"There's no need to compare different eras or different teams. Times change, football changes. Both the 2010 team and this 2026 side have brought happiness to the fans, and that's what matters most."
"Inter have already wrapped up the Serie A title, doing so at the start of May with a 2-0 win over Parma and with three matches of their league season remaining. But their attention now turns to the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday, with Lazio their opponents at the Stadio Olimpico just four days after thrashing them 3-0 at the same venue."
"Lautaro Martinez, Petar Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were all on target for the Scudetto holders, who are now out to win their first Coppa Italia crown since 2023. Following their title win, Chivu's Inter have been compared to the team managed by Jose Mourinho in 2009-10, with the Romanian a key part of that treble-winning side."
"For Lazio, meanwhile, victory in the Coppa Italia offers them a final chance to qualify for Europe after falling off the pace in Serie A since the turn of the year. The winner of the competition qualifies for the Europa League, while victory for Lazio would be their first Coppa Italia success since 2019, under former Inter boss Simone Inzaghi."
Inter have secured the Serie A title with three league matches remaining after a 2-0 win over Parma in early May. Attention now shifts to the Coppa Italia final against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico, scheduled for Wednesday, only four days after Inter beat Lazio 3-0 at the same venue. Lautaro Martinez, Petar Sucic, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored in that league match. Inter aim to win their first Coppa Italia crown since 2023. Cristian Chivu refuses to compare the current squad with the 2010 team, emphasizing that different eras and football evolve, while both sides have brought happiness to supporters. Lazio seek Coppa Italia success to regain European qualification, with the Europa League spot at stake.
