The dream duo: Vieri and Ronaldo at San Siro | OneFootball

On the night of Inter vs Bodø/Glimt, San Siro welcomed a duo that made every Inter fan – and every fan of the game worldwide – smile: Ronaldo and Christian Vieri.

The dream duo shared the Meazza pitch just 11 times, yet they dazzled supporters with every touch and ignited the Interisti with every goal and celebration. Fewer than 700 minutes on the field side by side – 667, to be precise – but a sensational attacking return: 18 goals in total, nine from Ronaldo and nine from Vieri, an average of one goal every 37 minutes.

“Never seen anything like it” was one of the many reactions to Ronnie’s magic. Unique in his ability to combine technique and explosive pace in a way never witnessed before, he was simply different. His brilliance, paired with Vieri’s power and innate goalscoring ability – 123 in 190 appearances in Nerazzurro – defined an era that remains etched in the memory of generations of Inter supporters.

In the pre-match build-up to the second leg of the 2025/26 Champions League play-offs, the Nerazzurri fans were given the chance to see them together on the pitch once again. Their walk onto the turf of San Siro, their eyes raised once more towards the stands, marked an unforgettable moment.

Their return to San Siro was also accompanied by a celebratory tribute, with the presentation of their iconic Nerazzurri shirts bearing the numbers 9 and 32, a fitting homage to two legends who wrote a truly unforgettable chapter in the Club’s history.
