Italian football has a big three: Juventus, Milan and Inter. One’s successful back home, the other more so abroad and the other… neither here nor there.
This is Inter Milan, a team that can dominate but often prefers to keep its success brief, with long distances between. However, there was a moment—just one moment—when they might just have been the best Italy had ever seen. And it is when Germany controlled Calcio.

What if Documentaries is YouTube's only football magazine, with monthly issues of five videos each month on a topic as far back as the dominant Aston Villa team of the 1890s, as recently as Napoli's stunning 2023 Scudetto winning team, as obvious as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo and their litany of trophies, as obscure as Dynamo Moscow's passovotchka football of the 40s. We've got it all.
