Ever since its inception in 1955, the UEFA Champions League has been the pinnacle of European club football. Over the years, numerous illustrious clubs have battled for the ultimate glory, but some have faltered at the final hurdle. One such club is Inter Milan. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the lost Champions League finals that Inter endured throughout their storied history.

1966 – Real Madrid 2-1 Inter Milan

The first heartbreak for Inter came in 1966 when they faced Spanish giants Real Madrid in the final. Despite taking the lead through Sandro Mazzola, Inter succumbed to a late surge from Madrid, eventually losing 2-1. This loss left a bitter taste for Inter and their fans, but it also ignited a desire within the team to come back stronger in future editions of the tournament.

1972 – Ajax 2-0 Inter Milan

Inter had to wait another six years for their next appearance in the Champions League final. This time, they faced the mighty Ajax, led by the legendary Johan Cruyff. Unfortunately for Inter, Ajax proved too strong, securing a 2-0 victory. Despite the loss, Inter showcased their determination by making it to the final for the second time in just six years.

2010 – Inter Milan 0-2 Bayern Munich

After a long and agonizing wait of 38 years, Inter finally reached the Champions League final again in 2010. This time, they faced German powerhouse Bayern Munich. The final was a closely contested battle, but Bayern emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline. Inter fought valiantly, but they couldn’t quite overcome Bayern’s resilience.

Inter Milan’s journey in the Champions League has been marred by heartbreak and near misses. Although they have reached the final three times, their last victory in the competition came back in 1965. However, their triumphs in other competitions, coupled with their rich history, cannot be undermined. Inter will continue to strive for redemption in future Champions League campaigns, hoping to add to their rich trophy cabinet.
