Background

edit

Fiorentina had previously played in ten Coppa Italia finals, winning on six occasions. Their last appearance was a 3–1 defeat to Napoli in 2014, and their last win was 2–1 on aggregate over Parma in 2001. Inter had won eight of their fourteen prior appearances, and went in as defending champions with a 4–2 extra time win over Juventus in 2022.[6][7] The two teams had never met in the final.

In the 2022–23 Serie A season, the away side won both of the meetings between the two teams. Inter won 4–3 at Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi on 22 October 2022; Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the winning goal in added time.[8] On 1 April 2023, Giacomo Bonaventura scored the only goal of Fiorentina's win at the San Siro.[9]
