Inter Milan secured a historic double on Wednesday night, defeating Lazio 2-0 in a record-breaking Coppa Italia final that saw both clubs walk away with substantial prize money. The victory, fueled by an Adam Marusic own goal and a clinical strike from Lautaro Martinez, marked Inter's 10th Coppa Italia title and placed head coach Cristian Chivu in an elite group of managers who have won the double in their debut full season.
The final at Rome's Stadio Olimpico was a tale of two records. On one hand, it shattered attendance revenue benchmarks, generating an impressive €5,636,918.50 in gate receipts—the highest ever for a Coppa Italia final. On the other hand, television viewership hit a new low, becoming the least-watched final since the competition switched to a single-leg format in 2008.
For Inter, the financial rewards were as sweet as the trophy lift. The Nerazzurri earned a total of €7.1 million from their 2025-26 Coppa Italia campaign. This included a €4.4 million bonus for winning Wednesday's final, plus €1.5 million for reaching the semi-finals, €800,000 for the quarter-finals, and €400,000 for advancing past the round of 16.
Lazio, despite the heartbreak of defeat, still walked away with a healthy €4.6 million from the tournament. The Biancocelesti earned €1.9 million as losing finalists, alongside the same €1.5 million, €800,000, and €400,000 increments for their earlier-round successes.
Both clubs also stand to receive additional revenue from television rights for the final, though the exact figures remain unconfirmed and are expected to be finalized after the 2025-26 season concludes. For fans and collectors alike, this final serves as a reminder that in modern football, success on the pitch often translates into significant financial gains—and for Inter, it's a double worth celebrating in style.
