Napoli vs Juventus: The best-combined XI of the 2020 Coppa Italia finals. Sachin Bhat FOLLOW. Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty on Italian football’s return but The goalless draw proved enough for Juve to progress on away goals courtesy of a stoppage-time Ronaldo penalty in a 1-1 draw at the San Siro almost four months ago.The Portugal forward hit the post from the spot 16 minutes into the game but the match turned in the home side’s favour again six seconds later when the Croatian striker Ante Rebic caught Danilo with a chest-high studs-showing challenge, for which he was sent off.There was little in the way of goalmouth action, although Milan stepped up their efforts as the game progressed without creating many openings. Way to rub it in, I was already feeling the fomo because of the best carbonara, buffala mozzerella and suppli I’ve ever had in … Napoli held their nerve to claim a first major trophy in six seasons by beating Juventus 4-2 in a penalty shootout in the Coppa Italia final.Arkadiusz Milik scored the winning spot-kick after Paulo Dybala had seen his first for Juve saved, before team-mate Danilo blazed the second over.This followed a hard-fought 0-0 over 90 minutes of few chances, played behind closed doors at the Stadio Olimpico.It gives Napoli boss Gennaro Gattuso his first major trophy as a manager.However, for his opposite number Maurizio Sarri it is another lost piece of potential silverware.So far in his career - which included a transformational three-year spell at Napoli that saw them regularly challenge for the title - Sarri has just last season's Europa League to his name, from his one campaign with Chelsea.And while his side currently top Serie A, they are far from assured of securing a ninth straight title and his first trophy on home soil, with their lead over second-placed Lazio just one point.With the Coppa Italia semi-final second legs and final serving as a precursor to the return of the Italian top-flight, it was clear over 90 minutes that neither side is yet fully up to speed.There was little to truly get excited about, although Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne did strike the post with a superb free-kick before Juve's legendary 42-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was forced into a smart save to deny Diego Demme from close range.Arguably the best moment of normal time came with just seconds remaining, as Buffon was forced into another decent save to parry a Nikola Maksimovic header from a corner before Eljif Elmas somehow conspired to fire his follow-up against the post.That took us to the shootout, which Juve handed to Napoli courtesy of two initial failures.The first spot-kick from Dybala was at a perfect height for Alex Meret to push away, while the second was woefully dispatched over the bar by Danilo.With Insigne, Matteo Politano and Maksimovic all scoring, it left Milik to seal the success, which he did with a coolly-taken effort into the bottom corner.The Italian won the World Cup, Champions League and Serie A as a midfielder, but his transition to coaching has been largely underwhelming.The closest he had previously come to silverware was in this competition in 2017 when he led AC Milan to the final but was on the receiving end of a 4-0 loss to Juve.He replaced Carlo Ancelotti at Napoli in December with the squad in freefall and players at loggerheads with club management after refusing to take part in a week-long training camp.But results in the league picked up in January and he has now guided the club to their first trophy since winning the Coppa Italia in 2014, setting up a potentially brighter future both for them and himself.In keeping with this, they were also boosted earlier on Wednesday when all-time top scorer Dries Mertens signed a new contract until 2022.They are way off the pace in Serie A - 24 points behind Juve in sixth place - but having come so close to a trophy in the last few seasons they will see this interrupted campaign as a success. The 2020-21 Coppa Italia Final is reportedly scheduled for May 19 at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan, commonly known as San Siro. ANALYST Modified 16 Jun 2020… History was made as Juve will play either Napoli or Internazionale in the final with the Naples side 1-0 up going into their home leg.In Spain Granada beat Getafe 2-1 courtesy of Carlos Fernández’s 79th-minute goal before Valencia were denied by a Levante equaliser in the eighth minute of injury time in a dramatic finale at the Mestalla.
