Ferentina could not win the Italian Cup final against Inter Milan. Inter Milan became the champion for the second time in a row after defeating Fiorentina 2-1 thanks to the double goal of Argentine star Enzo Martinez. Meanwhile, Nicolas Gonzalez scored the only goal for Fiorentina.
With this, Inter showed the achievement of winning the ninth title of the Italian Cup with Roma. Only Juventus are ahead of them in this list with 14 titles.
“I’m really happy,” Martinez, a member of the team that won Serie A in 2021 and last year’s Italian, said after the match. Because for the last two years I have been winning titles for this wonderful club. This is how we need to maintain continuity. We entered the field with the aim of winning another title. We played badly in the first 15 minutes. But then I got the rhythm back.’
Six-time winners Fiorentina have not won a title since 2001. But they still have a chance to win the Europa Conference League title. West Ham will be their opponent in the final on June 7 in Prague. Three days later, Premier League winners Manchester City will face Manchester City in the Champions League final in Istanbul.
Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano said, ‘We have to energize ourselves before the match in Prague. Before going there, we have to change our mentality, there is no alternative to the title.’
