Juventus displayed remarkable resilience and determination, clinching their coveted spot in the Coppa Italia final through a pulsating 3-2 aggregate victory over Lazio.
In a gripping encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, Arkadiusz Milik emerged as the catalyst, swiftly making an impact mere seconds after stepping onto the field as a substitute in the 83rd minute, propelling the Old Lady into the final phase of the tournament.
Despite succumbing to a 2-1 defeat in the second leg, Massimiliano Allegri’s resolute Juventus side maintained composure, ultimately advancing to the final. Having faced a 2-0 deficit from the initial leg in Turin, Lazio harbored hopes of orchestrating a comeback, a glimmer of optimism ignited when Castellanos capitalized on a corner to reduce the deficit. The prolific striker then amplified the tension by doubling Lazio’s lead on the night and equalizing the aggregate score, delivering a clinical low shot beyond the reach of goalkeeper Mattia Perin shortly after halftime.
As the match approached the brink of extra time, the decisive moment arrived, with Poland international Milik seizing the opportunity to slot home into an unguarded net, sealing Juventus’ berth in the final showdown against the winner between Fiorentina and Atalanta.
