Fourth consecutive Coppa Italia final for Juventus, who on May 9 in Rome will go hunting for poker to improve the record they set themselves last year, when they won the third cup in a row by winning the final against Lazio. This is the verdict of the second leg of the semi-final against Atalanta, which the bianconeri faced with a 0-1 draw in the first leg in Bergamo.
It was enough not to concede a goal and score one to be calm, and that's exactly what happened: Allegri's men set up a control match and risked little, apart from the thrill on the post hit by Papu Gomez after a mistake by Benatia. Shortly after, Douglas Costa hit the crossbar, while fifteen minutes from the end comes the penalty that unlocks the game: do it on Matuidi (the Var confirms but some doubts remain), transform Pjanic. Thus it ends 1-0 for Juventus, the same result as the first leg but this time on the freezing afternoon in Turin.
Juventus is the team that has won the Italian Cup the most times in history: it happened 12 times (in May it could be the 13th), with even 5 final losses, the last of which in 2012 against Napoli. Then, from 2015 to today, clear path with three finals and three victories. Atalanta, on the other hand, had won the competition only in 1963, then losing two finals: one with Maradona's Napoli in 1987, the other in 1996 against Fiorentina.
