The Cup final opposed old enemies: Juventus vs Milan. In Turin, Milan managed scoreless tie and entertained high hopes for winning the trophy. However, it was not to be – to the shame of Milan, they lost the second leg at home 0-1.
Juventus won the Cup.
Milan, in all its splendor and the top club in the world, failed to win anything in Italy this season. They conquered Europe, conquered the World, but not Italy – and that was not pleasing at all for both Berlusconi and the fans.
Juventus, captained by goalkeeper Tacconi this season, was not much in the championship, but at least won the Cup. The squad was not as great as hoped to be – the Soviet imports, particularly Zavarov, were disappointing, a mistake really, and Zavarov lost his place in the starting eleven first and at the end of the season was transferred. A good, but hardly exceptional team, obviously lacking a great figure and a leader. Yet, Juventus managed to European Cup and the Italian Cup, so all was not too bad… but bad enough Dino Zoff to be out – new coach and new players were needed even with 2 cups won. As for the record – it was the 8th Italian Cup for Juventus.
