When thinking of Italian teams in the UEFA Champions League, Inter Milan are one of the very first that come to mind.
The Nerazzurri have enjoyed a decent amount of success in this tournament, with two titles in the European Cup era and one in the current Champions League format. Home games at the San Siro are a sight to behold, as this stunning venue can hold more than 80,000 spectators.
Inter have been able to assemble a squad full of superstars over the years. Previous squads included the likes of Javier Zanetti, Júlio César, and Ronaldo Nazário. We have also seen some of the very best strikers pull on the famous blue and black shirt, including Samuel Eto’o, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Diego Milito, and Lautaro Martinez.

Inter Milan Top Achievements in the Champions League
The Serie A outfit, as mentioned, have been very successful when competing in UEFA's premier club competition, having lifted the trophy on no fewer than three occasions.
The first of these successes came in 1963/64 (their first appearance at the European Cup), with victory over Real Madrid in the final, before the Nerazzurri successfully defended their crown the following year. More recently José Mourinho guided the team to a historic Treble in 2009/10, topped off with Champions League glory thanks to a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the final.
Inter have reached the final of this competition on no fewer than seven occasions. They tasted defeat to Celtic FC (1966/67), Ajax (1971/72), Manchester City (2022/23) & PSG (2024/25).
Inter Milan Memorable Moments in the Champions League
The Nerazzurri have plenty of memorable moments in this competition, though their back-to-back title wins in 1963/64 and 1964/65 would undoubtedly be the pick of the bunch.
Inter's run to the 2009/10 Champions League final was also a memorable campaign, as it saw Diego Milito and Samuel Eto’o fire the Italians to a famous Treble. José Mourinho steered the team to European glory, having managed to overcome the challenge of FC Barcelona on four occasions (two matches in the group stages and a two-legged semi-final tie). Inter had also got the better of Chelsea in the Round of 16 before having to go up against German giants Bayern Munich in the final.
In 2025, the undoubted highlight of the Inter Milan run to the final was an epic tie against FC Barcelona in the semi-finals. A 3-3 draw away in the first leg featured some incredible goals. At the San Siro, in the second game, Inter Milan were heading out with just three minutes to go but Francesco Acerbi equalised with seconds to go. Davide Frattesi won the tie in extra time. Inter's Champions League dream would ultimately end in heartbreak in the final itself, as they were thrashed 5-0 by PSG in Munich — the most one-sided final in the competition's history.
