Inter Milan look set to be disappointed in the Coppa Italia again

Inter Milan are on the verge of yet another disappointing exit from the Coppa Italia.

The Nerazzurri have struggled for success in the competition since Samuel Eto’o led them to triumph in the 2010-11 season.

Last season, Antonio Conte’s men crashed out of the competition in the semi-finals to eventual winners Napoli.

In the 2018-19 campaign, they were dumped out of the competition in the quarter-finals by Lazio.

With the victory at San Siro, Juventus have now extended their winning run to five games across all competitions.

Since their 2-0 defeat Inter Milan in Serie A, Juventus have won five games, while keeping clean sheets in four of the five matches.

One particularly impressive win was the 2-0 victory over Napoli in the Super Cup finals, where Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata’s goals handed Andrea Pirlo his first managerial trophy.
