Tonight’s triumph makes it eight trophies in four years for Massimiliano Allegri in charge of Juventus and the ninth is surely just around the corner.

“We’ve written another chapter in Juventus’ history and now is the time to celebrate,” said the Bianconeri coach after celebrating yet another piece of silverware. “The lads put in an extraordinary performance and deserved the victory. They showed technical quality and mental strength in the game, gifting another night to remember to the fans.

“We should compliment AC Milan,” continued the coach, “because they played well, especially in the first half where we didn’t have much space. However, the game opened up afterwards and when Juve play this like it’s hard for any team to cope. Winning our fourth Coppa Italia in a row wasn’t easy after a difficult and sapping season. Now we have to wrap up the league title.”

“It’s great to see how happy our fans are and how proud they are of us. It was a big target and we stood up to the plate in a powerful way because Juve are made to do special things. There are guys in our squad who have made history in Italian football; we’re trying to follow in their footsteps. Now let’s win the Scudetto. My brace? After my error for [Kalidou] Koulibaly’s goal, people were writing that I was rubbish. I wanted to give a response because I was hurt for a few days after that mistake.”

GONZALO HIGUAIN

“I’m over the moon after winning the Coppa Italia again, the fourth this great side has won. Now let’s finish the season in the best possible way, by winning the Scudetto!”

DOUGLAS COSTA

“What a great evening. I’m ecstatic about my goal but mainly about the team’s performance.”

MIRALEM PJANIC

“A team that wins seven Scudetto titles and four Coppa Italia trophies in a row is an example for everyone else. We wanted to win tonight and it wasn’t easy: AC Milan are a good side but we showed we had that little bit extra. We’re a strong team and we want to continue to win. In the league we battled against a great Napoli team that gave us a run for our money, but this run of successes is extraordinary. Maybe we don’t realise what we’re doing: you think it’s easy, but we put in a great deal of sacrifice for our objectives. It will be the same next year, but now let’s celebrate.”


CLAUDIO MARCHISIO

“There was everything in this victory, also because we’ve come to the end of the season a bit tired. However, we played fantastically tonight and the result shows it. We dealt with this final perfectly.”

FEDERICO BERNARDESCHI

“I’m pleased, it’s been a great evening. It was a superb game, we were dominant and did what we do best. It’s not easy to create this kind of winning cycle. This is a formidable Juventus team that has shown what this club is about.”
