In the second leg of the 2024/25 Coppa Italia semi-final, Inter Milan lost to AC Milan 0-3 after conceding goals in both the first and second half. After failing to advance to the final, Inter Milan defender De Vrij said the team must look forward and continue to pursue other goals.

Alex Jimenez assisted Luka Jovic to score in the 36th minute, giving AC Milan a 1-0 lead. In the 50th minute of the second half, AC Milan got a corner kick opportunity, and Luka Jovic scored in the melee, helping AC Milan continue to lead Inter Milan 2-0.

In the 85th minute, Reinders received a pass from Leo and scored with a low shot, helping AC Milan extend their lead to 3-0.

In the end, Inter Milan lost 0-3 to their city rivals AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium and missed the chance to continue competing for the championship.

Looking back on the match against AC Milan, the 33-year-old De Vrij said, "My shot was actually very good, but Maignan made a great save. It was a chance to open up the situation, but the ball did not enter the net. We tried very hard to score, but we just couldn't do it."

"We've been involved in a lot of games this season, but that's no excuse. We played well in the first half and created a lot of chances but didn't take them and the opponent scored with the first chance. That's how the game is but we have to stay positive. This defeat hurts but we have to keep our heads up and keep working towards our goals."

Inter Milan will face Roma at home in the next round of Serie A. Currently, Inter Milan ranks first in the standings with 71 points, the same points as Napoli, which ranks second. The situation for the championship is still very fierce.

In addition, Inter Milan will travel to challenge La Liga giants Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final next week, which is another extremely important and difficult game.

De Vrij continued, "We did play a lot of games, but this is what we wanted. We remained competitive in all competitions, but the result against AC Milan was disappointing because it was an opportunity to win a trophy, but we have to look forward because there are other goals waiting for us to achieve. We still have a lot of tasks to complete this season."
