Inter, achieved better results in cups,[9] [10] made a comeback (3–2) in a match against Sampdoria, scoring all three goals in the last six minutes.[11] [12] The derby with Milan was lost 1–0, which broke a winning streak, in May 2004.[13] the rivals also knocked Inter out of the Champions League, tournament in which – during the previous two-legs – Mancini's squad had been beaten by reigning champions Porto.[14] [15] Inter achieved a third-place finish in the league.[16] The win of the Coppa Italia final against Roma, 3–0 on aggregate, closed the season.[17] [18] [19]
