Italian Cup.. semi-final date UAE time

Inter Milan seeks to continue its journey in the Italian Cup football competition and reach the final match in its quest to achieve the double after it is one win away from crowning the league title for the 21st time in its history, when it hosts Como on Tuesday (23:00 UAE time) in the second leg of the semi-final at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.
Inter Milan is twelve points away from its direct pursuers, Milan and Napoli, five stages before the end of the league, and is almost crowned with the league title, as it can win the Scudetto as of the end of this week with the help of Cremonese if the newly promoted team prevents the southern team from winning on Friday evening at the opening of the thirty-fourth stage, and from Buventus if it withstands its neighbor Milan on Saturday.
Inter will also play on Saturday against its host Torino.
Before that, Romanian coach Cristian Kefu and his players will face the ambitious Cuomo, led by his coach, the ambitious former Spanish international midfielder Cesc Fabregas, in turn, for the fourth time this season, and the third in a month and a half.
Since their draw (0-0) in the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final in early March, Inter Milan players returned to the shores of Lake Como and achieved a dramatic and decisive victory in the league (4-3) on April 12, and thus enter the second leg of the semi-final with a great psychological advantage, especially since Como, who had never previously reached the semi-finals of the Italian Cup competition, has since lost to Sassuolo (0-2) and his chances of qualifying for the Champions League have diminished. For the first time in its history.
Como occupies fifth place with 58 points on goal difference, ahead of sixth-placed Roma, and five points behind fourth-placed Juventus.
Kefu warned: “Cuomo wants to write history, and we will have to be at our best to be in Rome and dedicate this final match to our fans.”
In his first season at the helm of Inter’s technical staff, the Romanian coach experienced great disappointment in the Champions League with his team’s exit, runner-up in the 2025 edition, from the qualifying round to the 16th round against Bodo Glimt of Norway, but he may become the coach of the club’s tenth title in the Italian Cup and break up the partnership of second place on the list of the best winners in the competition with Roma, knowing that Juventus is the most decorated team with 15 titles.
Kevo will also become the maker of Inter’s third double between the league and the cup (after 2005-2006 and 2009-2010).

Atalanta – Lazio
The other semi-final match on Wednesday (23:00 UAE time) in Bergamo brings together Atalanta and Lazio in a confrontation open to all possibilities after the first leg ended in an exciting draw (2-2).
With their absence in the league, where Atalanta occupies seventh place with 54 points and Lazio ranks ninth with 47 points, “La Dea”, which has won the cup once (1963), and the second pole of the capital, whose seventh and final title goes back to 2019, can save their season through the Italian Cup competition, as it provides a ticket to the lucrative Italian Super Cup and another to the European League competition “Europa League”, guaranteed as of Wednesday if they reach the final against Inter on May 13. On the Olympic Stadium.
Lazio enters the match in high spirits after defeating its host Napoli 2-0 on Saturday at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, dealing a fatal blow to the southern team in its quest to retain its title as league champion.
Lazio killed two birds with one stone as it returned to winning ways after a draw with Parma and a loss against Fiorentina.
On the other hand, Atalanta continued to lose points by falling into the draw trap against its host Roma (1-1), after losing to its guest Juventus (0-1) in the last stage.
