Moratti relied on Luigi Simoni as coach and on Ronaldo as star. Further purchases resulted in Diego Simeone, Francesco Moriero and Álvaro Recoba who - in his debut - scored twice, helping Inter beat Brescia in a 2–1 comeback. Compared to the previous seasons, it proved to be better for Inter who mounted their first serious shot at the title since 1989.

However, with a loss at Juventus, the reigning champions won 1–0, holding three points over Inter. Ten days later, Inter conquered - for the third time in the last seven years - the UEFA Cup beating Lazio 3–0. The domestic league ended with Inter in second place, last achieved in 1993.
