"Winning the league and the Coppa Italia is not something you can take for granted. - Cristian Chivu"

Rome, May 14

Inter Milan have won their tenth Coppa Italia with a 2-0 win over Lazio,a stunning triumph that completes a historic domestic double, having already secured their 21st Serie A title earlier in May with three rounds to spare.

Inter broke the deadlock in the 14th minute when Marcus Thuram's header from a Federico Dimarco corner took a deflection off Lazio player Adam Marusic and went into the net.

The Nerazzurri doubled the lead in the 35th minute when Denzel Dumfries broke into the box and squared for Lautaro Martinez to tap into an empty net

After the final against Lazio, Inter manager Cristian Chivu shared his emotions in the post-match interviews.

"Inter have won two trophies this season, and we deserved it because we had a strong campaign. We're happy for ourselves, for everything we've achieved and everything we've come through over these years. We're glad to have these incredible fans too and for the club, which has always supported us.

"We're going to enjoy everything we accomplished this season. Winning the league and the Coppa Italia is not something you can take for granted, lifting two trophies is never easy."

Lautaro Martinez added, "For us this is a very important and meaningful victory, it was not easy to bounce back after last year. We managed to put together a truly important season in terms of play, intensity, performances and results. I am happy because we are finishing the year with two trophies, it has been really important for us.

"There is always a lot of talk about Inter for everything we have been doing in recent years, but we must continue down this road to win titles because that is what we want: this season we have won two and we are truly delighted."

As a neutral fan, I have to appreciate Inter's consistency. Dominating two domestic trophies in one season is tough anywhere. The Thuram goal with deflection showed some luck but Martinez's finish was pure class. Happy for the fans who waited years for this dominance.

Inter Milan doing double is big news even in India! 🇮🇳⚽ So many of us watch Serie A on Sports18. Chivu deserves huge credit - he took over after Conte left and has kept the team winning. The defensive solidity is back. Forza Inter! 🎉

Respect to Inter but let's be real - Lazio didn't show up in the final. The 2-0 scoreline flattered them a bit. Still, you can only beat what's in front of you. Lautaro is world-class and Dimarco's delivery from set pieces is underrated globally. Well done.

Indian Inter fan here from Bangalore! 🇮🇳❤️🖤 This double feels extra special because we bounced back after last season's disappointment. Thuram was a smart signing and Dumfries is so underrated. The fans support has been incredible through the years. Now bring on the Champions League next season! 🏆🎉

While the double is impressive, I think we need to keep perspective. Serie A lacks the depth it once had. Inter have been the big fish in a small pond this season. But full credit to Chivu for managing egos and getting results when it matters. The real test will be in Europe next year.
