Inter Milan have completed a historic domestic double, adding the Coppa Italia to their Serie A title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Lazio in the final at the Stadio Olimpico. The win, sealed by an Adam Marusic own goal and a clinical finish from Lautaro Martinez, capped off a remarkable season for the Nerazzurri.
Playing on neutral ground in Rome, Inter wasted little time asserting their dominance. The breakthrough came from a Federico Dimarco corner when Marcus Thuram's glancing header deflected off Lazio defender Adam Marusic and into his own net. The early goal set the tone for a match that Inter controlled with confidence and composure.
Just minutes later, Inter doubled their lead through a moment of brilliance. Denzel Dumfries robbed Nuno Tavares near the penalty area and unselfishly squared the ball for Lautaro Martinez, who tapped home from close range. It was a textbook counter-attack that showcased Inter's lethal efficiency in front of goal.
The second half saw Lazio push for a comeback, but Inter's defense held firm. Piotr Zielinski tested Lazio goalkeeper Edoardo Motta with a low drive, while Gustav Isaksen's angled effort was deflected wide by Alessandro Bastoni. Despite the pressure, Inter remained composed and saw out the victory with relative ease.
For Inter, this double is a testament to their depth and tactical discipline under pressure. The team's ability to perform on both domestic fronts has solidified their status as one of Italy's elite clubs. For Lazio, the loss was a bitter pill to swallow, especially as they needed a win to secure Europa League qualification.
As the celebrations begin in the Inter camp, fans can look back on a season defined by resilience, teamwork, and a hunger for silverware. This victory not only adds another trophy to the cabinet but also sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting future for the Nerazzurri.
