Description

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve away kit for the Inter Milan 2005-2006 season.

The 2005-2006 season was a landmark campaign in Inter Milan’s history, representing both progress and the dawn of a new era under Roberto Mancini. Building on the foundations laid in his first season in charge, Mancini’s Inter entered the campaign determined to challenge for every major honor. With new arrivals such as Luís Figo, Walter Samuel, and David Pizarro complementing an already talented squad, the Nerazzurri approached the season with a renewed sense of purpose and ambition.

Inter began their campaign in emphatic fashion by winning the Supercoppa Italiana, defeating Juventus 1-0 in extra time thanks to a decisive goal from Juan Sebastián Verón. The victory set the tone for a season in which the team’s determination and quality would become increasingly evident.

In Serie A, Inter demonstrated consistency and tactical discipline throughout the campaign. Mancini’s side combined defensive solidity with attacking flair, led by the powerful forward line of Adriano, Julio Cruz, and Obafemi Martins. The team enjoyed several standout performances, including a memorable 3-2 victory in the Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan. Despite moments of inconsistency, Inter finished third in the league standings with 76 points – a result that was later revised to first place following the Calciopoli scandal, officially awarding Inter their first Serie A title since 1989.

On the continental stage, Inter performed admirably in the UEFA Champions League. After progressing comfortably through the group stage, they advanced to the quarterfinals, where they were narrowly eliminated by Villarreal on away goals. Although disappointed to fall short of a semifinal berth, the campaign showcased the team’s growing competitiveness in Europe and provided valuable experience for the squad.

Domestically, Inter’s most convincing displays came in the Coppa Italia, where they once again faced Roma in the final. Over two legs, the Nerazzurri triumphed 4-1 on aggregate, securing back-to-back Coppa Italia victories and reinforcing their reputation as a rising force in Italian football. This success, coupled with the Supercoppa Italiana triumph, marked Inter’s most trophy-laden season in over a decade.

Julio Cruz emerged as the team’s standout performer in front of goal, finishing as Inter’s top scorer with 15 goals in Serie A and 21 across all competitions. Adriano continued to play a crucial role with his strength and flair, while Esteban Cambiasso, Javier Zanetti, and Verón provided leadership and balance in midfield. The addition of Luís Figo added world-class experience and creativity to Mancini’s evolving system, while the defense, marshaled by Walter Samuel and Marco Materazzi, provided stability and resilience.

The season ultimately concluded in triumph. Inter were officially awarded the Serie A title, confirming a treble of domestic honors – the league, the Coppa Italia, and the Supercoppa Italiana. What began as a season of ambition ended as a campaign of vindication and celebration, signaling the start of Inter’s rise to dominance under Roberto Mancini.
