Today, Milan and Bologna will not only be playing for a trophy, but for an entire season. Normally, there is already a huge difference between winning and losing, let alone on the occasion of a final.
This one, more specifically, will also have a specific weight in the planning of next season for both teams, given that what's at stake is not just the Cup, but also direct qualification to the Europa League next year.
A few hours before kick-off, the tension is starting to be felt, with La Repubblica giving further importance to this final by headlining:
"Milan and Bologna chase a trophy that is worth double."
