Coppa Italia Final player ratings: Inter complete the Double as Lazio swept aside

Inter ended the night in Rome with the Coppa Italia trophy in hand — and a domestic Double secured — after a controlled 2-0 win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.

The breakthrough arrived from a set piece as a Federico Dimarco corner caused chaos and Inter went in front (some outlets credited Marcus Thuram for the touch, though it went down as an Adam Marušić own goal in other reports), before Lautaro Martínez doubled the lead after Denzel Dumfries forced a decisive mistake and squared for a tap-in. Inter then managed the second half with maturity, limiting Lazio’s comeback chances and riding out a late flashpoint.

Inter player ratings (1–10)

Josep Martínez — 7.5
Not overloaded, but handled the key moments and protected the clean sheet. His save on Boulaye Dia in the second half was an important “final-winning” intervention.

Yann Bisseck — 7.0
Aggressive and front-foot from the start. An early booking didn’t derail him; he kept his duels simple and defended his zone well.

Manuel Akanji — 7.5
A “clean-up” performance in a final: speed to cover, timing to intercept, and a couple of crucial defensive actions to kill Lazio transitions.

Alessandro Bastoni — 7.0
Booked early but never panicked. Read danger well and gave Inter a calm exit pass when Lazio tried to raise the tempo.

Denzel Dumfries — 8.5 (Man of the Match)
Relentless. He created the second goal by robbing Nuno Tavares and squaring for Lautaro, and his power on the right repeatedly pushed Lazio backwards. Named Player of the Final in Football Italia’s live updates.

Nicolò Barella — 7.5
Finals are about rhythm control: Barella offered exactly that. Covered huge ground, kept Inter’s distances right, and moved the ball quickly enough to stop Lazio building pressure.

Petar Sučić — 7.0
Not his flashiest night, but tactically important: helped connect midfield to wing-backs and kept Inter balanced when Lazio tried to squeeze central lanes.

Piotr Zieliński — 6.5
Got into good areas and forced a save, but missed the “should-have” moment late on when he fired wide with the goal gaping.

Federico Dimarco — 7.5
Deadly delivery again: his corner triggered the opener, and he was a constant chance-creator from wide areas. Also involved in the late scuffle that brought tempers up.

Marcus Thuram — 7.5
Set the tone physically and gave Lazio’s centre-backs a long night. His touch on the corner forced the error for the opener (credited to him by some providers; elsewhere logged as an own goal).

Lautaro Martínez — 8.0
Captain’s performance: clinical for 0-2 and constantly available as the outlet when Inter needed to reset. Football Italia’s live updates also noted him receiving the top scorer award post-match.

Subs

Luis Henrique — 6.0
Had a big chance to make it 0-3 and dragged it wide — the only real blot on Inter’s second-half management.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan — 6.5
Came on to help see out the midfield work and close lanes.

Carlos Augusto — 6.5
Solid minutes, good discipline, helped protect the lead.

Ange-Yoan Bonny — 6.0
Mostly a defensive/transition sub role; did what was needed.

Andy Diouf — 6.0
Fresh legs late, helped Inter keep shape.

Post-match talking points

• Inter’s leadership delivered again: Dumfries’ decisive actions, Lautaro’s big-game finish, and a controlled second half turned the final into a professional job.

• Flashpoint late on: tensions rose with a scuffle involving Dimarco and Pedro as the match drifted away from Lazio — the kind of “final edge” that shows how suffocating Inter were once ahead.

• The Double, and a milestone Coppa Italia: Inter’s first domestic double since 2010, the club reaching 10 Coppa Italia titles, is a source of great pride for the club, the players and the fans.
  

While others try to smudge and stain Inter this season, the players and coach have made sure success is achieved. This gives the fans plenty to dream about next season. Forza, Forza Ragazzi! ⚫🔵
