Inter Milan maintained its push for a trio of trophies as it beat Juventus 1-0 on Wednesday to reach its second straight Italian Cup final.
Federico Dimarco scored the only goal of the match to help defending champions, Inter advance 2-1 on aggregate. The Nerazzurri will play either Fiorentina or Cremonese in the final on May 24 in Rome.
Inter plays AC Milan in the Champions League semifinals next month. It beat its city rival to win the Italian Super Cup in January.
바카라I can바카라t tell you the truth, but it doesn바카라t matter how I hit it,바카라 Dimarco said with a laugh when asked if he had actually mishit his shot. 바카라The important thing is that the ball went in. That바카라s what matters in the end.
바카라We바카라ve got through the Champions League quarterfinals, we바카라ve reached this final, we have to continue like this. This group is incredible, made up of boys who fight for this jersey every match and show what they바카라re worth.바카라
It was a largely mediocre performance from Juventus, which will have to swiftly bounce back as it is also in a European semifinal as well as being involved in a tight battle for the top four in Serie A and a place in next season바카라s Champions League.
바카라We need to recharge our batteries because in the past five league matches we have lost four of them,바카라 Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said. 바카라We have the Europa League semifinal, from tomorrow we have to get back to work. We also have to defend third place, with AC Milan and Roma at our backs.바카라
Inter had Romelu Lukaku available after his suspension was overturned by the Italian soccer federation in a 바카라statement against racism.바카라
Lukaku had picked up a second yellow card in the opening leg for provoking Juventus fans by holding his finger to his lips as if to silence the crowd after converting a stoppage-time penalty to snatch a 1-1 draw in Turin.
However, Lukaku 바카라 who is Black 바카라 had been subjected to repeated discriminatory chants.
The Inter forward was brought on as a second-half substitute at San Siro.
By that time Inter was already in front, having taken the lead somewhat fortuitously in the 15th minute.
Nicolò Barella바카라s through ball appeared to be for Edin Džeko but it reached Dimarco. The Inter defender scuffed his shot but it rolled into the back of the net, sending Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin the wrong way.
That seemed to wake Juventus up and it almost leveled 10 minutes from halftime but Inter goalkeeper André Onana pulled off a great save to palm Filip Kostić바카라s 20-yard effort away.
Džeko thought he had doubled Inter바카라s lead seven minutes after the break but it was ruled out for offside.
Dimarco almost helped his team to a second in the 73rd minute with a free kick that came off the wall and into the path of Henrikh Mkhitaryan but Perin pulled off a fantastic one-handed save to deny him at close range.
