Lewis Ferguson has made history as the first Scot in 30 years to lift the Coppa Italia, leading Bologna to a momentous 1-0 victory against AC Milan. After recovering from injury, his determination on the pitch was evident, even after sustaining a bloody nose during the match. Ferguson expressed pride in this achievement, noting the emotional weight of this victory for the club after more than 50 years. His leadership qualities have been recognized as he continues to excel in Serie A, being named midfielder of the season for 2023-24.
"I'm a bit swollen in my face, I had blood all over my shirt but it was such an incredible night," the 25-year-old told BBC Scotland.
"All those difficult times throughout the last year dealing with the injury, all that hard work was worth it when I lifted the trophy," he said.
"To see them turn out in their numbers, we walked out on the pitch before the game just to have a little look at the support.
"We are part of history now," Ferguson said, reflecting on the impact of their victory.
