Milan advances to the Italian Cup final, secured by Jovic's double in the derby victory.
A Smashing Victory for AC Milan in the Derby!
In a thrilling Coppa Italia semifinal derby, AC Milan dominated Inter Milan, securing a resounding 3-0 win at the San Siro. This stunning performance by the Rossoneri effectively ended Inter's hopes of bagging the treble, a feat last achieved by them in 2010 under José Mourinho.
Luka Jovic was the star of the show, scoring a brace, while Tijjani Reijnders added the icing on the cake with a well-executed goal. This emphatic victory propelled AC Milan into the Italian Cup final, where they're likely to face Bologna, currently leading Empoli by 3-0 in their semifinal matchup.
The first half of the derby saw Milan snatching the lead when Jovic put a thumping header on a cross by Alex Jimenez. The second half witnessed another Jovic goal and a clincher from Reijnders, making it a 4-1 aggregate advantage for the Rossoneri.
Inter, disappointed with their performance, resorted to making several substitutions to no avail. Conversely, AC Milan's victory provides a much-needed boost for their season, which has been rather challenging so far.
The loss to Milan puts Inter in a difficult position, as they're now on par with Napoli at the top of Serie A. With a packed and challenging run-in, Inter's players will have to dig deep, focusing on securing domestic and international success elsewhere. Their next clash is against Roma at the San Siro, followed by a potentially career-defining Champions League semifinal against Barcelona.
Milan's fans, on the other hand, can look forward to cheering for their team in the Italian Cup final, a small victory in an otherwise tough season. Let's see if AC Milan can make it a successful double with a cup win, securing them a spot in the Europa League. Here's to a great finish to what has been an intriguing season of football!
The thrilling victory over Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia semifinal derby has propelled AC Milan towards the Italian Cup final in 2025, potentially facing Bologna.
