JAKARTA - Juventus was eliminated in the quarter finals of the Coppa Italia. In the duel at the New Balance Arena Stadium, Friday, February 6, 2026 WIB early morning, Juve was forced to surrender with a landslide score of 3-0 when facing Atalanta. The victory sent Atalanta to the semifinals.
The surprise in the Coppa Italia after Juve had to admit Atalanta's superiority. The defeat in the match was indeed beyond expectations because Juve was actually on fire. They successfully beat Napoli 3-0 and in the last match they defeated Parma 4-1 so they could break into the Champions League zone after being ranked fourth.
Juve are also still in the Champions League despite having to play a playoff for a ticket to the last 16 after drawing 0-0 against Monaco in the last match of the qualifying phase.
Luciano Spalletti's team showed consistency so that Juve is believed to remain solid even though it is not strengthened by Kenan Yildiz, striker Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik who are still injured.
Without Vlahovic and Milik, the Bianconeri rely entirely on Jonathan David as a centre forward. He is supported by Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie and Francisco Conceicao.
Meanwhile, Atalanta lost pillar player Ademola Lookman who joined Atletico Madrid to start a new adventure in Spain's LaLiga. After no Lookman, Atalanta relied on Gianluca Scamacca as the spearhead. He was supported by Giacomo Raspadori who returned to play after being rested in the previous match.
The match itself, which was a repeat of the 2021 and 2024 Coppa Italia finals, was fierce and both teams played openly. Juve had threatened La Dea's defense with a volley from Khephren Thuram who greeted Conceicao's pass. Only, the efforts of Marcus Thuram's younger brother, Inter Milan striker, have not produced results.
Furthermore, David's header was also fruitless. Juve got another chance to score through Conceicao. At least this Portuguese midfielder has two good chances that failed to convert into goals. Including his hard kick which still hit the goalpost.
When Juve played more aggressively, they conceded due to Gleison Bremer's mistake who touched the ball in the penalty box. It started with a cross from midfielder Ederson which led to the goal. However, the ball turned around because it hit Bremer's hand.
Ederson did not realize that Bremer's hand touched the ball so he did not raise his hand that a foul occurred. However, the referee then reviewed the incident via VAR. As a result, Bremer was declared a handball and the referee pointed to the white spot. Scamacca completed the execution after his hard shot defeated goalkeeper Mattia Perin.
The goal created in the 27th minute gave Atalanta a 1-0 lead. In the losing position, Juve actually continued to play offensively to equalize the score. McKennie got the chance to score, but he failed to finish the opportunity. The score remained until the first half ended.
Entering the second half, Juve continued to play aggressively. Only the solid and efficient play of the hosts made La Vecchia Signora difficult to break through Marco Carnesecchi's goal.
On the other hand, Atalanta managed to increase the lead through Kamaldeen Sulemana's shot in the 77th minute. Receiving a cross from Raoul Bellanova, he finished it which brought Atalanta ahead 2-0.
The goal seemed to kill Juve's power. They had lost the spirit of chasing. Moreover, Atalanta then added another goal in the 85th minute. This time Mario Pasalic who received the ball from Nikola Krstovic successfully broke into the Juve goal.
The score changed 3-0 for Atalanta. There were no additional goals from the team coached by Raffaele Palladino. Meanwhile, Juve couldn't score at all until the end of the match.
The result makes Atalanta successful in avenging the defeat in the two Coppa Italia finals. Atalanta also advanced to the semifinals to face Bologna or Lazio.
