Napoli lifted the Coppa Italia with a 4-2 penalty shootout triumph over Ronaldo and former coach Maurizio Sarri on Wednesday following a dire goalless draw.
Match Reports
The Partenopei deserved their sixth cup triumph after passing up some big chances in the 90 minutes as Juve's star attackers failed to show at the Stadio Olimpico.
Gianluigi Buffon made a succession of vital stops and the stage appeared set for the veteran to lead the Bianconeri to glory in the shootout, yet two team-mates failed from the spot as Napoli kept their nerve.
Match Events
6' Meret denies Ronaldo's shot
Meret denies Ronaldo with a fine stop. Callejon gives the ball away on the edge of his own box to Dybala and the Argentine tees up Ronaldo for the strike. The Portuguese connects well with his effort, but the Napoli keeper gets down to make the save.
24' Buffon denies Insigne's free-kick
Insigne bends his effort over the wall towards the top-left corner. Buffon scrambles to get across, only for the ball to strike the post and bounce to safety.
40' CLOSE! Buffon parries Demme's shot
Demme charges through the Juve defence after a spell of Napoli pressure. The midfielder goes for a low drive from the right inside channel, but Buffon makes a fine stop with his legs to divert it behind for a corner.
41' AGAIN! Buffon makes decent save to stop Insigne
Juve clear the resulting corner as far as Insigne 25 yards from goal. He strikes a curling effort towards the top-left corner that Buffon has to turn behind for another set-piece.
54' Bentancur's shot flies into the sky
Ronaldo picks up steam down the left wing and he runs at the Napoli defence with menace. He cuts back on to his right foot on the edge of the box to tee up Bentancur. However, the Uruguayan scoops a harmless strike over the bar on his left foot.
83' Yellow Card! Dybala booked
Dybala lunges in on Demme and goes into the book.
Penalty shootouts round 1 (Napoli 1-0 Juventus)
SAVE! Meret denies Dybala with a fine stop, diving to his left to palm his strike away. 0-0.
Calm as you like from Insigne as he places his effort into the bottom-right corner. 0-1.
Round 2 (Napoli 2-0 Juventus)
OVER! Danilo blasts his effort well over the bar. He takes an age to line up his attempt and it's not worth it, putting his team in huge trouble. 0-1.
Politano goes for power and he hammers his effort through the hands of the diving Buffon. 0-2.
Round 3 (Napoli 3-1 Juventus)
Bonucci stems the tide for Juve as he clips the underside of the bar with his strike. 1-2.
Maksimovic goes for power and he rifles his effort into the back of the net. 1-3.
Round 4 (Napoli 4-2 Juventus)
Ramsey keeps the shootout alive as he outfoxes Meret to place his effort down the middle. 2-3.
It's all on Milik to win the Coppa Italia for Napoli. The Pole does it as he holds his composure, stroking his effort into the bottom-right corner. 2-4.

Apply common sense.. ๐ฏ When do you see him starting a penalty..? No need to debate with you guys
If you lack history, I will give you for free. The UCL final of 2008 between Chelsea and Manchester united, who took the first kick from the spot for Manchester united during the penalty shootout?? Now run along kido.

Sarri didn't have any specialities in coaching and he is totally out. He is the failure in that club!

mate you have to support a club not a player๐how many clubs you changed? utd to real from real to juve?๐i agree he is good but doesn mean you start to support his team๐else all real fan would have started supporting juve instead of real.
I am a Chelsea fan but I like Ronaldo. If juve wins, so does ronaldo. I support any club ronaldo plays for. Anybody. that likes messi will want barca to win too even if they are not a barca fan.

Many are not aware that Cristiano has never scored in any final for Portugal ๐ต๐น! In Euro2016 eder scored the only goal , in nations league benaldo Silva scored the only goal but yet we deceive ourselves that cristi won 2 international trophies for portugal ๐ต๐น. In ucl final 2014 , Ramos single handedly dragged Madrid to extra time by scoring an equalizer at stoppage time which maldrid won by pk. In ucl final 2018 cristi did not score in semi and in final but Ramos again singl handedly took Liverpool's main man Salah out to open the match for Maldrid with Bale coming from the bench to score 2 goals and win ucl for maldrid. Those of you who talk about who is a big game player, hope you can now see that you have been deceived and defrauded for a long time! In a single season ,Cristiano has lost 2 major finals ,against lazio and now against Napoli. Leaving maldrid is the biggest mistake made by Cristiano, he has been exposed very cheaply at juventus. Those who think maldrid made mistakes of allowing cr7 to go , you now see that maldrid and Perez were right but juventus was wrong in acquiring him. If cristiano fails Lyon test at second leg and crashed out of ucl , then another better challenge may be loadingโฆ. Messi is not just the best and the Goat because of 6 golden shoes, or 6 ballondor but because he has lost 6 major finals including world ๐ cup finals but never gives up ! .. Messi is mentally tougher than cristiano because he has tasted more successes and more defeat than cristiano who is only used to success but now has to taste little of defeat. Let see how Cristiano will react to this. Sorry folks !๐๐ป๐๐พ๐

Well said bro,Ronaldo is attention seeker.he wanted to take last penalty so he can show he win for juventus.ronaldo is fake goat like Chinese stuff u never know when itโs gonna broke or expire,,,,

My own take regarding this final, is why did Ronaldo not take the first spot kick for Juventus, since he was their regular penalty taker?? The probability of him scoring is high, and that would have given the next Juventus player the confidence to take his penalty and score. Why should Ronaldo waited to the last spot kick for Juventus, if he was not seeking for glory?? We all know the glory attached to the last spot kick, therefore, Ronaldo is a glory hunter. QED
So that report will say dt Cr7 gave Juve the trophy

2008 against Chelsea he took the first penalty n spoiled it N he doesnโt want to repeat the mistake Penalty is a decision between plays who takes first n who takes last
No you are wrong, the regular penalty taker in a team, usually take the first spot kick in shootout. He was waiting for the glory, which didn't happen.

Nah he has never been the one to create the chances. Chances have always been amde for him. At real the players around Ronaldo created his chances which made him more succesful there than at juve.

Why didn't he take the first penalty, since he is the regular penalty taker during every match for Juventus?? That would have given the next pk taker the confidence to score, The reason is simple, he wanted to take the last spot kick, in order to have all the glory attach to it. Ronaldo is a glory hunter.QED
Because he is fake goat,attention seeker like Chinese stuff,,,

I don't get why fans go mental when Ronaldo loses. it was a penalty shootout . Not a blow out loss. Everyone talks trash about him and calls him worthless when he didn't even take a spot kick. It's a team game. Juventus lost, not just ronaldo. grow up
am glad u know its a team. so never criticize Messi again

Correct your data mate.... Bernardo Silva was the best player or the torment in The Uefa Nations League as you said but the only goal of the 2019 final was scored by GUEDES (60min).

lol.. look who is talking about the shame ๐๐ the team which is holding whole career UCL as equal to cr7 .. ok now tell if your messi has more personal awards then why the heck your team still stuck on 5 UCL trophies so far ?? isn't he have no interest to make his team to win major trophies like UCL ?? No, you guys are happy with CDR, Spanish cup etc etc instead of UCL ๐๐ look cr7 has highest number of goals in UCL and without his tremendous efforts in everyknock out stages RM and Zidane would never won these many trophies for 3 years in a row and that's ain't call luck .. in fact your messi is still lucky that his team is getting ass out at every knock stage but getting personal awards that no use to his team as for his own Argentina team.. and no doubt you keep trolling cr7 and we mock messi ... tit for tat
which language did you just used in typing this nonsense?....where in part of the world are you from?

LMFAO, 90% of the comments are from Barca and Real fans. Napoli played a good game defending with all 11 players. Juve couldnโt create the space they needed. Hats off to Napoli. The best thing that can happen to Juve this summer, is selling CR7! With him on the pitch the fluidity of Juve is non existent. He has had an amazing career and can still score some goals but thatโs it!!! Overall Juve is better without him. Sell Cr7 buy a midfield and striker that have grinta!!

They had better chances but the flow of attack was by Juve. Napoli was hitting on counter attack. 2 of the 3 attacks you talk about came on 92nd minute in corner. I mean if you actually watch the game you realise Napoli was only defending.
true but juve's attack wasn't looking great tho, fans in china all wants Sarri out lol
