The league title is not being won this time, but there is hope for Inter Milan to win the treble. In January, AC Milan defeated them in the Italian Super Cup. Last night, Inter won the Italian Cup by defeating Fiorentina 2-1. After winning their second Italian Cup title, they are now aiming for the Champions League victory. If they can defeat Manchester City in the Champions League final on June 10, Inter will achieve the treble.

Inter's start at the Stadio Olimpico was not good. Just 3 minutes into the match, Fiorentina took the lead with a goal from Nico González, an Argentine forward who scored from Jonathan Ikone's cross. In the later part of the match, the other two goals were also scored by an Argentine, Lautaro Martínez. He scored the first goal in the first half. In the end, it was Martínez's goal that secured Inter their ninth Italian Cup title. Martínez has also achieved an incredible milestone with Inter. He has scored 101 goals for the club. In this season alone, he has scored 27 goals, which is his highest goal tally in a single season in his career. He has also risen to the Champions League final as an Argentine, following their victory in the World Cup. And yesterday, he won the Italian Cup.

Martinez is being hailed for his personal treble as well. Only time will tell if he can achieve it. Even though he is playing continuously for Inter this season, he has played in all 54 matches for the club. This victory in the Italian Cup is their ninth title, and they have surpassed Roma. Only Juventus has more titles (14) than them in the Italian Cup.

This is Fiorentina's first final against Inter in a major competition at home. In the match against Napoli, Inter's coach Simone Inzaghi made 9 changes in the starting lineup from the match they lost, which is the most changes made by a coach in his own last 7 finals.

Lautaro Martínez.


Fiorentina took the lead in the third minute. Gonzalo's shot from Giacomo Bonaventura's cross found the back of the net. This protected Argentine forward scored the second goal as well without any difficulty.

In the sixth minute, Inter had their first notable chance. Even from a good position, Edin Džeko missed the shot. Five minutes later, Jakub Błaszczykowski took a shot from a difficult position outside the box but couldn't keep it on target.

In the 24th minute, Džeko missed a great opportunity. He took the ball from Argentine striker Martínez and hit it outside the goal from a promising position. The whole season has been tough for him. In the 37th minute, Martínez overcame the goalkeeper with an acrobatic volley from Nicolò Barella's cross.

In the second half, Romelu Lukaku almost found the net with a powerful shot from the edge of the box. Fiorentina's goalkeeper managed to save his bullet-speed shot. Five minutes later, Inter's threat to the goal was stopped by the goalkeeper after González's shot. In the 77th minute, Fiorentina's Brazilian defender, Dalbert, made a fantastic slide tackle to deny Robin Gosens a clear shot on goal. Two minutes later, a powerful header from Martínez hit the goalpost. Inter's goalkeeper saved the threat from González's shot two minutes later.

Before the Champions League final, Inter will play this victory-boosting inspiration against. On June 10th, in Istanbul, they will face the challenge of becoming the best in Europe against Manchester City's formidable team.
