On Wednesday, May 14, the Coppa Italia final will take place between AC Milan and Bologna. This match could mark Santiago Giménez’s first trophy since joining the rossoneri squad, especially following an impressive performance where he scored twice in Serie A last weekend.
However, Giménez faced some disappointing news from Sergio Conceição, the Italian team’s coach. When asked in a press conference about the starting striker for the upcoming match, Conceição refused to disclose any details, leaving fans wondering if Giménez’s recent form would secure him a starting spot. “I won’t say, just as I didn’t tell anyone else, so both will have doubts,” stated Conceição. According to Tuttosport, it appears that Luka Jovic will be the chosen one to start in this crucial match for AC Milan’s only title opportunity this season.
During the same conference, Conceição provided some insights regarding the team composition, stating that Rafael Leao would be returning to the lineup while Fofana’s participation remains uncertain due to ongoing foot issues, with tests to be conducted right up to the match.
The Coppa Italia final will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, representing AC Milan’s only chance to avoid a winless season. The match is scheduled for 13:00 local time and will be available for viewing in Mexico via Caliente TV, a streaming platform with sports content.
Overall, the anticipation surrounding the match is high, as both teams seek glory. For Santiago Giménez, regardless of his starting position, his contributions have already made a significant impact, and this final is a chance for him to shine on a larger stage.
