In the latest Inter vs Milan showdown, AC Milan blew away city rivals Inter Milan with a commanding 3-0 victory at the San Siro, overturning a 1-1 first-leg draw to advance 4-1 on aggregate into the Coppa Italia final. Twice on target, Luka Jović was the architect of Milan’s triumph, demonstrating why the Rossoneri remain a force in knockout competitions despite a challenging Serie A campaign.
Inter vs Milan: Jović Sparks Milan’s Cup Charge
The derby began with Inter pressing hard for an early breakthrough. Federico Dimarco rattled the crossbar in the 23rd minute, signaling Nerazzurri intent. Yet nine minutes before halftime, Milan capitalized on their first real opening. Álex Jiménez whipped in a precise cross, and Jović powered a header past the keeper to give the Rossoneri the lead.
Just four minutes after the restart, Jović was at it again. A corner broke to the far post, and the Serbian striker battled his way through two defenders to fire home from close range. The derby decibel meter hit fever pitch, and Milan’s grip on the tie was absolute. In the 85th minute, substitute Tijjani Reijnders capped off a slick team move with a cool finish from an acute angle to seal the 3-0 victory.

AC Milan’s coach Sérgio Conceição praised the character displayed by his side after a difficult season. “We are not that good in Serie A,” Jović admitted, “but today we showed our quality and character. Now we go to Rome.” Reijnders echoed that belief: “If we play like this, we can win this trophy—and it’s the fastest way back into Europe.”
This derby win marks Milan’s third success over Inter this season, following victories in the Italian Super Cup final and a league fixture. Conversely, the result compounds Inter’s woes: the Serie A leaders have now lost consecutive matches, including a 1-0 defeat at Bologna last weekend. Despite topping the league, Simone Inzaghi’s side must now regroup quickly ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.
