Milan beat Inter, will play Coppa Italia final: USMNT star with chance at trophy, European qualification

AC Milan knocked out city rivals Inter from the Coppa Italia semifinals after winning 3-0 the second leg at San Siro Wednesday, meaning the Rossoneri will play the Coppa Italia final on May 14 (live on Paramount) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome against the winners of the other semifinal between Bologna and Empoli. 

AC Milan managed to finish the 2024-25 season unbeaten against the current Serie A leaders despite the disappointing season. Winning the Coppa Italia is currently the best chance the Rossoneri have to play European soccer next season. Coach Sergio Conceicao’s side, ninth in the Serie A table, have no chances to qualify for Champions League soccer with a nine-point margin with five Serie A games left before the end of the current spell, but Christian Pulisic’s team will play Europa League group stages if they manage to win their second trophy of the season, after winning the Supercoppa Italiana in the 3-2 comeback final against the same Inter.
