Gasperini in search of a historic trophy, Allegri wants to leave with a victory: live from 9pm on Canale 5 and streaming on Sportmediaset.it
A Goddess who has never been so brilliant and determined to make history against a dull Lady, full of wrinkles, destined to soon undergo a revolution, because she is too ugly to be true. Tonight at the Olimpico (live on Channel 5 from 9pm and streaming on Sportmediaset.it) l’Atalanta of Wonders looks with the utmost confidence to the first of its finals, the culmination of a stellar season, certified by the super performance offered on Sunday evening against Roma, the best viaticum from a psychological point of view to approach the night of Italian Cup under the sky of the Olimpico and next week’s Europa League match in Dublin. On the other side there is a Juventus who, having achieved with difficulty the objective of passing into the Champions League, aims to put a trophy on his board to make a colorless year less bitter, conditioned by the absence of cups (not his fault), but also by a game that with the As the days passed, it underwent a worrying decline.
See also Coppa Italia Juve, Allegri: “We will have to be good and lucky to win, but the objective was the Champions League” At the home of the Bergamo team there is something to be achieved after years of pursuit and the challenge that is valid for the national trophy can open up paths so far unknown. After eight years on the Nerazzurri bench, Gasperini has a mad desire to raise a trophy to the sky and never before has he been in the best conditions to dispel the taboo. The numbers seem to give a clear indication: of the last 14 matches Atalanta have won 9 (and lost 2), Juventus has managed to collect the three points only 2 times. Then there is also an implication of crossroads and destinies involving the two coaches: the Atalanta coach is looking for his first trophy and to get rid of the reputation of the most successful loser (he is in his third Italian Cup final in five years) even if Gasp won one title in his career, and it was at the helm of Juventus, albeit Primavera (the Viareggio tournament won in 2003).
Allegri, on the other hand, is aiming for the record of five national cup trophies, so as to distance himself from Roberto Mancini and Sven Goran Eriksson, and close the season by achieving the second of the objectives set by the club after achieving qualification for the Champions League. The Juventus navigator and leader, for the first time since he coaches the Lady, starts out as an underdog, but knows how to face the Nerazzurri storm, aware of the strength of the group and of the history of Juventus itself. The danger is high and he can tell from his words that they sound like a historic challenge that will mark his future in black and white.

It is therefore an Atalanta that has never been so ambitious, ready to make history and win the national cup again 61 years after the 1963 triumph and thus interrupt a streak of four finals lost in a row (1987, 1996, 2019, 2021). Gasp tries to go beyond the result. But there is a victory at stake that would make history, for him and for the Dea who will focus on the starters (De Ketelaere for Scamacca out). Allegri, on the other hand, hopes for the resilience of his Lady (who is banking on Chiesa-Vlahovic and has to do without the suspended Locatelli), to give one last smile before saying goodbye.
