1'
We are underway in the first half in Rome! Milan and Juventus will be looking to end their respective campaigns in the most impressive fashion possible, but given their form in the league the Bianconeri are the favourites.
TEAM NEWS: Cristian Zapata partners Alessio Romagnoli at centre-back, with young Davide Calabria starting at right-back. Andrea Poli will offer some industrious work alongside Riccardo Montolivo in midfield, with Keisuke Honda and Giacomo Bonaventura in the wide areas. Carlos Bacca starts alone up top, with Jan Kucka playing off him.
Over the course of the top-flight campaign, Milan amassed a whole 34 less points than the Bianconeri, which shows the potential gulf in class between these two sides. What the Rossoneri do boast, however, is 18-goal striker Carlos Bacca. This promises to be a very interesting clash indeed.
In the semi-final stages, the Bianconeri nearly fell apart, requiring a penalty shoot-out win to go through against Inter. The Old Lady surrendered a 3-0 aggregate lead against Roberto Mancini's men, but scraped through to tonight by the skin of their teeth. Milan, meanwhile, will want a trophy to make up for another disappointing top-flight campaign.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Coppa Italia final, as Milan come up against Juventus at Stadio Olimpico. Massimiliano Allegri's men will look to complete the double tonight, which would have been unthinkable months ago after a terrible start to their Serie A campaign. Cristian Brocchi is currently in charge for the Rossoneri, with silverware promising to put a feather in his managerial cap.
Milan starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Calabria, Zapata, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Montolivo, Poli; Honda, Kucka, Bonaventura; Bacca.
Milan substitutes: Diego Lopez, Mauri, Mexes, Menez, Luiz Adriano, Niang, Abbiati, Alex, Balotelli, Boateng, Locatelli, Bertolacci.
TEAM NEWS: Neto is given a chance in between the sticks, with Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini and Daniele Rugani compensating for the absence of Leonardo Bonucci. Patrice Evra is preferred to Alex Sandro as left wing-back, with Stephan Lichtsteiner deputising for the benched Juan Cuadrado. Mario Lemina and Hernanes rotate into the midfield, with Mario Mandzukic offering a physical presence alongside Paulo Dybala up top.
HALF-TIME! Juventus and Milan go into the break goalless, with the latter unable to capitalise on a fantastic start in Rome. Bonaventura has gone closest, with the Bianconeri only able to come into the contest during the last 20 minutes of play. Finally, however, it looks as though Allegri's men will be able to make a game of this after the interval.
FULL-TIME! Pogba fires straight at Donnarumma, signalling the end of 90 minutes in Rome. This one is going the full length of 120 minutes, with the Coppa Italia still all to play for.
Kucka blasts terribly over the crossbar, signalling the half-way point in extra-time. Only 15 minutes stand between these two sides and penalties.
FULL-TIME! Juventus have won the Coppa Italia! That completes a domestic brace for the Old Lady, with a solitary extra-time strike from substitute Morata enough to secure the silverware for Allegri's men. Milan gave a great account of themselves, but a lack of killer instinct ultimately cost them. That's all that we have time for, we hope to see you again next time.
