For decades, Bologna were a club trapped between the what ifs and maybes, have stood on the edge of breakthrough and have watched in frustration as misses made their chances of victory fade in obscurity.
They were once a proud powerhouse of Italian football, could boast seven Serie A titles, and, of course, a loyal following that refused to abandon their team.
But since then, their glory days have almost been forgotten, buried under the dust of the 1970s.
Year after year, they fought to claim their best days, but always did they fight in the shadows of Italy’s giants:
· Juventus
· Inter
· Milan
· Roma.
Then came 2025.
A year that rewrote Bologna’s story, shattered expectation, and invigorated a budding hope.
Led by Thiago Motta’s vision, Bologna stormed through the Coppa Italia, a competition they hadn’t won since 1974.
And in a final, few dared to imagine, they faced the mighty AC Milan.
For ninety relentless minutes, Bologna played not as underdogs, but as equals.
They pressed.
They fought.
And when the moment came, they seized it.
In a single, decisive goal that sent their fans into tears of disbelief and joy, Bologna took the win.
Fifty years of waiting.
Fifty years of heartbreak.
Gone in an instant.
The Coppa Italia returned to Bologna, and with it, the spirit of a city reborn.
Now, as they prepare to meet Fiorentina, one thing is certain: this Bologna side isn’t done defying reason.
They’ve already proved they can defy history, so why not the odds?
And as every underdog knows, once you’ve climbed the mountain, you never forget the view.
This is Bologna.
This is what it means to believe.
This is the Coppa Comeback.
