Juventus captain Danilo says winning the Coppa Italia will change the season.

Juve meet Atalanta in the final on Wednesday night.

Danilo said: “Winning the final would change the definition of our season.

“We managed to cross the line for the Champions League, but a trophy would be a reward for our resilience and the teamwork that we show on a daily basis.

“In football and in life, you always have to look forward to new challenges. It will be a special match for me and the team, it's something we can achieve together, and it would be nice to write a piece, albeit a small piece, of Juventus history.

“Atalanta are having a great season, they have strong players and an expert coach. We have to respect that. But since 2012, Juve has reached 20 finals and that also deserves respect.

“Let's focus on the present, it's obviously a final and anything can happen. Atalanta have their merits, but we don't feel any less important than them."
