No Double for Juve

All that talk about the third star must have affected the concentration of the Juventus players.

For one hour of gameplay it seemed that Juventus was the usual unbeaten team that Antonio Conte guided to the first title since... 2003?

But, actually, Napoli was more Juve-like than Juve, in this Coppa Italia final, and they got a penalty in the 63rd minute, after a mistake by Juventus' back-up keeper, Storari. Cavani converted coolly, and Juventus' cup challenge was not looking pretty.

Juventus was pressing more, but Napoli's counters were getting more dangerous, too. From one of this counters, Hamsik found himself relatively free in Juventus' penalty area, and he executed Storari with a well-placed shot (83).
2-0 for Napoli, and that was the final.

I guess after the impressive performance in the Champions League, where they eliminated Manchester City, and almost ousted Chelsea, too, Napoli deserved a trophy this season.
