The Inter Milan 1997–98 Third Retro Football Shirt celebrates one of the defining seasons of the Nerazzurri’s 1990s era. Under Luigi Simoni, Inter finished second in Serie A and enjoyed a memorable European campaign following the arrival of Brazilian superstar Ronaldo, who scored 34 goals in 47 appearances during his remarkable debut season in Milan.
Inter’s European journey culminated at the Parc des Princes in Paris, where they defeated Lazio 3–0 in the first UEFA Cup Final to be decided over a single match. Iván Zamorano opened the scoring before Javier Zanetti doubled the advantage, with Ronaldo completing the victory after rounding goalkeeper Luca Marchegiani. The result secured Inter’s third UEFA Cup and the first trophy of the Massimo Moratti era.
The shirt is instantly recognisable for its unconventional grey base and broad black-and-blue horizontal bands, creating a rugby-inspired appearance that stands apart from Inter’s traditional vertical Nerazzurri stripes. Its bold horizontal structure, classic collar and prominent central sponsorship capture the experimental style of late-1990s football design, while its association with Ronaldo’s debut season and Inter’s 1998 UEFA Cup triumph gives the shirt exceptional historical significance.

Rec. Player Printing Options
Printing Position Recommendation RONALDO 10 Striker Best Printing Choice. Ronaldo scored 34 goals in his debut Inter season, won the UEFA Cup and wore No.10 for his only season with that number at the club. J. ZANETTI 4 Defender / Midfielder An exceptional collector choice combining legendary Inter status with a goal in the 3–0 UEFA Cup Final victory over Lazio. ZAMORANO 9 Striker Wore the No.9 shirt during Ronaldo’s debut season and scored the opening goal in the 1998 UEFA Cup Final. DJORKAEFF 6 Attacking Midfielder A major creative figure in Simoni’s side, making 42 appearances and scoring eight goals across the campaign. SIMEONE 14 Midfielder A key member of the UEFA Cup-winning midfield who made 41 appearances and scored seven goals during the season. MORIERO 17 Winger One of Inter’s busiest players during the campaign, making 44 appearances and providing another authentic 1997–98 option. Best Printing Choice: RONALDO 10
Second Choice: J. ZANETTI 4
We recommend RONALDO 10 as the standout printing choice for the Inter Milan 1997–98 Third Retro Football Shirt. Ronaldo enjoyed an extraordinary debut season in Milan, scoring 34 goals in 47 appearances as Inter finished second in Serie A and lifted the UEFA Cup. The 1997–98 campaign was also the only season in which Ronaldo wore Inter’s No.10 shirt, giving RONALDO 10 a unique connection to this particular kit. He completed the season’s European story by scoring Inter’s third goal in the 3–0 UEFA Cup Final victory over Lazio in Paris.
Our second recommendation is J. ZANETTI 4. Javier Zanetti was already an important figure in the side and scored a superb second goal in the UEFA Cup Final. Combined with his later status as one of the greatest and most enduring figures in Inter history, J. ZANETTI 4 offers exceptional long-term collector appeal.
