2 consecutive European Cups. 20 goals conceded in 30 games. Catenaccio perfected. Standard reference for Italian defence.
Helenio Herrera's Grande Inter won back-to-back European Cups (1964, 1965) and three Serie A titles (1963, 1965, 1966) using the most disciplined version of catenaccio in football history. They conceded just 20 goals in 30 Serie A games in the 1964–65 title-winning campaign. Sandro Mazzola, Jair, and Javier Zanetti (decades later) formed attacking partnerships that generated enough to win Europe while conceding almost nothing. Grande Inter is the standard reference for all discussions of Italian defensive perfectionism.
