What They're Saying
Lazio manager Stefano Pioli (via Football Italia): "This is a one-off final, so we mustn't even consider the two Serie A defeats against Juventus this season. We must play like Lazio, which means being focused, determined and proving we've learned our lessons from previous games. We know that we cannot afford certain mistakes again. We want to win the final. Is this the most important match of my management career? Certainly. It's my first final and I am enjoying it."
Juventus manager Giorgio Chiellini (via Football Italia): "We were talking about this with Gigi Buffon and Claudio Marchisio. We've been through so much that it's wonderful and right that we should enjoy a game like this. I still remember playing against Rimini, Frosinone, Crotone. Now, we're in two finals and those experiences represent further motivation."
