How many times have Inter won the Champions League?

Inter Milan have won the Champions League three times in their history, emerging victorious in their first two seasons in the competition.

  • 1964 final: Inter Milan 3-1 Real Madrid
  • 1965 final: Inter Milan 1-0 Benfica
  • 2010 final: Inter Milan 2-0 Bayern Munich

In 1964, Inter beat a Real Madrid side featuring Ferenc Puskas and Alfredo Di Stefano in the final to lift the trophy in their debut season. They managed to retain their title the following season, too.

In 2010, Jose Mourinho completed an impressive treble with Inter, winning the Champions League, Serie A, and the Coppa Italia. He is the only Inter manager to have achieved this feat.

Inter also reached the European Cup final in 1967 and 1972, losing to Scottish side Celtic and Dutch club Ajax in each title match.
