Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao will take to the field at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night, returning to the scene of a previous crime.
Tuttosport (via MilanPress) recall what happened back in September, when Paulo Fonseca was still the head coach. His relationship with the team in general had never taken off, and there was one incident in particular that showed it.

With Leao having just scored to make it 2-1, there was a break due to the excessive heat to take on fluids. The whole team had approached the bench to listen to the coach’s words but Theo and Leao remained on the sidelines, talking to each other on the other side of the pitch.
Naturally, a scandal broke out that went viral, despite attempts from those involved to play things down. Now, the ‘Theao’ duo are returning to the Olimpico for the first time since that incident, and they will do so to try and lift a trophy: the Coppa Italia.
The two want revenge after what happened a few months ago, and they want to lift their third trophy since joining the club. They were both instrumental in the first two (Scudetto 2022 and Supercoppa 2024), and they want to be again.
Want revenge on who? Themselves presumably…
Seriously Oliver, these articles keep getting dumber and dumber. They want revenge for a situation they created? Revenge for what? Against whom?
Slow down on the articles. Try quality over quantity.
It’s copy, machine translate and paste, mate.
Instead of revenge for a cooling break, they should take revenge on Bologna Mayor for not allowing the first League match to go ahead when every other sport and even their damn Primavera were allowed to play that day.
They were in a full blown injury crisis and didn’t want to face Milan, that was all there is to it.
And a bit F you to all the clubs that voted in favor of allowing it to happen, even though the Mayor had NO POWER to deny that game.
That also pushed Theo and Reijnders suspensions to the Napoli match, which cost us another 3 points.
Hate Bologna with a passion. Killing them in the final would be the deserved revenge.
