It is a night without appeal, in an infinite challenge. Up for grabs is an Italian Cup final, but probably not only that. Inter-Milan, another chapter in the saga. In a San Siro that is finally packed and ready to roar, Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri are looking for a fundamental victory for the season. We need to win, because the 0-0 first leg (in the Italian Cup there is still the old rule on away goals) slightly favors Milan, who could be satisfied with even a draw with goals. Beppe Marotta, Nerazzurri CEO, spoke like this before the match at Mediaset:

“For us, the Coppa Italia has been missing for 11 years, so it’s right to try and win it back. Tonight is an important match against a strong team. An important match also for the championship? No, they will both fight to the end for the Scudetto. Summer of sacrifices on the market? We certainly had a very difficult year, overcome thanks to the strength of the club, the skill of the coach and the team, the support of the fans. All components that take the teams far beyond investment. For the big clubs today it is difficult to manage the season. Our period of crisis was linked to the competitive stress due to the many close matches, but also to the many commitments for the national teams. Lately this has failed, so it was easier to recover and we therefore resumed the great journey of the first round“.
