It was a game of suffering, we knew that it would be, especially after conceding a goal straight away from a set play. We had a few more chances with Vlahovic and Bremer, risked capitulating on the stroke of half-time too, but we then improved physically and had a good second half.
It's never easy to reach a Final, in the last three years we have played two Coppa Italia Finals. Now we must concentrate on Serie A, as we have not yet achieved Champions League qualification and this weekend it's the head-to-head with Milan.
At this moment, the games at Juventus mean a lot and these are matches that for various reasons over the last year and a half we did not play. It was not an ideal situation last year, with many things happening off the field.
This season we were fighting, well not fighting, but being up there with Inter until January and then we collapsed. The last couple of months have had a lot of pressure, we picked up few Serie A points, but still have the opportunity to lock down this Champions League spot and have reached the Coppa Italia Final.
We knew full well that elimination this evening would've had a knock-on effect for our psychology going into Saturday.
