On March 16th, Inter Milan tactician José Mourinho will return to the Stamford Bridge for the second leg of the double fixture with his former club Chelsea where he spent two hugely successful seasons.

Inter patron Massimo Moratti has made no secret of his desire to lift the Champions League trophy and has splashed the cash in many failed attempts to make that a reality. The Italian champions are aiming for the treble this season and for the first time in many years actually seem to have a fair chance in reaching their objectives.

Although the season is far from over, the Nerazzurri seem well on their way to securing their fifth consecutive Scudetto. On top of that, they also have the advantage ahead of the second leg of their Coppa Italia semifinal against Fiorentina.

But in the end, it comes down to one thing; does Inter have what it takes to make a genuine push for the title that has evaded them ever since the glorious era of "Grande Inter" in the mid-sixties?

When José Mourinho arrived on the Peninsula and at Inter Milan, the expectations for the self-proclaimed Special One sky rocketed.

The Champions League was the undisputed number-one priority, and the Milan club that had waited since 1965 would surely experience European glory at last.

Mourinho was to succeed where his predecessor had failed, as Roberto Mancini, despite bringing the club their first Scudetto since 1989, was sacked ahead of the current campaign due to the repeated failures in Europe's finest tournament.

The Portuguese started off in a cheery manner despite the club's early stumble, but Inter soon began to churn out the points needed and get ahead on the table. The team showcased some less than convincing performances as the players clearly struggled with Mourinho's preferred 4-3-3, which also left the Inter tactician's vision of the indestructible machine far away.
