Atalanta will play Juventus on May 15 for the final of the Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The two sides, for different reasons, have a big opportunity to make history. Atalanta for sure, since this is the first chance for Gian Piero Gasperini's side to win a trophy this season considering they will face Bayer Leverkusen one week later for the UEFA Europa League final in Dublin. Atalanta's only trophy was in 1963 when the Nerazzurri won the same Coppa Italia and this would also be the first trophy of Gasperini as manager.
On the other side, Juventus are much more used to winning trophies, but not recently. In fact, since Massimiliano Allegri came back in Turin in 2021, the Bianconeri are yet to win something. Considering that the Italian manager is likely to leave the Vecchia Signora in the summer, this would be his last chance leave the club with a cup in his hands. Here's everything you need to know about the final.
