Inter Milan’s Treble Dream Shattered as AC Milan Storm into Coppa Italia Final
The city of Milan witnessed another heated chapter in its legendary rivalry, but this time, AC Milan emerged emphatically victorious, dashing Inter Milan’s hopes of a treble this season with a dominant 3-0 win in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg.
After a closely contested 1-1 draw in the first leg, many expected a tight finish at the San Siro. But what followed was a Rossoneri masterclass that left Inter stunned and their ambitions in ruins.
⚽ Milan’s Red Wave: Jovic & Reijnders Seal It
Luka Jovic was the man of the moment, netting twice in the 36th and 50th minutes, showcasing a sharpness that has eluded him for much of the season.
The final blow came from Tijani Reijnders, whose 85th-minute strike sealed a glorious night for Milan fans, sending them into their first Coppa Italia final since 2018—a stage they haven't won since 2003.
Now, they await the winner of Bologna vs. Empoli for what promises to be a grand finale.
🗣️ Opinion: The Red Side Rules—For Now
While Simone Inzaghi’s Inter are still top of Serie A and on course for a mouthwatering Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, this defeat is a reality check.
Derby losses hurt—but derby knockouts? They sting for a long time.
AC Milan played with more urgency, more fire, and more unity. Jovic's resurgence couldn't have come at a better time, and with this momentum, Pioli's men could very well rewrite the narrative of this season.
👀 What’s Next?
For Inter, it’s back to the grind: protect the top spot in Serie A and brace up for the European showdown with Barça.
For Milan? All eyes on Coppa glory—and maybe even a strong finish in the league.
