Inter Milan has achieved a remarkable domestic double this season, adding the Coppa Italia trophy to their Serie A title. They triumphed over Lazio with a 2-0 victory in the final, thanks to an own goal by Adam Marusic and a strike from Lautaro Martinez.
The two teams had faced each other in Serie A just the week prior, with Inter emerging as 3-0 winners. However, this Coppa Italia final carried the weight of silverware. Despite the Stadio Olimpico technically being a neutral venue, Lazio’s supporters returned after a period of boycotting matches. For Inter, this win cemented their domestic dominance, while Lazio aimed for a victory to secure a Europa League spot.
Inter’s lineup saw Marcus Thuram available despite a minor muscular issue. Lazio, on the other hand, dealt with injuries to Ivan Provedel and players not fully fit, but welcomed back Mattia Zaccagni and Nuno Tavares. Manager Maurizio Sarri was absent due to a touchline ban, with his assistant Marco Ianni overseeing the team from the bench.
The opening goal came in the 14th minute through an unfortunate own goal by Lazio’s Adam Marusic, who deflected a corner into his own net. Inter doubled their lead in the 35th minute when Denzel Dumfries dispossessed Nuno Tavares and set up Lautaro Martinez for a simple tap-in.
Despite efforts from both sides in the second half, including a penalty appeal from Lazio and several near misses, Inter’s defense held firm. A late chance for Piotr Zielinski to extend Inter’s lead went begging as he fired wide of an open goal.
This victory marks Inter Milan’s 10th Coppa Italia title, their first since 2023, and they are set to celebrate this achievement with their fans in an open-top bus parade.
