Talking about the match, Juventus opened the scoring through Dejan Kulusevski, who netted a curler from close range in the 31st minute. All seemed to have worked well for Juventus till the 41st minute when Ruslan Malinovskiy put Atalanta back into the game with a stunning strike past the defenders and finally Buffon in goal.
But Federico Chiesa, who arrived at Juventus from Fiorentina last year finally found the back of the net in the 73rd minute. He was denied earlier in the second half but the Italian didn't miss this time around, finding the bottom left corner of the net.
That moment effectively sealed the victory and effectively the title for Juventus, for whom this victory is sure to bring some joy after what has been a turbulent season. It can also signal the start of a dominating run--that they are used to having--in Italian football. Till then, Juventus fans would surely be celebrating hard and long with their club winning Copa Italia for the 14th time. And they would also be delighted and relaxed to understand that Ronaldo, might just be wanting to stay with them until the end.
