The Coppa Italia Semifinal First Leg showcased the Milan Derby.  AC Milan and Inter ended with a 1-1 draw on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the iconic San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Tammy Abraham opened the scoring in the 47th minute. Hakan Çalhanoglu equalized in the 67th minute with a long-range shot. Maignan made crucial saves against Zalewski and Mkhitaryan, while Leao posed a threat for the Rossoneri.

The return match of the Coppa Italia semi-final featuring Inter and Milan is scheduled for April 23.

To give you some background, Milan and Inter have clashed in eight previous knockout rounds of the Coppa Italia before reaching the final, with both teams advancing four times. The last time they met in this context, the Nerazzurri emerged victorious in the 2021/22 semi-finals.

AC Milan gained the upper hand in the 47th minute when forward Tammy Abraham found the net with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. Youssouf Fofana provided the assist after a collision with Frattesi, allowing Abraham to outmaneuver Martinez in the box with a precise angled shot.

 Stats before the game

AC Milan has not lost to Inter in their last three encounters across all competitions, achieving two wins and one draw, following a streak of six straight losses. The last occasion AC Milan secured three victories over Inter in a single season was back in 2004/05, with one win in the league and two in the UEFA Champions League.

Inter has scored in every one of their last 11 encounters with Milan, marking a notable trend in the history of the Milan derby. Only twice has a team managed to score in 12 consecutive matches, with Inter achieving this feat on both occasions, first from 1954 to 1959 and again from 1993 to 1997.

Milan (25) and Inter (30) are among the top three teams with the most appearances in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, alongside Juventus (36). The Rossoneri have faced elimination in their last three attempts at this stage, while the Nerazzurri have advanced in their last two appearances after being knocked out in the previous four.

Inter has secured victories in their last two Coppa Italia matches without allowing any goals (2-0 against Udinese and Lazio). The last time they achieved a longer streak of consecutive wins without conceding in this competition was in 2010, when they recorded three 1-0 victories in a row during the semi-finals and final under José Mourinho.

Milan has both scored and conceded in their last four Coppa Italia matches, netting a total of 14 goals during this stretch—one more than they managed in their previous ten games combined.

Player Stats

Tijjani Reijnders has contributed to two goals in the three matches against Inter this season (with an assist in the first leg and a goal in the return). The Dutch midfielder has scored nine goals at home in the 2024/25 season, and the last Milan midfielder to hit double digits in home goals in a single season was Kaká in 2008/09 (10).

Lautaro Martínez has netted nine goals against Milan across all competitions, with only Giuseppe Meazza (12) and Stefano Nyers (11) having a better record against the Rossoneri in Inter’s history. Additionally, he has scored eight goals in the Coppa Italia, a record that no Nerazzurri player has surpassed in the last 20 seasons, matching Julio Cruz’s tally.

AC Milan’s coach, Sergio Conceição, conducted his pre-match press conference in anticipation of the first leg of the Coppa Italia Semifinal. This two-legged matchup, which carries significant importance, will see them go up against Inter at San Siro on Wednesday. Here are his statements.

DERBY IN THE CUP
“The derby is always an important game for everyone given the context, but it’s a different time and a few of the players will be different. Inter are always a strong side, but we want to start the game strongly to reach our aim, which is winning.”

COPPA ITALIA AS A ROUTE TO EUROPE
“We need to focus on the game and nothing else. It’s true that it is the shortest route, but we still have a few games in the league that we need to play and win.”

RAFA LEÃO
“The group is doing well, and they are all available. We still have a session tomorrow; today, the starters from Napoli did their own session. It’s up to me to choose; we have a strong starting 11, and I’m happy that the subs are coming on and making an impact. You can’t play with 26 starters. I’ve known Rafa for years, I watched him play as a youngster, and he needs to keep developing. In terms of talent, he’s one of the best players in the world; he needs to find consistency in front of goal.”

SANTI GIMENEZ AND JOÃO FÉLIX
“It’s normal to need time to adapt when you come it Italy. It’s not an easy league. In fact, it’s one of the best, with great coaches and players. We need to keep Santi calm with the trust that we give him. The same goes for João.”

ANOTHER TROPHY
“I’d be delighted to win another trophy, but first, we need to win the semis and then the final. I don’t like to predict the future, but I do like to take it day by day in order to improve the team on a professional and personal level.”

TACTICAL BALANCE
“I like my team to play short, but it’s hard without the right coordination. When we don’t act as a unit, it gets harder, and we get more vulnerable.”

CUP COACH
“Coaches either win or they don’t win. Cups have a different weight, Serie A or the Champions League are different, but there are no league coaches and cup coaches.”

Bologna secured a decisive 3-0 victory against Empoli in the first leg of the Coppa Italia Semifinal on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. Thijs Dallinga’s two goals played a crucial role in this win. As two-time champions, Bologna last lifted the Coppa Italia trophy in 1974, and this impressive performance has fans already making plans for the final in Rome this May.

Empoli now faces a daunting task in the second leg in Bologna on April 24. The winner set to clash with either AC Milan or Inter Milan, who will play their semi-final first leg on Wednesday, April 2, at the San Siro Stadium.

It was a disappointing defeat for Empoli, who had previously eliminated Juventus in a penalty shootout to reach their first semi-final. However, the stark difference in league performance was evident.  The relegation-threatened hosts were outperformed by Bologna, who are in pursuit of a Champions League spot.

Bologna opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Jens Odgaard delivered a cross from the left. While Thijs Dallinga drew the attention of two defenders, the ball found the unmarked Riccardo Orsolini, who struck a first-time shot into the net, beating goalkeeper Jacopo Seghetti.

The visitors extended their lead just six minutes later, with Dallinga finishing a perfectly timed through ball from Dan Ndoye. Six minutes after the break, the duo connected once more, as Dallinga slid in to convert Ndoye’s pass across the goal.

With a vocal proof of the “blasphemy” the captain’s disqualification would arrive, but after the challenge with the Azzurri. In the first leg, Conte-Marotta-De Laurentiis exchanged blows. Then Inzaghi blurted out. From the Senate: no growth decree, but green light for stadiums and betting.

👉Juve: incredible and humiliating defeat against Empoli.

Horrible Bianconeri performance, except for a Thuram wonder goal. Then the Tuscans qualify on penalties, with mistakes from Vlahovic and Yildiz. The third target failed by Motta, who is at risk. “I feel shame, I hope for strong criticism, the fans were gentle, I apologize.” Empoli in the semis with Bologna: historic feat!

👉Leader Milinkovic Savic
There’s Vanja in the wood: “Toro will grow”

“Turnaround with a 4-2-3-1 system, we go ahead! I don’t think about criticism; I am just myself. I am the same as four years ago. The best penalty saved? Against Atalanta.”

👉Recovery and then Lazio: 180′ of fire
Milan needs a shock in Bologna for the Champions League.

Conceiçao’s team at the crossroads: fourth spot or revolution. Everyone on the brink, starting with the coach.

Empoli won the Coppa Italia Quarterfinals on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at the Allianz Stadium in Empoli, Italy. What an incredible night at the Allianz Stadium!  Empoli has made history by reaching the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the very first time!

This achievement is well-deserved for Roberto D’Aversa’s team, who took the lead in the first half. Although Thuram worked his magic to equalize, Juventus pushed hard for the lead but couldn’t break through Empoli’s solid defense. They even faced the threat of conceding again during counterattacks from the visitors. The match went to penalties, where Vlahovic and Yildiz missed their shots, but every Empoli player found the net. The winning penalty was scored by Marianucci, sealing a memorable evening for Empoli!

This marks Empoli’s third appearance in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia, having previously defeated Catanzaro, Torino, and Fiorentina to get here. Meanwhile, Juventus is living a nightmare after recent Champions League exit and now losing the Coppa Italia.

The match…

Empoli struck first in the 24th minute when Youssef Maleh found the back of the net with a powerful right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner, thanks to an assist from Jacopo Bacci. It was a stunning moment for the Tuscans as Maleh unleashed a rocket from the edge of the box, leaving goalkeeper Mattia Perin with no chance as the ball sailed into the corner!

Juventus leveled the score at 1-1 in the 66th minute when Khéphren Thuram found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the bottom left corner. Randal Kolo Muani provided the assist. It was an impressive goal from the French midfielder, who executed a brilliant maneuver to outsmart Henderson near the edge of the area and then beat Vasquez at the near post!

Stats before the game

The only time Juventus and Empoli faced each other in the Coppa Italia dates back to 2007/08, when in the round of 16 the Bianconeri won with an overall score of 6-5 (2-1 for the Tuscans in the first leg and 5-3 in favor of the Old Lady in the return leg).

Juventus have lost only one of their 17 home games against Empoli in all competitions (14W, 2D): 1-0 in Serie A, on 28 August 2021 (decisive goal by Leonardo Mancuso).
Juventus have advanced once they have reached the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia in each of the last five editions (from 2019/20 to 2023/24): the last time the Bianconeri were eliminated in the quarter-finals dates back to the 2018/19 season (3-0 defeat in Bergamo against Atalanta).

Juventus have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five Coppa Italia games, including the two most recent (against Atalanta and Cagliari); the Bianconeri have not kept more consecutive clean sheets in the competition since May 2017 and January 2019 (seven in that case, with Massimiliano Allegri on the bench).
Juventus are the team that has reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals the most times overall: 36 so far in 77 previous editions of the competition (at least seven more than any other team – Inter follow with 29).

Empoli were eliminated the last time they participated in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, losing 4-0 on aggregate to Inter in the 2006/07 edition (2-0 for the Nerazzurri in both the first and second legs). The Tuscan team could become the 41st different team to reach the penultimate act of the competition.
