Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus will now undoubtedly finish the season in a poorer fashion than they did last year under Andrea Pirlo and the pressure is on ahead of the Coppa Italia final.
Following the painful 2-1 loss to Genoa on Friday, the Bianconeri can only finish the season with a maximum of 75 points now, three lower than what Pirlo’s team finished with last campaign. Both this season and last, Juventus were knocked out of the Champions League in the Round of 16 stage, so Allegri failed to improve on that front either.
Pirlo did manage to secure the Coppa Italia last year and now Allegri has the chance to match that, although he’ll have to overcome Simone Inzaghi’s hungry Inter. Winning the cup wouldn’t fully salvage the disappointing season, but it would at least give the fans something to smile about ahead of the next campaign.
Should Allegri fail to guide Juventus to Coppa Italia glory next week, the Bianconeri will fail to win a trophy for the first time in a decade.
