Lautaro Martinez scored twice as Champions League finalists Inter Milan came from behind to beat Fiorentina 2-1 and retain their Italian Cup title on Wednesday

Lautaro Martinez scored twice as Champions League finalists Inter Milan came from behind to beat Fiorentina 2-1 and retain their Italian Cup title on Wednesday. Nicolas Gonzalez gave Fiorentina an early lead at the Stadio Olimpico, but Martinez drilled Inter level and then volleyed in the winner before half-time for Simone Inzaghi’s team. Inter’s ninth Italian Cup triumph moved them level with Roma. Only Juventus, with 14 titles, have lifted the trophy more often. “I’m so happy because we’ve been winning trophies with this great club the past two years,” Martinez, who also helped Inter win Serie A in 2021 and last year’s Italian Cup, told Mediaset. “We have to keep going like that. We really wanted to lift another cup tonight. We started badly in the first 15 minutes but then we did what we should have done from the beginning.” Six-time winners Fiorentina were denied a first trophy since 2001, but the club could still end the season with silverware having reached the final of the Europa Conference League. They face West Ham in Prague on June 7, three days before Inter take on Premier League champions Manchester City in the Champions League final in Istanbul. “We have to recharge our batteries for Prague. We have to go there together convinced that we can bring the trophy home and get our revenge,” said Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano. Fiorentina, the first club to reach the final of four different major European competitions, made a dream start in Rome as Gonzalez turned in Jonathan Ikone’s threaded cross at the far post. Sofyan Amrabat rolled an effort wide from the edge of the area as Fiorentina threatened a second, with Inter striker Edin Dzeko scooping over after he was played in by Martinez. The Argentine forward made no such mistake after Marcelo Brozovic slipped him through on 29 minutes, hammering low into the corner past Pietro Terracciano for his 100th goal in Inter colours. Martinez struck again eight minutes later as he lashed in Nicolo Barella’s hooked delivery from the right. Fiorentina, who overcame Basel in the final seconds of extra time last week in Europe, pushed until the end with Luka Jovic twice going close. The Serbian striker was denied by a fantastic stop from veteran Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic before heading another chance narrowly wide. https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222443 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222444 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222445 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222446 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222447 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222448 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222449 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222450 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222451 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222453 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222454 https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/eP/presentations/presentation_preview_popup.d2l?presId=222455 https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/2f850a4a-58bb-4768-b484-a1af9564c630 https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/0e3a2952-7ce2-4d30-93a2-5be5eb1b233c https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/e518f4b0-e6bd-48ea-88db-a557e241d4e8 https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/7d5cfbf9-6f3d-461e-a4f8-e03f2fc37efb https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/92709ecf-a971-426f-813d-1ee99b7e038f https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/52b431d5-1677-47cc-bfc7-55102652765f https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/b1088ec6-fe48-4a37-90c3-9e86213aaa23 https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/04520aae-fb80-4ef4-b5e7-3fd88d47681e https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/e5c27232-e060-441a-a7bc-1a0bc965d9cc https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/a916f4d9-3688-4ead-a385-e4a6efa37157 https://jsbin.com/fozibihonu/edit?html,output https://jsfiddle.net/k9rfwjtn/ https://challonge.com/hh9odox1 https://www.vingle.net/posts/5921023 https://sway.office.com/YJskvm1SNDizcc9f https://telegra.ph/ddssd-dfs-dds-dsdsf-dsf-dsf-dfsdfsfds-05-25 https://community.gaeamobile.com/forum/dragons-of-atlantis-heirs-of-the-dragon/general-discussion-ac/879526-sdfdsf-d-dsf-sdfdsf-dsf-dfdfs-dfs-dfsdfsdfs https://www.thebeachlittlehampton.co.uk/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/c1c94083-d2b7-4e30-acc3-774e9f00aa77 https://www.eagleportland.com/group/mysite-231-group/discussion/9e005d2c-404e-45f4-ab51-4f9c03455d7f https://www.adoptaboston.com/group/mysite-200-group/discussion/9907bdc4-1f72-47ca-8e71-a164159b21e5 https://paiza.io/projects/ZVyHjIVF5M4ZC9oPdwjgdQ https://rextester.com/BIHR17806 https://pastebin.com/SfiE8Kub https://sharetext.me/pejypbhamj https://0paste.com/463084 https://pastelink.net/jdcjy4pr https://jsitor.com/otqvxLMvgv https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/38b5d838bc0bd05f65a477717dd07d53b6507e7cbaae14630dd1204d8986ddae https://dev.bukkit.org/paste/753fbb9e https://www.bankier.pl/forum/temat_sdffds-fdsfds-fsd-fdssd-fdfsfdsfdfdsd-ffdsfdsdfs-dfsdf-dsfdfs,60730723.html https://rentry.co/knyf2 https://paste.thezomg.com/166675/68505001/ https://paste.chapril.org/?62373a575ae2363e#9bnQM5L8oyEVtVZAwUymhQM7wTjw5b2JQNu8SamJqiXK https://pasteio.com/x7EdS0CZEVUl https://glot.io/snippets/glatb08zbr https://justpaste.me/2IUp1 https://foorum.naistekas.delfi.ee/list.php?28 https://paste.drhack.net/?d66b2219c1a073ca#9pYmZGtuQ9jLnQteTSf7qQgYyUHPTJxKAMqtK1wyXxDh https://codepen.io/migztce/pen/vYVPaxP https://etextpad.com/wu1vwzymgh http://pastie.org/p/2gdLkNgUjcsVnogJL9hUfs https://jsbin.com/zayabopesu/edit?html,css,js,output Gonzalez nearly forced extra time after bursting into the box and looping a header over Handanovic after his shot was blocked, but Matteo Darmian headed to safety as Inter clung on for victory.
