Inter Milan effectively cemented their status as Italy’s undisputed dominant force by defeating SS Lazio 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night.
Under the transformative leadership of manager Cristian Chivu, the Nerazzurri secured their 10th title in the competition, matching their historic 21st Serie A crown won earlier this month.
The breakthrough arrived in the 14th minute when Federico Dimarco’s wicked corner glanced off Marcus Thuram before Adam Marusic inadvertently diverted the ball into his own net.
Denzel Dumfries later turned architect, pickpocketing Nuno Tavares on the wing before squaring a precise pass for Lautaro Martinez to tap home a second before the interval.
This triumph marks Inter’s first domestic double since 2010, a feat previously achieved during the legendary treble-winning campaign under Jose Mourinho.
While Tijjani Noslin and Boulaye Dia threatened for the Biancocelesti in a more spirited second half, goalkeeper Josep Martínez stood firm to preserve the clean sheet.
For Lazio, the defeat compounds a dismal season characterized by fan protests against club ownership and a likely bottom-half finish in the league standings.
The victory ensures Chivu’s debut season as first-team coach ends in absolute triumph, firmly restoring the club to the pinnacle of Italian football.
