Gallery: ‘A high-tension rematch’, ‘Milan discover Jashari’ – Today’s front pages in Italy

AC Milan return to Coppa Italia action at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday night, and it will be a rematch against Lazio.

The two sides faced each other on Saturday night at San Siro, and say that there were fireworks would be an understatement. Rafael Leao got the only goal as Milan won 1-0 to move back top, but the late penalty (or non-penalty) drama has dominated the headlines since.

For the Rossoneri, there is the feeling of wanting to get revenge after losing the final against Bologna back in May, a miserable night that capped off a miserable campaign. Lazio’s ultras, meanwhile, have spoken about creating ‘hell’.
