F.C. Internazionale Milano sustained its first proper title challenge since 1998 during the first season for new coach Héctor Cúper, who arrived on the back of taking Valencia to consecutive UEFA Champions League finals. Inter finally had a reliable goalkeeper in Francesco Toldo, while Christian Vieri had a season free of his persistent injuries that had plagued him during his first two seasons with the club, allowing him to score 22 league goals. Even Brazilian goalgetter Ronaldo played a crucial role during the second half of the season, following three years on the sidelines. Javier Zanetti, Iván Córdoba and Cristiano Zanetti among others also had decent seasons.
Following a 3-1 victory over Roma with six matches left to play, Inter was the favourite to reclaim the Serie A title it last won in 1989, but, due to a few less than successful games, its clear lead shrunk to just one point prior to the final game of the season, when it visited Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. Lazio had had a terrible season but still had UEFA Cup qualification to play for. Even though Inter led 1-0 and then 2-1, Karel Poborský equalised both times before the interval. In the second half, Inter collapsed completely, with Lazio eventually scoring twice, winning 4-2. That handed Juventus the title thanks to its victory at Udinese, and also allowed reigning champions Roma through to take second. Therefore, Inter finished only third in the final table, just two points shy of Juventus.
