Born on October 10, 1974, in Santiago del Estero, Julio Cruz turns 51 today.

He arrived at Inter in the summer of 2003 and began his Nerazzurri career by leaving an unforgettable mark with his first goal, scored in the Champions League, where he broke the deadlock against Arsenal in a 3-0 win at the legendary Highbury Stadium. From that moment on, he wore the Nerazzurri shirt for six seasons, during which he distinguished himself for his great professionalism and total dedication to the cause. His goal in the derby in March 2007, which was decisive in winning the Scudetto, was also unforgettable. Overall, he scored 75 goals in 195 appearances between 2003 and 2009, contributing to two Coppa Italia victories, three Supercoppa Italiana titles, and four Scudetto titles with spectacular goals and quality play. FC Internazionale Milano and the Nerazzurri fans wish “El Jardinero” Julio Ricardo Cruz all the best!
