Sports football

AC Milan are heading to the Coppa Italia final, and they have Luka Jović to thank for it. The Serbian forward silenced critics and sent the red half of Milan into a frenzy with two clinical goals in a fiery Derby della Madonnina clash that saw AC Milan beat bitter rivals Inter 2-1 at a raucous San Siro. In a game brimming with tension, tackles, and title implications, it was Jović who rose above the rest delivering a performance for the ages to book Milan’s spot in the final and etch his name into derby folklore.

Jović Finds His Moment

Often seen as a fringe figure in Milan's star-studded attack, Jović turned the script on its head with a display of pure poise and precision. His first goal came in the 27th minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from Inter and slotting the ball past a stunned Sommer. Then, just after the hour mark, he struck again with a thundering header, sending the Milan fans into delirium. Inter clawed one back through Lautaro Martínez in the dying minutes, but it wasn’t enough. AC Milan held firm, sparked by Jović’s brilliance and backed by a dominant midfield display led by Sandro Tonali and Ismaël Bennacer.

Rossoneri Rise, Nerazzurri Left Reeling

This victory is more than just a win it’s a statement of resurgence for Stefano Pioli’s side, who now stand one match away from silverware. For Inter, it’s a bitter blow that adds pressure to their domestic campaign and raises questions about Simone Inzaghi’s tactical setup in crucial matches.

Coppa Italia Final Beckons

With their place in the final secured, Milan now eyes their first Coppa Italia triumph since 2003. The win breathes new life into their season, reigniting belief in a trophy-laden finish and giving fans reason to dream once again.

Luka Jović: From Doubt to Derby Legend

Once seen as a forgotten man, Jović’s performance will go down as one of the defining derby moments of the modern era. If he was searching for redemption, he found it on the biggest of stages. "This is what I came here for," Jović told reporters post-match. "To help this club win, and to prove I belong."
