Milan suffered a heavy blow in their domestic campaign after being knocked out of the Coppa Italia early following a 1-0 defeat to Lazio in the round of 16. The match, held at the Stadio Olimpico, saw a clear dominance by the home team in the crucial moments.

The Rossoneri entered the match under the leadership of coach Massimiliano Allegri, aiming to continue their journey in the competition. However, the team struggled with a lack of offensive effectiveness and was unable to break through Lazio's solid defense.

Despite the back-and-forth control between the two sides, Milan did not demonstrate enough threat to earn the ticket to advance.

In the 80th minute, Mattia Zaccagni managed to score the only goal of the match, giving Lazio the lead late in the game and guiding his team to the quarterfinals amid great celebration from the Eagles' fans.

Milan's exit from the tournament is considered a shock for its fans, especially since the team was aiming to strongly compete for the Coppa Italia this season, particularly given their good results in the Italian league.
