Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Coppa Italia Final, as Milan and Bologna face off to end long droughts in this trophy, as well as qualify for the Europa League.

It kicks off on neutral turf at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT, 21.00 CET).

If the score is tied after 90 minutes, there will be extra time and perhaps even penalties.

Milan have not won the Coppa Italia since 2003, but already lifted the Supercoppa Italiana trophy this season.

Bologna are in their first Coppa Italia Final for 51 years, having won in 1970 and 1974.

Cremonini also now singing along to the legendary Lucio Dalla, another lifelong Bologna fan. He’d have loved this.

The song from Cesare Cremonini, the Bologna fan and singer who is here tonight, has become an anthem at the Stadio Dall’Ara this season. Now it plays in the Stadio Olimpico as they celebrate their first trophy in 51 years. He’s in tears.

Bologna lift the Coppa Italia trophy!

Dan Ndoye named man of the match. Riccardo Orsolini as expected leading the celebrations.

Gianni Morandi, one of the few Bologna fans old enough to remember the last time they won something, is in tears of joy as he hugs all the players. Legendary singer and son of Bologna.

Also good for Italiano, because the man who lost 3 Finals with Fiorentina between Conference League and Coppa Italia at last got to celebrate.

It has to be said, playing Milan on Friday ultimately helped Bologna a lot more. They lost that game 3-1, but learned the valuable lessons. When Conceicao tried his tactical adjustments, this time Italiano was ready.

Vincenzo Italiano is flung into the air by the Bologna players. Fans in tears of joy in the stands. They hadn’t won for 51 years!

This also means Bologna are mathematically qualified for the Europa League!

Milan may well miss out on Europe altogether.

Milan have been in the Coppa Italia Final on 14 occasions and won only 5 of them.
