Only the two giants of Spanish football can afford Mourinho's wage demands and can meet his […]

Inter Milan have won the Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico against Roma in the final.

Juventus will take on Roma in Turin in perhaps one of the round's biggest clashes and certainly only second behind the much-anticipated Milan derby.
