Milan is the first finalist of the Italian Cup. The Rossoneri, who had already won 1-0 in the first leg, easily overwhelmed the surprise Alessandria 5-0. Two goals from Menez, who scored again after 332 days, two more goals from Romagnoli and a final goal in the 89th minute from Mario Balotelli. It had been 13 years since Milan had reached the final of the Coppa Italia. The satisfaction of Mihajlovic is legitimate: "We have achieved the first objective".
Milan will face the winner of Inter-Juve in the final, who play the second leg at the San Siro tonight. The bianconeri, who won the first leg 3-0, are the favourites, but Allegri does not want to lose concentration and warns his players: "We start with a 3-goal lead but in football anything can always happen". And Inter, defeated by Juve again on Sunday in the league, are dreaming of a revenge to get out of a dark period.
Both Mancini and Allegri will give space to those who play less, but the turnover will be limited. Among the Nerazzurri, space for Ljajic and Icardi out. In Juve, Neto in place of captain Buffon, Rugani in place of Barzagli and then space for Padoin and Pereyra while the attack will be formed by the couple Zaza (who is impatient) and Morata, who will have to decide at the end of the year if he wants to return to Real Madrid or stay in Turin.
