Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Cristiano Ronaldo picked up his only trophy for Juventus this season and the striker showed that it meant a lot to me when slept off with his arms wrapped around the silverware.
The Bianconeri have had a difficult campaign under new manager Andrea Pirlo with their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hanging in the balance.
There was still something to smile about when the Old Lady defeated Serie A rivals 2-1 in the Coppa Italia final.
Juve were beaten in last season's final by Napoli but did not allow history to repeat itself with Dejan Kulusevski and Federico Chiesa scoring in each half of the match.
Ronaldo did not find the back of the net but it did not matter as Juventus won the Coppa Italia in style at the Stadio Mapei, home ground of Serie A club Sassuolo.
