Season
Mazzola and Beltrami acquired on transfers, Roberto Mozzini (centre-back) and Domenico Caso (right winger) for a team who - in previous years - was told did not win due to the lack of planning.[1][2] The line-up was completed by: Bordon (goalkeeper), Baresi and Pasinato (right and left full-back), Bini (sweeper and captain), Oriali (half-back), Marini (midfielder), Beccalossi (playmaker), Muraro (left winger) and Altobelli (centre-forward).[1][2]
Inter retained the top of the league since matchday 1, beating Pescara 2–0.[3] Autumnal highlights resulted to be the wins over Milan (2–0 with both goals scored by Beccalossi) and Juventus (4–0 with a hat-trick of Altobelli and a goal for Muraro).[2] Toward the end of the first half, Inter lost some points losing to Roma and drawing with Fiorentina and Ascoli.[2] However, by mid-season Inter was in first place with 21 points, two over the reigning champion of Milan.[2] In the second half of the league, Inter earned another 20 points leaving all opponents behind.[2] Their 12th Scudetto was won on 27 April 1980, with a 2–2 draw against Roma in which Mozzini scored his only goal of his Inter career.[2] The final record was of 14 wins, 13 draws and three losses for a total of 41 points,[2] three more than Juventus (38) and five more than Milan (36).[1] During the 30 games, the side scored 44 goals with 11 different players (in order: Oriali, Altobelli, Beccalossi, Marini, Bini, Muraro, Pasinato, Baresi, Caso, Ambu and Mozzini).[2][3] Altobelli hit the target for 15 times: just Roberto Bettega managed to do better, scoring 16 goals.[2][3]
