The Inter wanted the hat -trick. Milan offered him a slap, scathing, unexpected, almost cruel. To everyone's surprise, the Rossoneri ripped off their ticket for the final of the Italian Cup by winning 3-0 when returning to San Siro, sweeping the designated favorite and throwing a serious cold on the dreams of grandeur Nerazzurri.
Jovic, forgotten hero who became an executioner
We had almost forgotten it. Luka Jovic, the Serbian striker with a snoring CV but with discreet statistics, chose his evening. Two goals, a opportunistic double to put an inter -depth on the ground. In the 36th minute, it rises in the surface and catapult of the head a precise center of Alejandro Jiménez. Then, in the 51st, he took advantage of a shell on a corner to push the ball to the bottom, in a stadium shared between stupor and euphoria.
Milan was the hair of Inter of Inter this season.
Inter, off topic
Inter reaction? Too weak. Too late. Already in difficulty in the championship, the men of Inzaghi confirmed that they raised their foots to the worst moment of the season. A floating strike from Mkhitaryan in the 43rd, two shots by Lautaro Martinez without biting, a head of Vrij well captured by Maignan (68th) … That's all that the Nerazzurri knew how to offer to their audience. Like their performance against Bologna last weekend, the Inter died without real revolt. At the end of the meeting, the Italian champions even ended up drowning, with a third goal signed Tijjani Reijnders conceded in the 86th at the end of a remarkable collective action of their opponents.
Milan saves his season
Opposite, Milan has not mastered everything, but Milan gave everything. In a galley season, the men of Sergio Conceição, former of Inter, finally find a reason of pride. This qualification changes everything: it offers them a final, a chance of trophy, a door to Europe. And above all, a magnificent snub to their hated rival. If, as expected, Bologna confirms its broad advantage against Empoli on Thursday, it is an unprecedented final that is looming. For Milan, the time is for reconquest.
