But by March 2001, they were nine points behind Serie A leaders Roma in third place, while their Champions League campaign was over before a ball had even been kicked in Yorkshire.Forza Italian Football's Editor-in-Chief Conor Clancy is joined by writer Alasdair Mackenzie to discuss his favourite game.Support th...

Forza Italian FootballMy Favourite Game: Mourinho masterclass downs BarcelonaNow regarded as one of the best club teams of all time, I wasn't exactly confident heading into the two-legged tie against Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and former Nerazzurri star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

That's what made the 3-1 victory in the first leg all the more surprising, and put things into perspective: I was 90 minutes away from seeing Inter play in the Champions League final.Little did I know that the return leg at the Camp Nou would be one of the m...

Forza Italian FootballMy Favourite Game: A magical night in DortmundUp until 2006, I had come to expect disappointment with Italy, especially in light of the Calciopoli scandal that rocked Serie A. We had good players - who in hindsight were more than just good - but other countries could rely on names like Miroslav Klose, Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Zinedine Zidane and Fernando Torres.All of these things made Italy's run to the World Cup semi-finals all the more surprising. The Germans stood in our way, and while we had always beat them at major tournaments up to that point, all signs pointed to that streak coming...
