Unfortunately, Simone Inzaghi's men are no longer in contention for a historic treble.
Indeed, goals from Luka Jovic and Tijjani Reijnders whipped Inter's dream.
However, the rivalry took a back seat before the kick-off as both fanbases stood together.
Curva Nord and Curva Sud Curva Nord and Curva Sud paid tribute to the late Pope Francis with a minute of silence.

Revealed – When Inter Milan Will Start Contract Extension Talks With Davide Frattesi
Inter Milan will start contract extension talks with midfielder Davide Frattesi in September. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They report that the 25-year-old's wages could rise to €3.4 million net per season. For months, it had seemed all but inevitable that Davide Frattesi would leave the club this summer. And had Simone Inzaghi stayed on as coach, that would have been the case. There was a rift between he and Frattesi. However, Inzaghi decided to leave Inter in search of big money at Al-Hilal. Cristian Chivu arrived to replace him on the Inter bench. Inter To Start Contract Talks With Davide Frattesi In September MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal with teammate Davide Frattesi during the Coppa Italia Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Now that Chivu is in charge, plans have changed completely for Davide Frattesi. This about face has a lot to do with the role that the Romanian coach sees for the 25-year-old. Frattesi never quite fit in to the midfield trio in Inzaghi's 3-5-2 system. The previous coach demanded that his midfielders be capable of just about everything on the pitch. On the other hand, Chivu is ready to shift to using attacking midfielders. He'll aim to implement a 3-4-2-1 system with two central players behind one strikers. And in that formation, Frattesi can shine more. Therefore, Inter are actually now ready to offer a new contract to Frattesi. His current deal runs out at the end of June 2028. Frattesi currently earns €2.8 million net per season. Tuttosport report that the Nerazzurri will offer increased wages of €3.4 million net per season. Meanwhile, Inter are not going to begin the talks right away this summer, Tuttosport anticipate. Rather, the Nerazzurri will wait until the season starts and the transfer window closes to begin talks with Frattesi's representatives.

😰 When Instagram backfires: players who used socials to get sold 📲
Ademola Lookman had a strong reaction at the exact moment Atalanta rejected the offer of 42 million euros plus 3 million in bonuses advanced by Inter. The striker removed from his Instagram profile every single photo that linked him to the Orobici, deleting the Goddess from his bio and also removing the profile picture. An unmistakable signal to ask for a transfer, the "respect" of the pact according to which in case of a suitable offer the Nigerian would have left. Now the company must decide how to proceed, cornered by the player who is doing everything to force the transfer. It is not the first time in recent years that we see social media, and IG in particular, become a tool in the hands of players to break with clubs and ask to leave. It is not the first and will not be the last time that such an attitude is adopted by a player. Just today, Dutch winger Xavi Simons, targeted by Chelsea, also decided to remove from his Instagram bio any reference to Chelsea. Below we remember the various precedents. Viktor Gyokeres with Sporting The most recent case is that of Viktor Gyokeres who, in an attempt to force the then successful transfer to Arsenal, did not show up for the training scheduled by Sporting Lisbon and to accentuate his choice had removed from his Instagram bio any reference to the Portuguese club. This greatly soured the relationship, prompting President Frederico Varandas to threaten to keep him in Portugal for years if an adequate offer did not arrive. In the end, the 63.5 million euros plus 10 bonus put on the table by the Gunners were enough to unlock the situation and bring the striker back to the Premier League. Memphis Depay with Manchester United Going back in time we find perhaps one of the first cases. It's 2016 and Memphis Depay, at the end of an extremely disappointing season at Manchester United, removes every single Instagram image that portrays him with the club's colors. So far it seems like a fairly standard story, but there's a twist. In addition to acting in this way towards the Red Devils, the Dutchman who had been criticized several times by then-coach Louis van Gaal and did not plausibly have a good relationship with the rest of the locker room also involved his teammates. He unfollowed all the players who were part of the squad. A dramatic gesture, which led him to play just 4 games in the second half of the season. He was then sold to Lyon at the beginning of 2017. Matheus Cunha with Wolverhampton Returning to modern times, here is another of the most expensive purchases in the Premier League involved. Matheus Cunha 4 months ago used social media to send a warning to Wolverhampton ahead of the summer. "It's time to be happy, I'll follow my dreams and not yours." Time has proven the Brazilian striker right, who achieved the goal of playing with Manchester United. United involved again, this time for Sancho Following one of the many arguments with Erik ten Hag that effectively marked the end of his relationship with Manchester United, Jadon Sancho also had an extreme social reaction. In this case, the English striker's choice was to delete all content from his Instagram profile, a tool to express discontent. Same case but different, Nunez with Liverpool Then there is another case to tell, where the gesture was the same but the motivation is a bit broader and deeper than a simple transfer request. We are talking about Darwin Nunez. That his relationship with Liverpool was not idyllic is true now and was true more than a year ago, when the incident occurred. But the reason is not so immediate. Following the match with Tottenham, after being heavily criticized by the environment for a series of missed goals, the Uruguayan reacted by removing from his recent feed any content related to the Reds' universe. It was a case that then subsided over the summer. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
