In the 1953–54 season, Internazionale competed in the domestic league as the defending champion.

Summary

Inter started the season without Nyers, cut off from the club following a debate with chairman Masseroni about his salary.[1][2] However, this did not seem to encumber play, resulting in a better season than the previous year.[1][2] Nyers came back just before the Derby della Madonnina, and won 3–0 by his hat-trick.[1][2] Six months later in the Derby d'Italia, Inter beat Juventus 6–0,[1][2] which was crucial for the conquest of another Scudetto, leaving Juventus one point shy.[1][2]
