In Their Own Story
The atmosphere inside the Stadio Olimpico was hostile, yet the Nerazzurri remained unshaken. When the final whistle confirmed the 1-0 scoreline, the silence of the Roman crowd gave way to the roar of the traveling Inter faithful. Milito was lifted on his teammates' shoulders, the scorer who would soon become synonymous with this season's glory. It was a moment of quiet triumph in enemy territory that signaled the start of an unstoppable run toward Madrid.
