Season
Inter made their debut in the European Cup, due to the Scudetto won last year.[2] Their first match was in Everton, resulting in a goalless draw.[3] Jair, in the retour match, became the first scorer of the club in this competition.[3] In the following rounds, Inter beat in order: Monaco (4–1 aggregate), Partizan Beograd (4–1) and Borussia Dortmund (4–2).[4][5]
In the final, Inter faced off with Real Madrid who had defeated Milan (qualified as the reigning champion) in the quarter-finals.[4] Some key men of the Spanish side, like Puskás and Di Stéfano, were about to turn 40 years old but had still wishes to win.[4] Near the end of the first half, Sandro Mazzola scored with a shot from 25 metres.[4] During the second half, Milani scored the goal to go up by two after Vicente's mistake.[4] Felo marked the only point for Real Madrid, before Mazzola signed the final 3–1.[4][3] Inter won the trophy in its first attempt, conquering – at the same time – its first European honour.[4] Four days later, Inter ended the domestic league equal with Bologna at 54 points.[3] It led, for the only time in Serie A history, to a tie-break for the awarding of the Italian title: Bologna won 2–0, qualifying for the 1964–65 European Cup, in which Inter was admitted as defending champion.[3]
