Season
In 2002 summer, Inter's market was shaken from the gossip about Ronaldo who had just win World Cup. His querelle with Cúper brought to departure, toward Real Madrid. The forward place was taken by Hernán Crespo, who played last years for Lazio. Crespo's partner was Vieri, whose goals gave Inter a notable amount of points. During autumnal time, the side retained top position for several games and passed the first Champions League group.
In January, the 4–1 loss against Perugia let Milan get the mid-season title. His dominance expired out after an only week, as they were defeated and Inter (who stunned Empoli by 3–0) returned first. Some weeks later, the side was reached by Juventus that also won head-to-head clash. As spring came, Inter took his pressure off: European distraction and a lot of points wasted stuck the team at second place. Champions League outcome was good too, as they played semi-finals for first time in last 22 years.
