Inter Sampdoria 2005: Something old brings something new

Cult Hero: Alvaro Recoba

Inter are playing at home to Sampdoria on a cold afternoon in early 2005. In a game that Inter has dominated throughout, they now inexplicably find themselves two goals down.

This will be their first defeat in coach Roberto Mancini’s first season in charge. That said, the impending loss has probably been coming for some time. They have drawn too many games and at this relatively early stage of the season, Lo Scudetto already seems out of reach.
