"They were better than us in the decisive moments of the match. When you comment on a 3-0 defeat, there's not much you can say. We congratulate Palladino and Atalanta. It is a well-built team that plays good football. We made the wrong choices when the going got tough. There are moments where the ball moves around, and it's largely about statistics, but when the game gets real, you have to make the right calls, do them quickly and sharply."
"In those moments, we made the wrong choices; they made the right ones. There were spaces to send players through two-on-one, but instead we took it near the corner flag"
Juventus were beaten 3-0 by Atalanta in the Coppa Italia quarter-final at New Balance Arena despite an xG advantage of 1.9 to 1.6. Gianluca Scamacca scored a first-half penalty, while second-half substitutes Kamaldeen Sulemana and Mario Pašalić secured the win. Juventus have been eliminated at the quarter-final stage in consecutive Coppa Italia seasons for the first time since 2009–10 and 2010–11. Since the start of 2025, Juventus have lost three matches by at least a three-goal margin: twice to Atalanta and once to Fiorentina, with the last two led by Raffaele Palladino. The defeat was attributed to wrong choices in key moments and missed two-on-one opportunities.
