You are doing downright brilliant so far. Benteke looks like a GOD, and Salvio is also playing wonderful football. Sign him up!!

THE NEW ROBERTO BAGGIO?

I took in the game between our youth side and the batch of young trialists to run the rule over potential new additions to our academy.

I was told by my development team to watch a little right winger by the name of Giorgio Batistoni, apparently he is the new Roberto Baggio and has wizardry in his boots.

The trialists took our youth team to pieces and won 6-2 with Batistoni scoring FOUR and setting up another.

He has duly signed with the club and with his potential, the comparisons to Il Divin' Codino (The Divine Ponytail) may not be too far wide of the mark.



TRANSFER NEWS

We have secured the signature of Napoli striker, Eduardo Vargas on a Bosman free transfer for next season after some impressive performances while on loan at Brazilian club, Gremio.

MARCH REVIEW

Some impressive performances in March leave the possibility of becoming #InterVincibles very much a reality.

5 wins from 5, 4 clean sheets and a demolition of Sassuolo leaves the mood in the San Siro buzzing heading in to the final seven games of the season.



10 points clear of nearest rivals, Juve, the title is ours to lose.



PLAYER OF THE MONTH

Benteke? Nope.

Salvio? Nope.

The March player of the month goes to… Our custodian, Samir Handanovic.

The keeper has been in inspired form and four cleans sheets in five games is world class form.
Incredible month.......again O.o Nice update :)
Wow, great results! That regen looks quality, hope he develops into a new Inter star :D
Cheers Lucas and Neal :)
APRIL… THE BEGINNING

We started April well, 3 wins and 3 more clean sheets.

Handanovic marshals the back four well, while Ranocchia and Balanta have been key figures in defence alongside Zanetti and Yagatomo.

Genoa and Chievo fell victims to our main defence and clinical finishing before a trip to the Olimpico.



The win against Roma means that if Juventus failed to beat Verona later in the day, the title would be coming back to the blue and black side of the San Siro….

Nervy times, especially with our next game being the derby…. What a sweet way that would be to win the league...


JUVENTUS 1-1 VERONA

It was official, Giorgio Chiellini's 87th minute OG rescued a point for Verona and finally obliterated any glimmer of hope the Bianconeri had of retaining their title...

We'd done it… CHAMPIONS AGAIN!! FORZA INTER!!

LEAGUE TABLE

14 points clear and four games to spare, a tremendous season and wonderful effort from everyone involved had reaped the results.



The celebrations went on in to the night, the lads were in good spirits and I took my leave early and started focussing on my next quest…

To become….

#InterVincibles


Four games stood between us and immortality.

They weren't easy games either, a Milan derby, the derby d'Italia, Napoli and Fiorentina.

With the league wrapped up, I had to ensure the players stayed hungry, motivated and most importantly, dominant.



Our second derby of the season was a quieter affair than it's predecessor with Milan a lot more up for the game.

Christian Benteke's 84th minute header after a Balotelli opener rescued a point.



A drab 0-0 draw in Turin ensured that we went 36 games unbeaten.



A better performance against Napoli helped us pass the 90 point mark - goals from Benteke, Bonaventura and Alvarez securing the win.

Can we do it?

Can we go the whole league season unbeaten?

The final game of the season was a trip to the Artemio Franchi to play La Viola.

Giuseppe Rossi fired the hosts in to a 36th minute lead and the Italian international doubled their advantage on 44 minutes.

Half time score - Fiorentina 2-0 FC Internazionale
No...NO!!! COME ON INTER! One half of football to save INTERVINCIBLES!

Great updates and well done on winning the league :)
Hopefully you can get a comeback against Fiorentina!

I shouted, I swore, I gave them all a kick up the arse…

I was seconds away from throwing a water bottle at Samir fucking Handanovic's head.

Out they went, 45 minutes to save the unbeaten record.

Honestly, if we lost this game, the title would be tainted.

Chances came and went, Fiorentina rarely threatened while we hit the bar and Christian Benteke missed a penalty.

75 minutes gone…. I sacrificed Verratti for a second striker, Mauro Icardi ran on and rose above his marker to power home a header from Eduardo Salvio's corner.

Instant impact.

2-1.

Salvio and Bonaventura on the wings were tormenting the Fiorentina full backs but the harder we pushed, the more the equaliser didn't look like it was coming.

87, 88, 89, 90…. Injury time. 4 minutes.

91, 92, 93…. FUCK!!!

Handanovic pumped a long ball towards Benteke, the big man flicked it on…. Bonaventura rounded the goalkeeper, he had an empty net… Surely, he can't miss….

The post. He hit the post with a gaping goal at his mercy.

I buried my head in my hands and awaited the final whistle.

YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Roared the crowd.

I looked up and Icardi was being mobbed by the whole team, the little Argentine reacted first and tapped home the rebound as it came off the post!!

Fiorentina kicked off…. There it was, the loud, sharp shrill of the referee's whistle.

We'd done it!!!

We were #InterVincibles!!!

What a comeback! Outstanding stuff! #InterVincibles
WOW! Incredible comeback! #InterVincibles
Neal & Pompey Blue - Cheers lads!!
