Inter Milan defeated Fiorentina 2-1 in the Coppa Italia final at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to a brace from Lautaro Martinez. Inter’s victory is their third in a row in the competition, adding to their great season under manager Simone Inzaghi.

Lautaro Martinez emerged as the hero in an exciting match between Inter Milan and Fiorentina, powering his club to victory with two key goals. Despite falling behind early on, Inter showed tenacity and resolve to win their eighth Coppa Italia.

Fiorentina’s quest for their first trophy since 2001 fell short as they were unable to maintain their lead against an assertive Inter Milan. Despite a valiant effort, Fiorentina will now shift their focus to the Europa Conference League final against West Ham United.

Martinez Inspires Inter Milan’s Comeback to Clinch Coppa Italia

Striker Lautaro Martinez was instrumental in Inter Milan’s triumph as his two goals overturned an early lead by Fiorentina. The manager made nine changes from their previous match, starting Romelu Lukaku on the bench and putting Samir Handanovic in goal. Meanwhile, Fiorentina took advantage of an early opportunity, with Nico Gonzales scoring following a wonderful cross from Jonathan Ikone.

Despite an early setback, Inter Milan eventually gathered momentum, and Edin Dzeko came close to equalising, only to be prevented by the intervention of Fiorentina’s goalkeeper. Inter boss Simone Inzaghi was pleased with his team’s ability to overcome a sluggish start and turn the game around.

Inter Milan’s victory in the Coppa Italia final caps off a fantastic season in which they have previously won the Italian Super Cup. In addition, the team is preparing for the forthcoming Champions League final versus Manchester City, which would be an incredible achievement for Inzaghi’s side.
