Inter dominate Lazio at the Olimpico to claim their tenth Coppa Italia, completing a historic double after their Scudetto triumph.
It was a night of unchallenged supremacy at the Olimpico as the Nerazzurri swept aside the Biancocelesti to lift their tenth Coppa Italia. Following their Scudetto success, Cristian Chivu capped a remarkable debut season as head coach with a historic double.
Inter were simply unstoppable. After cruising to the league title with record-breaking ease, the Nerazzurri completed their masterpiece in the iconic Stadio Olimpico. Chivu’s side outclassed Lazio, controlling a final that showcased their dominance throughout the campaign.
Thuram strikes, Marusic unlucky
Inter set the tone early. Lautaro Martinez tested Motta with a header from Barella’s pinpoint delivery, a warning of what was to come.
In the 15th minute, Inter’s relentless pressure paid off. Dimarco whipped in a perfect corner, and Marcus Thuram rose to meet it. A deflection off Adam Marusic proved decisive, sending the ball into the net for 1-0. Inter had the early breakthrough.
Tavares’ error, Lautaro pounces
Lazio tried to respond with a high press, but Inter’s defence stood firm, leaving Josep Martinez largely untested. After Dumfries came close to doubling the lead, the second goal arrived in the 35th minute. Tavares’ costly mistake allowed Dumfries to steal possession and set up Lautaro Martinez. The captain, unmarked in the box, calmly slotted home to make it 2-0, extinguishing Lazio’s hopes.

Martinez’s brilliance seals the win
Lazio showed some fight in the second half. Noslin came close with a shot that grazed the post, and Boulaye Dia had a golden opportunity to spark a comeback with 15 minutes remaining. However, Josep Martinez produced a stunning save with his face to deny Dia, a moment of brilliance that crushed Lazio’s last hopes.
The final whistle triggered jubilant celebrations: Inter secured their 10th Coppa Italia. Special praise goes to Cristian Chivu, who, in his first season as head coach, delivered two major trophies.
It was a season of total dominance, impeccable management, and a future brimming with promise. With this victory, Inter reached double digits in Coppa Italia titles, cementing their status as the undisputed kings of Italian football in 2026.
