Inter Milan Secure Historic Domestic Double with Coppa Italia Triumph
Inter Milan completed a dominant domestic campaign on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, capturing the Coppa Italia with a 2-0 victory over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The win secures the club’s 10th Coppa Italia title and marks their first time claiming the trophy since 2023.
The victory is particularly significant as it seals a domestic double—winning both the league and the cup—for the first time in 16 years. The Nerazzurri had already clinched their 21st Serie A title earlier this month, wrapping up the league race with three matches remaining.
Inter took control of the final early in the first half. In the 14th minute, Adam Marusic misjudged a corner, inadvertently heading the ball into his own net to give Inter a 1-0 lead. The advantage was doubled ten minutes before the halftime whistle when Lautaro Martinez tapped in a low cross from Marcus Thuram. The goal marked Martinez’s 22nd strike of the season, effectively putting the match out of reach for Lazio.
This triumph marks a full-circle moment for manager Cristian Chivu. In his first season in charge at the San Siro, Chivu has led the team to the same heights he experienced as a player during Jose Mourinho’s treble-winning campaign in 2010, which was the last time the club achieved a domestic double.
Reflecting on the achievement, Chivu stated, “Winning the league and cup is never something you can take for granted. We’re remarkably happy.”
By claiming their 10th cup title, Inter Milan reaffirms their status as a powerhouse in Italian football, capping off a season of absolute domestic supremacy. For more details on the victory, you can view the Italian Cup win.
