AC Milan decisively ended Inter Milan’s pursuit of a historic treble this season with a commanding 3-0 victory in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg on Wednesday night at the iconic San Siro Stadium.
The first leg between the two fierce rivals had ended in a tightly contested 1-1 draw, setting the stage for a high-stakes rematch. However, it was Stefano Pioli’s Rossoneri who seized the moment, outshining their city counterparts to book a place in the final.
Serbian striker Luka Jović proved to be the hero of the night, scoring a brace in the 36th and 50th minutes, firmly placing AC Milan in the driver’s seat. Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders sealed the emphatic victory with a clinical strike in the 85th minute, ensuring Milan’s first Coppa Italia final appearance since 2018.
Milan will now await the winner between Bologna and Empoli in what promises to be a thrilling finale. The Rossoneri last lifted the prestigious Coppa Italia trophy during the 2002–03 campaign, and fans are hopeful this could be the season their silverware drought ends.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan, currently leading the Serie A table, will now divert their focus to an equally crucial Champions League semi-final showdown against FC Barcelona. Despite the domestic disappointment, Simone Inzaghi’s side still has significant opportunities to claim European glory.
This result not only reignites AC Milan’s ambition for silverware but also highlights the unpredictable nature of football’s knockout competitions.
