Inter punched their tickets to the Coppa Italia final by besting Juventus one-nil Wednesday night, prevailing two-one on aggregate after the initial draw at the Stadium a few weeks back. It’s a historic achievement for the Nerazzurri. They had never managed to eliminate their archrivals at this point of the competition, AGI informs.
The Bianconeri and La Beneamata had squared off in the semifinals five times before the season. The Old Lady had come out on top in every instance: in 1938, 1983, 2004, 2004, 2016, and finally 2021. The Milan-based club will have the chance to conquer the domestic cup for the second time in a row and ninth overall. They will face either Fiorentina or Cremonese. The Viola built a commanding lead in the away fixture. In addition, they were the first to qualify for the new four-team Supercoppa.
Inter stars Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu left Wednesday’s game a little early due to thigh problems, but their situations aren’t concerning. Coach Simone Inzaghi provided an update in his post-game remarks to SportMediaset.
“It looks like they are both okay. They were fatigued, but the doctor reassured me. They’ll be monitored in the next 24 hours, but they should be available against Lazio Sunday.”
The coach silenced the doubts about his Inter future, at least for the time being, thanks to his success in the cups.
“There are 10 games left, maybe 11. We shouldn’t forget that we reached the fourth final since I came here. We are happy to be able to compete for trophies in important stadiums.”
