In one of the fiercest rivalries in world football, AC Milan produced a masterclass to humble Inter Milan 3-0 in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, securing their spot in the final with a stunning all-around display. Luka Jović stole the show, scoring twice as the Rossoneri secured their third consecutive win against Inter this season.
With their season on the ropes domestically, Milan’s display offered fans hope of silverware and revenge over a city rival still chasing dreams of a treble – dreams that were emphatically shattered at San Siro.
Inter Start Strong, but Milan Strike First
Despite being the more threatening side in the opening minutes, Inter Milan failed to capitalize on their dominance. Matteo Darmian and Federico Dimarco both came close, the latter rattling the crossbar in a warning shot that Milan would soon turn on its head.
As the half wore on, Milan began to gain control in midfield, stifling Inter’s creative flow. And in the 36th minute, their persistence paid off. Tijjani Reijnders’ composed buildup ended with Álex Jiménez floating in a cross, and Jović’s towering header left Josep Martínez helpless. A single blow, but it stunned the blue half of Milan.
Ruthless Rossoneri Punish Inter’s Misses
The second half had barely begun when Jović struck again. A scrambled corner saw the ball bounce off Nicolò Barella and fall kindly for the Serbian striker, who poked in his second of the evening from close range.
Simone Inzaghi responded with a flurry of substitutions, trying to reignite his side’s fight, but the Nerazzurri lacked the spark to mount a comeback. Even a powerful Stefan de Vrij header was met by the ever-alert Mike Maignan, who proved unbreachable.
Reijnders Ices It, Milan March On
Milan wasn’t done. A lightning-fast counterattack in the dying moments saw Rafael Leão split open Inter’s high line, releasing Reijnders, who coolly finished under the keeper to make it 3-0. The red half of San Siro erupted as their side booked a place at the Stadio Olimpico final, where they’ll face either Empoli or Bologna.
This was more than a victory – it was a statement.
Inter’s Treble Hopes Crushed
For Inter, this result is a wake-up call. With the Serie A title race intensifying and a UEFA Champions League semi-final against Barcelona looming, they must regroup quickly. Defeats to Cagliari and now Milan raise concerns about momentum slipping at the worst possible time.
With tricky matches ahead, including a visit to high-flying AS Roma, Inzaghi’s side will need to find answers fast.
Milan’s Road to Redemption
It’s been a mixed campaign for the Rossoneri, but this performance reignites belief. After already lifting the Supercoppa Italiana, a Coppa Italia trophy would provide a cushion for a disappointing league season and offer fans renewed optimism.
For Tanzanian fans following European football passionately, this Milan-Inter clash was a perfect reminder that form goes out the window in a derby—and that glory comes to those who rise in the big moments.
