Inter Milan win Italian Cup to secure domestic double
Inter Milan won the Italian Cup on Wednesday after beating Lazio 2-0 and completing a domestic double alongside their 21st Serie A title. An Adam Marusic own goal and Lautaro Martinez's tap-in, both in the first half, gave Inter a victory in Rome and a 10th Cup triumph. Inter coach Cristian Chivu said, "We deserved the trophies after a good season," and "Winning the league and cup is never something you can take for granted. We're very happy."
For Lazio, it was another depressing note of a long, arduous season in which their hardcore supporters have boycotted home matches in protest at long-time owner Claudio Lotito's stewardship of the club. Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri said, "I'm disappointed for the boys, because morale is low at the moment, and for the fans who came back tonight, who came back in numbers tonight," and "Tonight we just came up against a better team than us." Lautaro Martinez pushed in his 22nd goal in all competitions this term.
Lazio's fans will again be absent from the stands at weekend for the Rome derby in which their hated local rivals Roma could take a big step towards the Champions League.
Quick Summary
Inter Milan and Lazio faced off in the Italian Cup final, a highly anticipated match to complete a domestic double. The match hints at the culmination of a season's worth of effort and the contrasting fortunes of both teams.
