After six seasons in the Spanish league, Zamorano played four seasons in Serie A with Inter Milan, from 1996 to 2000, where he was teammates with Youri Djorkaeff, Diego Simeone, Javier Zanetti and Ronaldo, among others. He was initially the club's premier striker, playing with the number nine shirt. However, after Roberto Baggio's arrival at the club, Ronaldo was forced to give up number ten, and wear number nine according to the terms of a Nike sponsorship.{{Cite web |last=Márquez |first=Josué Padilla |date=2022-03-24 |title=Iván Zamorano, la verdadera historia por la que tuvo que portar la camiseta 1+8 en Inter de Milán |url=https://esto.com.mx/587439-ivan-zamorano-la-verdadera-historia-por-la-que-tuvo-que-portar-la-camiseta-18-en-inter-de-milan/ |access-date=2024-08-31 |website=ESTO |language=es}} Therefore Zamorano had to give up his number and chose number 18, adding a "+" to his shirt to create the equation '1+8', making him mathematically still a number 9 striker.{{cite news| title = Top 50 greatest Inter Milan players| first = Gabriele| last = Marcotti| url = http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/european_football/article5921988.ece| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090509074237/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/european_football/article5921988.ece| url-status = dead| archive-date = 9 May 2009| work = The Times| date = 31 March 2009| access-date = 11 February 2011}} In May 1998, Inter won the UEFA Cup after beating Lazio in the final 3–0, with Zamorano scoring the opening goal.{{cite news| title = Plus: Soccer — UEFA Cup; Inter Milan Tops Lazio for Title| url = https://www.nytimes.com/1998/05/07/sports/plus-soccer-uefa-cup-inter-milan-tops-lazio-for-title.html| work=The New York Times| date = 7 May 1998| access-date = 11 February 2011}} He had also scored in the second leg of the previous year's final, with the game going to penalties.{{cite news| title = Football: Ince and Hodgson suffer as Schalke lift UEFA Cup| url = https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-ince-and-hodgson-suffer-as-schalke-lift-uefa-cup-1262903.html| work = The Independent| date = 22 May 1997| access-date = 11 February 2011}} However, Zamorano missed his penalty as Inter lost the shootout to Schalke 04 4–1.
