"Inter arrived in Rome with the confidence of Serie A champions and departed with silverware secured, sealing a 2-0 victory that confirmed a domestic double of considerable prestige."
"From the outset, Inter imposed themselves with the calm authority of a team accustomed to winning. Their pressing disrupted Lazio's rhythm, forcing hurried decisions and limiting any sustained buildup. The breakthrough came early and, fittingly, through pressure rather than pure invention. A Dimarco corner caused problems at the near post, and Marušić, under duress, headed into his own net to hand Inter the lead."
"Both sides approached the final with clear priorities and notable limitations. Lazio, set up in a 4-3-3, relied on Edoardo Motta in goal, with a back line of Adam Marušić, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli and Nuno Tavares. Their midfield trio of Toma Bašić, Patric and Kenneth Taylor supported an attacking line featuring Gustav Isaksen, Tijjani Noslin and Mattia Zaccagni, who returned to fitness in time for the final."
"Inter deployed their familiar 3-5-2, with Josep Martínez between the posts and a defense of Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni. The midfield, anchored by Nicolò Barella, Piotr Zieliński and Petar Sučić, was flanked by Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco, while Lautaro Martínez partnered Marcus Thuram in attack."
Inter Milan dominated the Coppa Italia final against Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, winning 2-0 to secure a domestic double. Inter arrived as Serie A champions and played with calm authority, using high pressing to disrupt Lazio’s rhythm and limit sustained buildup. Lazio’s early setback came when a Dimarco corner led to trouble at the near post, and Adam Marušić headed into his own net under pressure. Inter maintained the same tempo, continuing to press and control key moments. Lazio lacked Ivan Provedel and several players were not fully fit, while Inter missed Hakan Çalhanoğlu but had Lautaro Martínez available after recovering in time. The match reflected control and inevitability rather than late reversals.
