Juventus in the final of the Italian Cup for the fourth consecutive time

Lazio or AC Milan anticipate in the last after Miralem Pjanic's spot kick saw Juventus see off Atalanta's stiff-necked Coppa Italia challenge. 

Juventus remained in dispute for a fourth back to back residential twofold as Miralem Pjanic's second-half punishment fixed a 1-0 prevail upon Atalanta, finishing off a 2-0 total triumph in the Coppa Italia semi-last. 

It was a long way from plain cruising for Massimiliano Allegri's men, with Atalanta the better side at an early stage before Alejandro Gomez struck the post, nearly promoting upon a strange slip by from Gianluigi Buffon. 

Gomez neglected to change over a spot-kick in the underlying experience and saw a noteworthy show go unrewarded on this event. 

Pjanic was reserved in first-half stoppage time for making a plunge the region be that as it may, when an all the more clear foul was conferred by Gianluca Mancini on Blaise Matuidi, he committed no error. 

Allegri will recognize this was not a show to live long in the memory at the same time, with a retaining title tussle amongst Napoli and Juve ready to go to the wire, his men made another stride towards their most recent bit of history. 

Atalanta fell behind to a Gonzalo Higuain objective inside three minutes in the principal leg however made an ambitious begin at the Allianz Stadium – three days on from substantial snowfall causing the sides' Serie A gathering to be delayed. 

Quick to make up from his first leg punishment miss, Gomez drove the Atalanta charge and sent a plunging shot on to the top of the veteran goalkeeper's net. 

The Atalanta skipper's playmaking abilities were to the fore right off the bat and he started a thirteenth moment move before dashing into the crate and nudging Josip Ilicic's cross excessively near Buffon. 

Matuidi nearly got on the finish of Pjanic's risky free-kick, apparently doing what's needed to animate a dreary Juve begin as Allegri's men stuck Atalanta back. 

Etrit Berisha stood firm 10 minutes before half-time to deny Mario Mandzukic – beginning at focus forward in Higuain's proceeded with lower leg damage nonattendance - and the meeting goalkeeper scooped Douglas Costa's twisting shot to security, having been somewhat unsighted. 

Experienced midfielder Claudio Marchisio was the following Juve player to test Berisha ahead of schedule in the second time frame. 

A constant flow of weight from the Serie A champions seemed set to remove the tie from Atalanta however they nearly leveled the total score in wonderful conditions following 64 minutes. 

Gomez kept running on to the ball 35 yards from objective and discovered Buffon mysteriously way out of his ground, lifting a shot past the stranded 40-yard-old that returned off the post. 

Atalanta's captain at that point bored a scratching exertion over from the edge of the crate before the ball was in Costa's court to shake the ban from comparable range at the opposite end, with a sweetly struck left-footed endeavor. 

Juventus at long last had their breathing space 15 minutes from time after Mancini unnecessarily pulled Matuidi to ground inside the crate and Pjanic succeeded where Gomez fizzled from 12 yards.
