We Won! Hooray!
With a lovely goal from Diego Milito, Inter take home the Coppa Italia, the first of a possible three we are in contention for. Sure, this is the baby bear of the three, but it gives us momentum going into these last two games.
Javier Zanetti - my personal football idol - lifts the Coppa Italia
Javier Zanetti says:
"Tonight's victory is an important success for us. We deserved it because we played better than our opponents, but now we have to start thinking about our next match against Chievo on Sunday. Roma are a great team and they will fight for the Scudetto until the end, I can only say that the teams who faced each other tonight both deserve compliments for an excellent season."
Commenting on Francesco Totti's sending-off for a rage-fuelled challenge on Mario Balotelli, Zanetti said:
"These things can happen, but I'm sorry to have seen so much nervousness."
Sneijder lifts his first (of many, I hope) trophy with Inter
Wesley Sneijder says:
"I got a kick in my leg and some blood came out, but I feel better now, but at least I can walk so we will see what happens. I'm very happy about my first title in Italy," he said. "We can take two more this year and we have to go for it, but the most important one is the first one and now we have to keep focused and win two more titles. The first title is the most important. Madrid is two and a half weeks away, so first we will win the league and then we will look forward to the Champions League title."

Balotelli finally enjoying the moment. I am ready to give him (yet) another chance.
