TURIN: Holders Juventus booked their spot in next month's Italian Cup final against Inter Milan with a 2-0 win over Fiorentina in their semifinal second leg in Turin on Wednesday to advance 3-0 on aggregate.
Juventus will have the chance to defend their Coppa Italia crown after they defeated Fiorentina 2-0 (3-0 on aggregate) to set up a place in the final against Inter. The 2021 competition winners took a 1-0 lead into the tie thanks to Lorenzo Venuti's late own-goal in the first leg and Federico Bernadeschi's first-half strike in Turin gave Juventus breathing space.
Juventus' lack of goals this sesaon is down to psychological issues rather than technical deficiencies, manager Massimiliano Allegri said on the eve of their Coppa Italia semi-final against Fiorentina on Wednesday.
Mattia Perin has signed a new deal with Juventus which will keep him in Turin until June 2025, the Serie A club announced on Thursday. The 29-year-old, who has played twice for his country, is understudy to first-choice keeper Wojciech Szczesny and has played eight times in all competitions this season.

An unfortunate own goal from second half substitute Lorenzo Venuti in injury-time sees Juventus snatch a 1-0 win over Fiorentina on Dusan Vlahovic’s return to Florence. In a game where Fiorentina looked the more likely to score, with Juventus registering just the one shot on target, Juventus snatched the victory through Venuti, setting up a finely-poised second leg in Turin on April 21.
Juventus scraped into the semifinals of the Coppa Italia with a 2-1 victory over Sassuolo and will face Fiorentina after they also struck late on to beat Atalanta 3-2 on Thursday. Juventus took the lead in the third minute when Paulo Dybala bounced home a volley. Sassuolo hit back in the 23rd minute with Hamed Traore bending a superb effort past keeper Mattia Perin. Both sides had chances in the second half but Juventus grabbed the winner in the 88th minute when Dusan Vlahovic wriggled through on the left and his shot deflected in off the arm of Ruan Tressoldi.
