Inter Milan clinched an Italian double on Wednesday, beating Lazio 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico. Federico Dimarco’s corner forced an own‑goal from Adam Marušić, while Denzel Dumfries set up captain Lautaro Martínez for a three‑yard tap‑in. The victory follows Inter’s Serie A crown secured with three games to spare.

Lazio’s misfortune proved decisive; Marušić’s own‑goal handed Inter the early lead, and a defensive lapse allowed Dumfries to steal the ball from Nuno Tavares before the decisive pass. Inter had already demonstrated superiority by thrashing Lazio 3-0 in the league a few days earlier, turning the cup tie into a familiar rehearsal.

By securing both trophies, Inter becomes the first Italian club since José Mourinho’s 2010 treble‑winning side to claim the league‑cup double. The achievement solidifies Stefano Pioli’s project and gives fans a season to remember, while Lazio must regroup after a weekend of squandered opportunities.

Inter’s double crowns a campaign built on defensive solidity and attacking flair, with Dumfries and Martínez delivering key contributions. Rival clubs now face a benchmark of consistency as they chase European spots, while Serie A’s marketability gains a boost from a dominant champion entering the Champions League with momentum.
