Milan’s updated Coppa Italia path as Inter and Napoli surprisingly crash out

AC Milan faced the prospect of yet another Coppa Italia derby against Inter, this time in the semi-finals, until last night’s developments at San Siro.

Gianluca Di Marzio talks about the teams that are still in the running to raise the 2023-24 Italian Cup to the skies. Now that we are in the last 16 stage of the competition, things are beginning to heat up as the seeded teams come into the competition.

The first to take to the field were Lazio, who won 1-0 against Genoa thanks to Matteo Guendouzi’s goal. Fiorentina also joined the Biancocelesti in the quarter-finals after winning against Parma on penalties.

The first certain match of the quarter-finals is Bologna-Fiorentina, with the Rossoblu having eliminated Inter last night at San Siro with two goals in extra-time. Meanwhile Napoli are also out after being demolished 4-0 at home by Frosninone.

Below is the full list of last 16 games, including those still to be played:

➤ Lazio 1-0 Genoa ➤ Fiorentina 6-3 Parma (after penalties) ➤ Napoli 0-4 Frosninone ➤ Inter 1-2 Bologna. ➤ Milan-Cagliari – Tuesday 2 January 2024 at 21:00 CET ➤ Atalanta-Sassuolo – Wednesday 3 January 2024 at 18:00 CET ➤ Roma-Cremonese – Wednesday 3 January 2024 at 21:00 CET ➤ Juventus-Salernitana – Thursday 4 January 2024 at 21:00 CET

The next matches are scheduled for the first week of January, with Milan taking on Cagliari at home to try and book a place in the last 16.

At the moment the most likely path for Milan, if they were to beat Cagliari, is to face Atalanta in the quarter-finals and then one of either Bologna or Fiorentina in a two-legged semi-final, with the likes of Roma, Lazio and Juventus on the other side of the bracket.
