For the third time, this stadium became a place of sorrow for superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. 1999 Coppa Italia semi-final, the newly healed Danilo suffered a serious injury shortly after his appearance on the pitch! In the final round of the 1998-1999 Serie A season, Cristiano Ronaldo also lost the title here.
This time, Dall'Oro and Inter Milan once again left behind sadness and loss in Rome. Inter Milan, who lost on the road, was overtaken by Juve and Roma, slipping from first place to third in the Serie A table. Juve, coached by Lippi, got an unexpected surprise when they beat Udinese away to win the Serie A title. Winning Lazio advanced to sixth in the table.
Everything seemed to be a trick of fate. Boboski scored only four Serie A goals that season, but this game was a two-goal game that shattered Inter's dreams of winning the title. Inter Milan started well, taking the lead twice, but both times they were turned back in a big way. Happily, Dairo led the Brazilian men's soccer team to the World Cup title in less than two months and was top scorer with eight goals.
I remember that night, as a Milan fan, I was dragged to a BBQ restaurant to watch the game by a die-hard Inter + Dallas brother. He kept inviting us to dinner to celebrate the championship. As a result, he was a crying mess.
Our AC Milan fans were delighted when Vieri broke the deadlock. After all, it wasn't easy for Moratti to spend all those years, so he deserves a Serie A title to console him.
The game left Big Lo completely heartbroken, leaving Inter Milan and returning to La Liga to join Galactic Warriors Real Madrid.
Recoba, known as the China Boy, was also sad and in tears after the game.
