Under manager Rafael Benítez, Inter Milan aimed to defend their treble but faced challenges maintaining the same level of dominance. The squad featured Diego Milito, Javier Zanetti, Wesley Sneijder, and Samuel Eto’o, retaining much of the previous season’s attacking and defensive strength. Inter won the Supercoppa Italiana and secured Serie A with a solid performance, though domestic and European form fluctuated compared to the treble season. In the Champions League, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Schalke 04. The campaign reflected transition and squad rotation, highlighting the difficulty of sustaining peak performance after an historic treble-winning season.
