Coppa could be Cup of salvation for fading Inter

---

ROME, Apr 18 (AFP): After following up their Champions League demise with a humbling loss at Parma which all but extinguished their lingering Serie A title hopes Inter Milan hope to rescue something from the rubble by at least retaining the Italian Cup. Inter head for Roma, who are set to miss out on the Champions League places altogether after a weekend home loss to Palermo, for Tuesday's semi- final first leg knowing they must pull their socks up amid media reports Sunday that maybe, just maybe, last season's treble-winning coach Jose Mourinho might be plotting a return.
