Juventus Women know that victory over Inter at home in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final will send the Bianconere into the final.
Julia Grosso grabbed the first goal of the tie last weekend at Inter before the home side equalised in the second half.
Curiously, in their two cup triumphs, Juve have always found the other team from Milan on their path in the semi-finals. Let's look back at the most exciting moments of those four meetings.
13 MARCH 2019: MILAN 1-2 JUVENTUS
Juve found themselves behind after just two minutes due to an own goal by Sofie Pedersen. The comeback began to take shape with Barbara Bonansea's leveller at the end of the first half. Arianna Caruso completed the turnaround with 16 minutes to play.
17 APRIL 2019: JUVENTUS 1-1 MILAN
Benedetta Glionna finally made the breakthrough in a tight contest at Vinovo on the hour. The Rossonere managed to equalise with Glionna's now teammate at Roma, Manuela Giugliano on target in the 82nd minute.
The Bianconere held out the remaining minutes to ward off the spectre of extra time and win the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
12 MARCH 2022: MILAN 1-6 JUVENTUS
Cristiana Girelli grabbed the game's opening goal inside 10 minutes to settle any Juve nerves in the semi-final first leg last season.
Although Girelli would add her second and the team's third just after the hour mark following an Amanda Nildén effort on 31 minutes, no one could have predicted the glut of goals in the game's closing 10 minutes.
Joe Montemurro's side scored three more through an Agnese Bonfantini brace after Martina Rosucci had celebrated the team's fourth on 84'. The Rossonere snatched a consolation goal three minutes into stoppage time but the Bianconere had done enought to put more than a foot in the final.
1 MAY 2022: JUVENTUS 5-3 MILAN
Driven by a desire to redeem damaged pride, Milan took command of the second leg, charging into a two goal advantage before five minutes had elapsed of the second half.
Juve responded, however, and late goals again, this time from Arianna Caruso and Lisa Boattin, added gloss to the scoreline after Andrea Staskova with a double and Barbara Bonansea had cancelled out the visitors' lead.
