Juve aims for a Double Trophy
Juventus are looking to complete a double trophy once they face Lazio in the Coppa Italia finals.
It's
been 20 years since the last time they've celebrated a Coppa Italia
title. They had their chances last 2012 when Alessandro Del Piero bid
goodbye to the team. It was the game that ended with a 0-2 loss to
Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico and the closest they were in winning the
title.
Looking
at the bright side, Juventus have recorded four successive Serie A
titles and this time alongside Barcelona they are in the contention to
win the historic treble.
Meanwhile,
Lazio have won the Coppa five times, Stefano Pioii's side are sitting
on the third place at Serie A table and are in the contention for an
automatic Champions League spot behind Juve.
"We go into the Coppa Italia final, we deserved our place there," Pioli
said. "We'll be facing the best side in Italy, one of the best in
Europe, but we earned the final and want to play it.
"Juve are extra motivated by targeting the treble. Clearly we need the so-called perfect game, we are in Rome in front of our fans, so we'll give it our best.
"We have the final we were dreaming of. It can be such a big event that it could affect Serie A, so we have to keep focused."

Lazio reached the Italy Cup with a 2-1 aggregate success over Napoli,
while Juve advanced after beating Fiorentina 4-2 in two legs.
Heading to this match Alvaro Morato is currently facing a suspension after he was sent-off during the second leg of that
semi-final. While, Lazio will be without the service of Lucas Biglia, who missed the victory over Samp with a
knee problem.
Game is on May 21, 02:45 (GMT+8) at Stadio Olimpico
