MLS All-Star opponent Juventus capture fourth straight Coppa Italia crown

Juventus celebrate a goal against Milan in the 2018 Coppa Italia final

When the MLS All-Stars meet Juventus in Atlanta on August 1 in the 2018 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target, they will be facing the four-time defending Coppa Italia champions.


The Old Lady was decisive in their cup final win, beating AC Milan, 4-0, Wednesday at Stadio Olimpico in Rome for their 13th title overall.


After a scoreless first half, Moroccan center back Medhi Benatia struck for a brace, Brazilian winger Douglas Costa added a goal and an own goal by Crotian forward Nikola Kalinic in the 76th minute sealed the title for Juventus, who didn’t concede a goal in wins over Genoa (2-0 Round of 16), Torino (2-0 quarterfinals) and Atalanta (2-0 aggregate semifinals) en route to the crown.


Juve are also in pole position to capture a seventh consecutive Serie A title, needing just a point from their final two matches to win the Italian league for the 34th time in their history.
