"Como" made a sensation: Italian Cup quarter-final pairings are clear
The final match of the 1/8 finals of the 2025/2026 Coppa Italia season took place on Tuesday, January 27th. In it, Como completed the list as the eighth team to reach the quarterfinals, defeating Fiorentina 3-1 at home.
This result further fueled the intrigue in the tournament. Because in the stage after the 1/8 finals, there will no longer be a \"random game\" - each team aims for the cup, and each match is a part of the road leading to the final.
Juventus, Atalanta, Napoli, Inter Milan, Bologna, Lazio, and Torino also qualified for the quarter-finals. And now all the pairs are fully formed - this is the most pleasant part for fans: \"difficult\" clashes ahead.
Coppa Italia quarterfinal doubles
- Inter - Torino
- Atalanta vs. Juventus
- Bologna vs. Lazio
- Napoli vs. Como
It is noted that the quarter-final matches of the Italian Cup will be held in the first half of February. So, in the coming weeks, the \"cup air\" in Italy will be different - everything could change with a full mood, maximum pressure, and a single mistake in every game.
Another important detail: the current winner of the tournament is \"Bologna.\" The club defeated AC Milan 1-0 in last season\'s final and lifted the trophy. Therefore, Bologna will play as a defender this season as well, and it\'s clear that the opponents will also plan to stop him.
In short, there\'s no romance in the quarter-finals - only results. The February matches will be the true \"red line\" of the Italian Cup: some will approach the dream, while others will quietly leave the stadium. And the fan needs only one thing: strong pairs, hard play, and the smell of sensation.
