Inter Milan beat Lazio 2-0 in their Coppa Italia quarter-final clash at the San Siro on Tuesday night to set up a semi-final tie against AC Milan. Marko Arnautovic and Hakan Calhanoglu were on the scoresheet as Simone Inzaghi toppled his former employers. As a result, Inter will contest the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the 30th time, with only Juventus bettering that record. The 35-year-old Austria international netted a stunning volley to break the deadlock late in the first half.
Mike Maignan’s recent performances have raised doubts regarding his renewal, and ironically his replacement could arrive from Lille. As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning, the Milan directors have been forced to ask themselves whether Maignan justifies a big pay rise given the mistakes that he has made in the past few weeks. Considering the value of the player and his importance in the dressing room – plus his status as the captain since Sergio Conceicao arrives – the answer to the question could be yes. Yet, his dip in form during 2025 has forced a pause for reflection. At…
AC Milan are preparing for a huge game against Bologna tomorrow night, and the latest reports about the potential lineup have been released. The magnitude of tomorrow’s game cannot be underestimated.

AC Milan are facing the realistic possibility of not having Champions League football in 2025-26, something that would cause economic damage. La Gazzetta dello Sport have published a report which outlines the overall difference between the first and second continental competition, i.e. the Europa League. The UEFA prize money – divided into participation fees, results and market pool – allocated overall to the current edition of the Champions League (and which will be valid for three years) amounts to €2.47bn. The Europa League has been allocated €565m, still €100m more than the previous three years (the Champions League prize fund…
AC Milan are experiencing a complicated period made up of various individual issues, and one of them concerns what to do with Joao Felix. Milan found themselves distant from the top four places and thus they decided to intervene during the winter transfer window, bringing in Kyle Walker, Santiago Gimenez, Warren Bondo, Riccardo Sottil and of course Felix too. As Calciomercato.com recall, the Portuguese forward arrived on loan from Chelsea and – despite scoring a goal on his debut in a 3-1 Coppa Italia victory over Roma – the needle on the balance of his time so far remains on…
Roma want to make the loan move for Alexis Saelemaekers into a permanent one, but his good performances are prompting Milan to raise the price-tag. The winger arrived on a dry one-season loan in the final minutes of the summer transfer session, in a straight swap with Tammy Abraham going the other way. They had originally intended to include options to buy, but with no time to sort out the details, they decided to kick that can down the road. While Abraham has stuttered at San Siro, Saelemaekers made a strong impact in the Giallorossi jersey with five goals and…
The Toronto Raptors had a tough time keeping up with the defending NBA champions on Tuesday night. Despite a valiant effort, the Raptors wound up dropping a competitive 111-101 ball game to the Boston Celtics. A big part of Toronto failing to overcome Boston was undoubtedly the efforts of Jayson Tatum. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic made sure to let everyone know just how great the Celtics star is. Tatum finished the game with a double-double, posting 19 points and 11 assists in the win. The talented all-around star even chipped in six rebounds and a steal as well. After…
The Boston Celtics will win the 2025 NBA title if star forward Jayson Tatum keeps playing the way he has been heading into the stretch run of the 2024-25 regular season. Or at least that is the position being taken by former Boston big man and current Celtics broadcaster Brian Scalabrine. The 2008 Celtics champ likes what he has been seeing out of Tatum as he appears to be gearing up to prepare for the 2025 postseason, and has been sharing his opinion that this level of engagement from the St. Louis native makes Boston the favorite to win it…
The face of the NBA has been Lakers superstar LeBron James for quite some time. What he has done in his time in the league is almost unmatched. However, Boston Celtics superstar forward Jayson Tatum has done phenomenal work recently. Tatum is only 26 years old, and his resume in the NBA is astonishing. Tatum is an NBA champion, six-time NBA All-Star, and three-time All-NBA First Team in eight NBA seasons. The former Duke Blue Devil has the resume and recently made a case for himself to be the face of the league. He told Michael Lee of that he…
The shorthanded Celtics saw their six-game winning streak come to a crashing halt on Wednesday night as the Detroit Pistons dominated the second half on their way to an 117-97 blowout win. It was the eighth straight win for the Pistons who now have the longest winning streak in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Boston was playing shorthanded without Jaylen Brown (thigh) and Luke Kornet (personal reasons) and looked sluggish early coming off a back-to-back in Toronto. Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday were back in the lineup but the visitors trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half.…
