Reaching the Coppa Italia final is clearly a historic achievement for Bologna. This is because their last appearance in the final was 51 years ago.
As for Milan, a win in the Coppa Italia would end a 22-year wait. Indeed, the last time the Rossoneri won the Coppa Italia was during the 2002-2003 season. At that time, coach Carlo Ancelotti led the team, including Paolo Maldini and others, to victory in the Coppa Italia.
