AC Milan ensured they are the final team to reach the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Thursday night.
Milan booked their place in the last eight with a 3-0 victory at home to Serie A strugglers Bari.
The rearranged tie always looked like being a mismatch with Milan top of the Italian league and Bari rock-bottom, and so it proved with the five-time winners cruising through.
Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic continued his fine form on loan from Barcelona, giving the hosts a 19th-minute lead with his 16th goal of the season and his fifth in six games.
Midfielder Alexander Merkel (9.19 points FTBL reiting) was handed just his second senior start for Milan and the 18-year-old German youth international made it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time.
Brazilian forward Robinho then completed the scoring for Milan in the 65th minute, grabbing his seventh goal since his big-money switch from Manchester City in the summer.
Milan can now look forward to an away tie against Sampdoria next Wednesday when Massimiliano Allegri's men, who have not won the competition since 2003, will look to book a place in the semi-finals for the first time since 2007.
