A late strike from Arkadiusz Milik, assisted by Timothy Weah, propelled Juventus into the Coppa Italia final, securing a 3-2 aggregate victory over Lazio despite a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their semi-final clash on Tuesday.

Despite Juventus claiming a 2-0 victory in the first leg at home, Valentín Castellanos leveled the tie for Lazio with two goals by the 48th minute of the second leg.

However, Milik, coming on as a substitute, secured Juventus's final berth with a close-range finish seven minutes from time.

This victory marks Juventus's advancement to their 22nd Coppa Italia final, with the club boasting a record 14-time triumph in the competition, their latest in the 2020–21 season.

"Lazio had to turn the game around; it was normal to expect aggression," Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri told a press conference. "After the 2-0 score at the start of the second half we improved and we got the result against an excellent Lazio. [But] we should have scored first.

"Today was an important match. Our elimination would have led to a dangerous psychological repercussion given that we are not yet mathematically [qualified for] the Champions League."

Lazio wasted no time reigniting hopes of overturning the deficit from the first leg as Castellanos soared above the Juventus defence, nodding home a Luis Alberto corner to give the hosts the lead in the 12th minute.

Just before halftime, Castellanos had another chance to extend Lazio's lead, but his low shot was thwarted by Juventus keeper Mattia Perin.

However, Castellanos capitalized on a pass from Alberto early in the second half, slotting the ball past Perin to level the tie.

Juventus responded with urgency, and Dusan Vlahovic came close to scoring twice before Milik's decisive goal.

Milik found the back of the net from close range after being set up by Weah, who received a long cross from Filip Kostic.

The victory secures Juventus a spot in the final, where they will await the winner of the Atalanta vs. Fiorentina semifinal.

The final showdown is scheduled to take place at the Stadio Olimpico on May 15th.
