Juventus is the first finalist of the 2020/21 edition of the Coppa Italia.
Nothing to be done for Inter, who paid for the 2-1 defeat at San Siro in the first leg, failing to overturn the result in tonight's match at the Allianz Stadium, which ended 0-0. A solid performance by Pirlo's team, who despite a lot of pressure from Conte's gang, managed to keep the lines tight, granting very few opportunities to try to put the result back in the balance. Juve will now face the winner of Atalanta-Napoli, scheduled for tomorrow evening (0-0 in the first leg).
With the first leg result in favor of the Bianconeri, it is the Nerazzurri team that tries to immediately apply great pressure in the opposing half of the field. Conte's men go in search of the goal that can put everything back into question, but the Juventus defense does not concede any great opportunities, at least initially. Then the game heats up and Lukaku comes close to taking the lead by a hair's breadth, subsequently Eriksen and Lautaro create fear with shots that are blocked.
Just before half-time, Juve knocked on Handanovic's side with Ronaldo, first blocked by de Vrij and then by the Slovenian goalkeeper himself. In the second half, Inter continued to press, but Pirlo's team came close to taking the lead in the 64th and 70th minutes, both times with Ronaldo, saved by Handanovic. The last desperate attacks by Conte's team did not have the desired effect and the Nerazzurri were forced to be eliminated, Juventus went to the final.
