Happy birthday, Adriano

The Emperor turns 44 today. For Inter fans, his name connotes power, talent, and unforgettable goals. His arrival at Inter brought excitement as well as high expectations, which he easily lived up to with that lethal left foot that made his presence felt immediately in a Nerazzurri jersey.

Among the photos that represent his time at Inter, the iconic free kick at the Santiago Bernabeu, just a few days after he arrived at Milano, remains etched into the memories of Interisti. It was truly a statement to the football world, the perfect blend of strength and character. His legendary left foot, trained since childhood with dedication and sacrifice, would become the hallmark of a striker who could light up San Siro.

Adriano scored 74 goals for Inter across all competitions, giving fans unforgettable moments. From the Derby won at the death with a decisive goal to the goal in the Coppa Italia against Roma, and the incredible solo run against Udinese, where he beat his opponents with technique and sheer physical power. These are the moments that the Nerazzurri fans will always remember.

On his 44th birthday, the whole Nerazzurri family wishes the Emperor Adriano all the best.
