Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi: Handball changed Coppa destiny

Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi was left frustrated by their Coppa Italia final defeat to Juventus.

Juve won 2-0 thanks to goals from Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci.

"We are talking about the Champions League Finalists, but tonight they were up against a Lazio side that had its say and was unlucky," Inzaghi told Rai Sport.

“In the first half, there was a handball to turn it on to the upright and that could've changed the game. A Final is decided by incidents and tonight the incidents did not go our way."

He added: “My lads were extraordinary this season and it was a very good performance this evening. It was an emotional night, we have to thank the fans and with a little bit more luck it could've gone differently. My players had a great season."
