Roma clinched the Coppa Italia for the first time since 1991 despite going down 2-1 to Inter Milan in the second leg of the final.

The Giallorossi outfit were already in the asendancy following the trashing they gave Inter Milan in the first leg which they won 6-2, therefore claiming a 7-4 win on aggregate.

Argentinian hit man Hernan Crespo and Julio Cruz got the goals for Inter to give their side a glimmer of hope before Simone Perrotta killed off the tie with an instinctive strike following Totti’s wayward shot.
