1 win against Genoa, widening the gap between Inzaghi's side and Juventus by 15 points.[70] Five days later, Inter won their tenth consecutive league game by beating Bologna 1–0 through a Yann Bisseck header.[71] On 13 March, Inter's campaign in the UEFA Champions League came to an end in the round of 16, after going out on penalties to Atlético Madrid. Inter initially took the lead with a Federico Dimarco goal, but the Colchoneros came back with strikes from Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay, setting the aggregate score to 2–2, before eliminating the Nerazzurri in the penalty shoot-out. This was Inter's first defeat in 2024, interrupting a 13-match winning streak in all competitions.[72] On 17 March, Inter drew 1–1 against Napoli in Serie A, with the only goal for the Black and Blues coming from Darmian.[73]

On the first match of the month against Empoli on 1 April, Inter returned to their winning ways by defeating the Tuscanian team 2–0, thanks to the goals from Federico Dimarco and Alexis Sánchez.[74] On the same day, also as a result of the goalless draw between Lecce and Roma, Inter was the first Italian team to qualify for the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League.[75] On 8 April, a penalty kick from Çalhanoğlu and an injury time goal from Frattesi granted Inter a 2–1 comeback win against Udinese.[76] On 14 April, goals from Thuram and Çalhanoğlu were not enough to beat Cagliari at San Siro, with the game ending in a 2–2 draw.[77] On 22 April, Inter beat Milan 2–1 in the second Derby della Madonnina of the season thanks to the goals from Acerbi and Thuram, mathematically securing their historic 20th scudetto and second star with five games to spare.[78] Six days later, a brace from Çalhanoğlu gave Inter a 2–0 win against Torino in the last match of April.[79]

May

[edit]

Inter started May by suffering their second league loss of the season, losing 0–1 against relegation-battling Sassuolo, with the Neroverdi defeating the newly crowned champions again after doing so in the first half of the campaign and ending their 28-game unbeaten run in Serie A.[80] On 10 May, Inter returned to winning ways by defeating Frosinone 5–0 with the goals from Frattesi, Arnautović, Buchanan (his debut goal with the Nerazzurri shirt), Lautaro and Thuram.[81] On 19 May, Inter drew 1–1 against Lazio in the last home game of the season, with Dumfries scoring the late equaliser.[82] On 26 May, Inter drew 2–2 against Verona in the last match of the season, with Marko Arnautović scoring a brace for the Nerazzurri.[83] At the end of the season Lautaro Martínez finished as league's top scorer with 24 goals,[84] and was named Serie A MVP of the season.[85] Alessandro Bastoni and Hakan Çalhanoğlu won the best Serie A defender and midfielder awards of the season respectively,[86] and Simone Inzaghi was named the best coach of the league for 2023–24.[87]
