Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta identifies the victory against Juventus as the most emotional win of the club’s 2023/24 campaign.
The Nerazzurri won the league title with a landslide victory, 19 points ahead of runners-up AC Milan.
However, there was a point midway through the campaign where Max Allegri’s Juve were threatening Inter’s lead.
It was the prelude to a highly anticipated Scudetto on February 4 at San Siro. Federico Gatti’s own goal proved to be the only decisive element of the evening.
The result gave Inter a comfortable lead, while the Old Lady subsequently collapsed, succumbing to a mid-season slump.
Marotta therefore chose this victory as the most significant and emotional moment of the season, at least from a sporting point of view.
“My happiest moment? From a sporting point of view, I would choose victory over Juventus “at San Siro,” the 67-year-old said during the presentation of the film “Inter, two stars on the chest” (via FcInterNews).

“From a general point of view, I cannot forget April 28, when after the match against Turin the team traveled around the city by bus, accompanied by a mass of people who had a common denominator in the black and blue faith.
“And that had a great power, that of breaking down an ethnic, cultural and economic and financial barrier. They were all involved in this great feeling that is love for Inter.”
Marotta was one of the main architects of Juve’s nine-year title-winning dynasty. He left the club in 2018 and joined Inter shortly after.
It was a move that ultimately changed the landscape of Italian football.
