Season

Fans thought of 1987 as a year zero, hoping in a revival from the club.^[1] Trapattoni managed to avoid the departures of Altobelli and Zenga^[2] while Nobile and Scifo arrived, in add to a return for Serena.^[3] Initial results were poor: Inter passed the preliminary stage of the Coppa Italia only due to goal difference, after have finished 4 out of 5 games from penalty spot (with an equal number of wins and losses).^[4]^[5] Rummenigge left Milan days before Italian league could start^[6] with a home loss (0–2) against Pescara, who gained his first win in Serie A on Inter's soil.^[7]

The side collected a goalless draw in the UEFA Cup with Beşiktaş,^[8] then beaten (3–1) in return match.^[9] The next continental opponent was Turun Palloseura, able to win at the San Siro with a single goal.^[10] After a 2–1 success over Juventus signed by Serena (former Bianconeri player),^[11] Inter also won the second leg.^[12] Inter was knocked out in the round of 16 by Espanyol^[13] with a 2–1 aggregate.^[14]^[15] Trapattoni's team managed to reach the semifinal of the domestic cup,^[16]^[17]^[18] but lost to Sampdoria.^[19]^[20] The Italian league, marked by losses in both citizen derbies, ended with a fifth place useful to get qualification for the UEFA Cup next season.^[21]
