Juventus is a name that needs no introduction. The club has had the world falling in love with its incredible football performances, as well as the team of many talented players and the genius of the coach.
Juventus's "golden years" are difficult to pinpoint because they have been constantly profitable since the 1930s. Only in the 1940s, 1960s, and 2000s were awards a little more difficult to obtain. With eight Championships and 96 of its 447.5 total points gained, the 2010s are without a doubt Juventus' most prosperous decade. Additionally, they have accomplished the extraordinary achievement of winning every UEFA trophy available, including two EC/CLs. So far, they have achieved a total of 71 national and international titles.

Inter Milan is also a big football club in Italy and has had many achievements. They won their very first championship in 1910. In 1939, the club won its first ‘'Coppa.'’ Its heyday was in 1960, when coach Helenio Herrera arrived from Barcelona FC. He used a modified version of the 'door bolt' system of play, which was designed to allow more flexibility for counterattacks. Inter won three titles and two European Cups during Herrera's first tenure as manager.
After Juventus and AC Milan had their points docked owing to a match-fixing scandal that year, Inter was given their 14th championship that season. It would reach its pinnacle once more under legendary manager Jose Mourinho, who in the 2009–10 season guided the team to an unheard-of "European Treble."
