Diego Milito scored 30 goals in all competitions that year, including goals in every stage of the UCL, and the Copa Italia final. Yet he wasn't even nominated for the Balon D'or that year. Criminal

[@juniorgonzalez3900]

Nor was he called by Maradona to join the Argentine squad.......

[@luizhumbertocampos1103]

​@@juniorgonzalez3900 I think he was, but Higuaín was the starter.

[@saviobenitez4710]

​@@juniorgonzalez3900 He was. Zanetti and Cambiasso were not.

[@HHHBFResurrected]

Mourinho's best achievement IMO. A lot of people will say Porto but that team in that season's CL by the Q-F stage were actually one of the favourites along with Arsenal & Real Madrid, the team was very good & that was a strange year for the competition. The window of opportunity was there, certainly by the semis when the other two were knocked out, and Porto took it. Inter in 2010 was a different story. Possibly a better team than his Porto one (possibly!) but the competition it beat was a VERY different level. Chelsea at arguably the peak of their powers in the last 16, Barcelona very close to the peak of their powers under Guardiola in the S-F, and Bayern who were also chasing a treble in the final. All three won their domestic leagues & serious contenders where Inter was a dark horse in truth only because Mourinho was there.

[@marko_1marko]

Possibly? What are you even talking, that Inter team was far better than Porto. Only Deco from Porto could make it maybe in that Inter team.

[@yavorangelov1601]

Man, winning CL with that Porto team is a stroke of genius, on top of having won UEFA's Cup(Europa League's analogue) the previous season. As far as my football knowledge goes, it is up there with winning PL with Leicester by Ranieri and Clough taking Forest, winning promotion, then winning top division and then winning two CLs.

[@HHHBFResurrected]

@@yavorangelov1601 I don't wanna offend you but comparing Leicester winning the PL to that is laughable, sorry but it is. Clough I can't say as I wasn't alive & haven't researched much about him or his teams, all I can say is it was a very different era of football where money hadn't built the massive wedge between the top & bottom that is prevalent today & thus the impact a certain manager or player could have on a club was more pronounced in terms of quickly delivering trophies (e.g. Goteborg, Hamburg, Napoli, etc...) The disparity between the PL & the rest of Europe in 2004 hadn't become as monstrous as it is today yet, Serie A was starting it's decline & Barcelona/Real were having all sorts of problems. The opportunity for the likes of Porto & Monaco (who they beat in the final) was there to provide the shock. Not saying it wasn't extremely impressive, just think Inter was more so for the reason I mentioned.

[@yavorangelov1601]

@@HHHBFResurrected I don't think you have realistic estimation of all the factors. How is the Inter's treble team 'possibly better', than Porto's CL winning team? Are you dreaming, mate? That Inter squad was full of international players for some of the best footballing countries(Argentina, Brazil, Netherlands and so on), with a candidate for Ballon D'or, having living legends and worldclass players. That Porto team had.... Deco, Carvalho and Bosingwa, as these are the only ones that actually went to be world-class apart from that Porto squad and Mourinho. And how is winning a league consisting of 38 matches being played the same difficulty as winning a knockout tournament(don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's easy)? Knockout tournaments are difficult precisely, because one mistake costs you the entire thing. You can win a league with 15 bad results in 38 matches; while you can exit a knockout tournament for 1 bad result in 1 match. That's why winning a knockout tournament requires more focus and is more difficult. The room for mistake is simply non-existent in knockout tournaments, because a mistake costs you the entire thing. I appreciate your points, because many of them are true, but some of the things you say are out of this world. No offense, but I honestly don't think you are estimating all the factors and facts involved accurately and realistically.

[@HHHBFResurrected]

@@yavorangelov1601 That's my opinion having watched both teams, and I watched a lot of his Inter team in particular. Honestly it didn't really surprise me that Benitez struggled to get it to work, the players were great on paper but it was tactically imbalanced. It could only aggressively attack down the right side & Maicon couldn't defend as Bale quite conclusively showed, most of the CB's & holding players were slow/without Lucio there's no way you could play a high line, it had no wingers to speak of (in combination with no aggressive LB a serious structural problem), and all the strikers liked to play on the last line. The fact Mourinho managed to develop an effective working system out of those components, convincing strikers to do donkey work on the wings, was astonishing to me. It was one of those teams only Mourinho could make work, his Porto team weren't like that. If it hadn't of been stripped immediately I'm confident it would've grown into being a force. The issue is more that Leicester's achievement in winning the PL simply can't be compared to Porto's winning the CL because of the chasm sized gulf in quality between those teams - that would've applied even if it was they who won the CL & Porto won the PL. It was a 5000-1 shot for a reason, and doing a quick google search Porto's odds at the start of the 03-04 CL with most English bookies was 50-1 (which surprised me tbh, thought they'd be a bit shorter). But on the topic of league vs. knockout football I strongly disagree. It's 10x harder because you have to prove your quality & consistency over a period of 38 games, it's the old saying in football "the luckiest team wins the cup, the best team wins the league". Knockout football by it's design gives teams with lesser quality the chance to upset the odds as fewer outstanding performances can get you over the line, there's also the luck of the draw that plays a decisive factor which as I argued Inter didn't have in 2010. League football is honest & brutal - the best team wins, no if's or but's.

[@Hyde_Hill]

I'd argue that Sneijder was more important then Milito as he gave the assists or pre assists for his goals. He arguably deserved the golden ball for 2010.

[@Sou_HighBou]

No

[@FranciscoSmirsley]

I remember Milito on that Final and boy was he on fire! much to the dismay and perplexity of all Germans watching that match in that pub where I was with a friend, and we two being the ONLY supporters of Inter. What an evening!

[@lunarc8141]

His Chelsea was better at football, his Inter was better at emotion

[@sidneyabeljumbo2364]

His madrid were better at both.

[@Deathmare235]

Thought it was the other way around

Winning UCL with Porto is comparable to Nottingham Forest winning the old version of the UCL.

[@andyb2830]

wicked video. watched every inter game that season.. maybe missed 2 or 3

[@saneleandilemhlongo]

Great video man I love football documentaries 🔥...I think you made a mistake on Inter's 100% final record in the European Cup though, they lost in the 1966-67 final to Celtic (to give Celtic the first ever treble, and only quadruple in history).

[@maurocolombo1404]

Inter also appeared in the 1972 final against Ajax when they lost 2-0

[@seb2750]

It is amazing how a new team thats rebuilding just won it all like that. New players: Sneijder, Eto'o, Milito, Lucio, etc ... they just clicked in the end and won the treble. Who ever saw a new team rebuild like that just win it?

[@ezraezra2928]

Fun Fact: After writing a big history for Inter Milan, Mourinho was unsurprisingly became the Real Madrid manager. This was obvious because Florentino Perez was so excited to see him winning a Champions League at Real Madrid's homeground, Santiago Bernabeu, and Mourinho might write a history again by winning La Decima as Real Madrid. However, despite Cristiano Ronaldo's individual success, Real Madrid closed Mourinho's chapter for three years without UCL trophies. Then, Carlo Ancelotti was arrived and Real Madrid was successfully resurrected their hopes with 5 UCL trophies between 2014-2022.

[@adrianli7559]

To be fair, Mourinho laid the groundwork for what came after. Barca were at their peak, but Mourinho chipped away enough at Barca and developed a lot so that Ancelotti and Zidane could succeed.

Good video and all but you pronounce Mourinho's first name wrong. He's Portuguese, no Spanish. It's not Ho-say it's Djoe-say.

[@HITCFootball]

Ah sorry, my mistake

[@caverramos7581]

When you talk about militos decline in 18:20 You do realize Milito came back to argentina and inmeiately afterwards won the league tittle with his boyhood club Racing right? I mean his return to argentina was less a decline and more of a storybook sendoff, he helped turn raccing back into an argentina powerhouse

[@rei3951]

You should show the scores more often instead of a grey screen. Also instead of using calm lofi music maybe something like jazz with really distinct horn sections can make things more lively, like football! Still a good video though

@@Nokia2.4a1 good call. mainly what happened was that I knew Inter didn't have a 100% record so i just went and found one example later than '65. I strive to forget when Inter loses and will do so for both these games as soon as I am done with this comment.
