Mkhitaryan started the final on the bench and entered the match in the 68th minute. The 37-year-old midfielder became an Italian Cup winner with Inter for the second time since joining the club.

Inter arrived at the final as the newly crowned champions of Italy and completed another successful season by adding the domestic cup to their list of achievements.
