Napoli has little to report: Atalanta celebrates Pessina and the finals

The final of the Coppa Italia 2021 is certain: Top club Juventus will compete with Atalanta Bergamo. The Lombards did not let anything burn in the second leg against last year’s winner Napoli and achieved a 3: 1 with a convincing performance.

Clear thing against Napoli: Atalanta regular Robin Gosens screams with joy at Matteo Pessina.

As coach of SSC Napoli, Gennaro Gattuso has been under severe pressure for a short time because the team crashed to 6th place after poor performance in Serie A – and has now also retired from the Coppa Italia as the reigning cup winner.

After the 0-0 win against Atalanta Bergamo a week ago, a clear 1: 3 followed this time in Lombardy. The defense of the southern Italians presented itself completely overwhelmed, especially in the first 45 minutes, consequently scored two goals worth seeing via distance crackers from Zapata (10th) and after a strong combination over the German international Gosens, Zapata and 2-0 shooter Pessina (16. ). Because apart from a few brave final attempts by captain Insigne nothing really worked offensively, it stayed at 0: 2 at the break.

Lozano briefly creates tension

The only ray of hope for the guests from the idyllic holiday region of Campania was the phase immediately after the restart, when the team created pressure and, after a Gollini parade that was too short, came to the 1: 2 connection via Staustler von Lozano (53rd).

Final! Pessina puts the lid on

However, this goal did not particularly steel the chest, although the southern Italians only needed one more goal to reach the final after winning the title in 2020 (4: 2 iE against Juve). Rather, from then on the simply stronger Atalanta took over the scepter again, pushed, came through Joker Ilicic, Gosens and Zapata to further chances – and made everything clear in the 78th minute by the man of the evening. The offensive midfielder Pessina tied up the double pack after a fine combination with a casual chip, and also shot his team into the final of the Coppa Italia 2021. Opponent there: Top club Juventus around Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the ticket with a 0-0 win against Inter the day before had solved.
