The victory came early Thursday morning, April 24, 2025, and ensured Milan’s progression to the Coppa Italia final, where they will face either Bologna or Empoli. The win also completed a remarkable five-match unbeaten streak against Inter this season.
Luka Jovic played a pivotal role, scoring two crucial goals, while Tijjani Reijnders sealed the win with a third goal in the 85th minute. With this victory, Milan booked their place in the final and added another impressive chapter to their season.
From the very start, Conceicao had a strong sense that his team could overcome Inter. This belief had been building since Milan’s match against Atalanta, where the team had shown signs of improvement. The Portuguese coach’s faith in his players proved to be correct, culminating in a sweet and deserved victory.
The Secret Behind the Dominant Win Over Inter
Conceicao revealed that the secret to their victory over Inter lay in the small but significant details. He praised the team’s attitude and unity, both in defense and attack. While Milan faced some early challenges, they managed to regroup, regain composure, and ultimately score the decisive goals.
In the second half, Milan’s performance improved significantly. The team demonstrated not only their quality but also their humility and strong desire to win. This reflected the hard work and cohesion within the squad, which translated into a thoroughly deserved result.
“I had a feeling we could handle Inter from the moment we played Atalanta,” Conceicao said to SBOTOP after the match. “Those small details really matter. I’m pleased with the team’s attitude and unity, both in defense and attack. We struggled a bit in the early minutes, but we managed to score. We соrrесtеd ѕоmе thіngѕ іn the first half аnd thеn рlауеd еxсеllеntlу in thе second half. This team has quality, but it also possesses humility and the desire to win every match.”
AC Milan Focused on the Final
Although AC Milan advanced to the final, Conceicao remained grounded. He acknowledged that Milan had not won anything yet and that they still had to fight hard in the final, whether against Bologna or Empoli. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and improving their performance in the remaining Serie A matches.
“I am a fan of this sport. I suffer more than others. I bring football home with me, so my wife will also be happy with this result,” Conceicao said with a smile.
“We keep our feet on the ground. We haven’t won anything yet. We need to focus on the final and make the difference in the final stretch of the league to improve our image. We have quality, but we haven’t shown it consistently, and now is the time to bring out the best in us.”
As Milan prepares for their final against either Bologna or Empoli. The team and their coach know that the hard work is far from over. With Conceicao’s leadership, Milan has the chance to make a significant mark this season and secure silverware that can elevate the club to new heights.
Looking ahead, the Rossoneri will focus on maintaining their momentum. And ensuring that their quality shines through in the crucial matches that remain in the Serie A and Coppa Italia. Their determination, unity, and belief in each other have set the foundation for what could be a successful conclusion to their campaign.
