Tuesday marked eight years to the day since Inter completed their historic triplete at the Santiago Bernabeu as they secured the final piece of the jigsaw, the UEFA Champions League trophy.

Former Inter president Massimo Moratti spoke with Rai News on the memories he has of the fans from the time as well as what he thinks of how Inter went about ending their six year exile from European football’s top club competition.

“The stadium was wonderful, the expressions on the faces of the Inter fans were of mixed happiness and commotion and this is the first thing that springs to mind when I think about the triplete.”

“What do I think of the way the club made a return to the Champions League after six years? The other night [against Lazio where Inter secured Champions League qualification] was fantastic, especially for how the game went. In the space of two minutes everything changed. The victory brought me immense joy.”
