Originally, Juventus was Inter's main opponent in the Serie A title this season, and then since January, Juve has only scored 15 points in 15 rounds of the league, not only being thrown off by Inter, but also falling to the fourth place in the standings. Fortunately, Juve re-entered the Coppa Italia final after 2 years, and in the final on May 16, Beijing time, Juve and Atalanta met, and won the Coppa Italia 1:0 with a win from Vlahovic.
Atalanta have had a busy schedule of late, having just won a Champions League place in the last round of games over Roma and reached the Europa League final, making them the only team outside of Bayer Leverkusen to play on the third tier. In the face of a winner-winning final, the two teams naturally did not dare to slack off, Vlahovic and Chiesa Jr. formed a double striker; Ilyin, Rabiot, Caviglia, McKennie and Cambiaso Jr. in midfield; Gatti, Bremer and Danilo were paired with three central defenders, and Perrin was in goal.
In just 4 minutes of the opening game, Juve made a dream start, Vlahovic inserted a flexible running position to counter offside and broke the deadlock with a single push, 1:0! It was Vlahovic's second Coppa Italia final, having scoed the back of the net against Inter two years earlier. In the ninth minute, McKennie flicked his header and the ball hit Gatti's head high over the crossbar. After taking a one-goal lead, Juve began to relinquish the initiative at the back, but Atalanta were unable to create any effective threat, with all six shots off target.
In the second half, Atalanta continued to attack, but it was always fruitless; In the 51st minute, De Ketelaere broke through the ball, and Lookman's push was reflected off the bottom line; In the 65th minute, Chiesa Jr. advanced the ball, and Vlahovic's powerful shot was saved by the goalkeeper. In the 73rd minute, Cambiaso Jr. crossed the 45 ball diagonally from the right side to the goal, Vlahovic shook his head + shoulder and pushed the ball into the goal, but after VAR intervened, it was ruled offside and the goal was invalidated. In the 78th minute, Lookman cut low and the ball hit the post and popped up, and Juve escaped! Five minutes later, Miretti returned with a volley from a tight angle that hit the crossbar.
In the end, Juve kept it 1-0 until the end of the game, which was Juve's first time winning the trophy after three years, ending a three-year title drought, and they won the Coppa Italia 15 times in team history, far ahead of Inter and Roma with nine times. However, due to the poor results in the league and coaching problems, even if he wins the Coppa Italia, it may be difficult for Allegri to stay at the end of the season. Atalanta, on the other hand, missed out on winning the trophy again after 61 years and lost the double this season.
