Inter Milan turned their Serie A title celebrations into a commanding performance, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Lazio on Saturday in what served as a perfect warm-up for next week's Italian Cup final. The reigning champions looked sharp and focused, with Lautaro Martinez, Petar Sucic, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all finding the net at the Stadio Olimpico.

The win keeps Inter's hopes of a league and cup double alive, as they prepare to return to the same stadium on Wednesday night for the Coppa Italia final. With the Serie A title already secured, manager Simone Inzaghi's side is now eyeing silverware number two of the season.

Saturday's match unfolded in an unusual atmosphere, as the vast majority of Lazio supporters continued their months-long boycott of home games, protesting against owner Claudio Lotito's management of the club. The sparse crowd at the Stadio Olimpico was predominantly made up of Inter fans, who cheered their team to a comfortable victory in the Italian capital.

In a curious twist, hardcore supporters from both Lazio and Inter—who share a long-standing relationship, partly due to common political leanings—gathered together in the nearby Ponte Milvio neighborhood during the match, rather than inside the stadium.

With the win, Inter now sits 15 points clear of Napoli, who face Bologna on Monday night still fighting for a spot in next season's Champions League with just three matches remaining. The race for Europe's top club competition is heating up, with Juventus, Luciano Spalletti's team, Lecce, and fifth-placed Roma all jostling for position. Roma, resurgent under new management, travel to Parma on Sunday evening, while AC Milan—just three points ahead of the capital club in third—host Atalanta in a crucial clash.
