Juventus wins the fifteenth Coppa Italia in its history, beating Atalanta 1-0 at the Olimpico in Rome. The Bianconeri team offered one of its best performances of the season, culminating in the decisive goal by Vlahovic. For Massimiliano Allegri, it is the fifth triumph in the Coppa Italia, a record in the tournament.
However, his joy was slightly overshadowed by the expulsion at the end. On the other hand, for Gian Piero Gasperini, it was the third final lost in the Coppa Italia, while now his attention shifts to the last act of the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen, scheduled for May 22 in Dublin.
Today's game was a wake-up call for the Atalanta coach, who had seen his team give Roma little space in the previous game. Despite the absence of starting playmaker Manuel Locatelli due to suspension, Juventus managed to build the game with greater fluidity than the Goddess.
The youngsters Nicolussi Caviglia and Cambiaso proved to be up to the task, while it was the latter who inspired the Bianconeri's opening goal with a precise verticalization. Atalanta tried to react in the second half, with attempts by Lookman and Koopmeiners, but without managing to find the equalizer.
The crossbar also denied Goddess the chance to reopen the match, while Juventus managed the lead until the final whistle. For Allegri, this victory represents another trophy in his already rich career, but it could also be his last in black and white, considering the rumors circulating about his future.
