Inter Milan and Lazio have booked their places in the 2026 Coppa Italia final, setting the stage for a heavyweight clash at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico on May 13.
The Nerazzurri reached their 16th final after a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over Como at San Siro, overturning a two-goal deficit to win on aggregate following a scoreless first leg.
Simone Inzaghi’s side, currently nine points clear at the top of Serie A, are now chasing a historic domestic double—a feat they have only achieved once before during their 2010 Treble campaign.
Lazio’s path to the final was even more dramatic, as they relied on the extraordinary heroics of 21-year-old goalkeeper Edoardo Motta in a penalty shootout against Atalanta.
Motta, a January signing who was forced into action following Ivan Provedel’s serious injury, saved four consecutive spot-kicks to secure a 2-1 shootout win after the tie ended 3-3 on aggregate.
Despite the final technically being neutral territory, the “Biancocelesti” will effectively be playing on home soil at the Olimpico as they search for their eighth Coppa Italia title.
Inter, nine-time winners, will look to reclaim the trophy they last lifted in 2023, while Lazio aim for their first cup success since defeating Atalanta in 2019.
With both teams in formidable cup form, the final promises a tactical duel between an Inter side eyeing dominance and a resilient Lazio squad powered by a new goalkeeping star.
