Juventus matchwinner Chiesa proud to win Coppa alongside Buffon

Juventus matchwinner Federico Chiesa was proud to win the Coppa Italia final last night against Atalanta.

Chiesa produced the winner in the second-half.

“It was a very intense Final, we have to give Atalanta credit for playing really well, but Juve showed again that experience can make the difference and we brought home the trophy," Chiesa told RAI Sport.

“It's true that we came on with a lot of intensity and hunger. Usually that's what Atalanta do, they step up a gear in the second half, but this time we did it."

He added: "Before the game, I told Gigi (Buffon) you've won plenty of trophies, but you won this with my father, now you can win it with me! He's a legend, he'll really be missed."
