Player Performances
Inter Milan
Inter’s players struggled to make an impact, with most receiving below-average ratings. Yann Bisseck stood out as their best performer, showcasing strong defensive skills despite the team’s overall poor showing. Kristjan Asllani and Matteo Darmian were particularly disappointing, failing to provide the necessary midfield control and defensive stability.
AC Milan
Luka Jovic was the star for Milan, earning the highest rating with his clinical finishing and improved link-up play. The Serbian striker’s brace proved decisive in tilting the match in Milan’s favor. However, Rafael Leão had an unusually quiet game, despite his team’s dominant performance.
Managerial Impact
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi faced criticism for his team’s lackluster performance and inability to respond to Milan’s pressure. In contrast, Milan’s Sergio Conceiçao received praise for maintaining the team’s focus and securing another potential trophy amidst a turbulent season.
This victory not only secures Milan’s place in the Coppa Italia final but also continues their impressive run against Inter, further solidifying their dominance in recent Milan derbies.
