Inter fans were reminded on Monday of a special Champions League anniversary featuring former striker Adriano.
L’Imperatore helped the Nerazzurri record a 2-1 win at home to Villarreal 15 years ago yesterday, in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
Obafemi Martins got the winner in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to stop Roberto Mancini’s side sliding out of the competition on away goals in the second leg.
UEFA’s Italian-language Twitter account asked its followers to recall which year the goal was scored, the answer being 2006.
