One of the greatest strikers of all time, Giuseppe Meazza started his career with Inter at youth level before joining their senior team.
He went on to create an unmatched legacy at the club, making 348 appearances, scoring 240 goals and winning three Serie A titles and a Coppa Italia.
The two-time World Cup winner (1934 and 1938) left Inter after 13 years and joined arch-rivals Milan in 1940.
After two seasons with Milan, where he scored nine goals in 37 games, Meazza moved to Juventus in 1942, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. He played for a couple of other clubs before returning to and retiring at Inter Milan in 1946 and completing his incredible career's full circle!
Meazza created such incredible history in Italian football that Inter and Milan named the San Siro after him, which is remarkable!
GoalAlessandro Altobelli
World Cup winner with Italy in 1982, Alessandro Altobelli was one of the greatest goalscorers in the world in the late 1970s and 1980s.
He joined Inter in 1977, and over the next 11 years, he made 317 appearances for them, scoring 128 goals.
After winning the Serie A title and two Coppa Italia crowns in his time in Milan, Altobelli joined Juventus in 1988. He only played one season in Turin, scoring four goals in 20 appearances before moving to Brescia.
An interesting fact about him is that after his footballing days were over, he played Beach Football and was the top scorer in the 1995 and 1996 Beach Soccer World Cup tournaments for Italy.

While many remember Roberto Baggio for his infamous penalty miss at the 1994 World Cup final, he is much more than just that.
After quite a controversial move from Fiorentina to Juventus in 1990, he won back-to-back league titles with them, scoring 78 goals in 141 appearances in five years. For his incredible performances, the prolific forward even won the Ballon d'Or in 1993.
Baggio joined Milan in 1995 and won back-to-back league titles in his two seasons at the club. He scored 12 goals in 51 appearances in Milan. Later when Fabio Capello did not wish to have him in his plans for the club, he joined Bologna in 1997.
The Italian then joined Inter in 1998, scoring 11 goals in 42 games before going on to end his career at Brescia between 2000 and 2004.
