Juventus hosts Fiorentina in the return of the Coppa Italia semifinals on Wednesday 20 April from 2:00 in the afternoon. The final on May 11 is at stake for both teams while Inter awaits its rival after beating Milan 3-0 in a new edition of the Derby della Madonina.
No team reached more finals or lifted more trophies than Juve, with 14 titles in 20 definitions after reaching the semifinals 33 times. For her part, Fiorentina reached the pre-grand final stage 15 times, and in 10 managed to reach the last match.
The Bianconeri reach the second match with a 1-0 lead after winning in Florence in March. A goal on the closing separated both teams, just like in the league, and Juan Cuadrado was the protagonist involved in both wins.
Juventus lost only one of their last 25 home games, winning 20 of them for Coppa Italia. The only defeat was against Fiorentina in the semifinals of the 2014/15 edition. A double by Mohamed Salah for the Viola scored Fernando Llorente's opening goal.
The team where Juan Guillermo Cuadrado was captain in some matches had a great performance on the return and won the first of four Italian Cups under the tutelage of Massimiliano Allegri. No other coach led Juve to more finals.
Allegri is back in the team and so far has three wins in three matches in the competition. In addition, he won the two matches against rival coach Vincenzo Italiano, who lost all four matches in which he faced 'vecchia signora'.
Despite that, their leaders are going through a good time, and they accumulated four wins in five matches for Serie A.
After much speculation, conversation and negotiation, 33-year-old Juan Guillermo Cuadrado will continue to play for Juventus. The club confirmed the player's renewal for another season, which means that the Colombian will continue to wear the Vecchia Signora shirt until 2023. The managers of the team can breathe easy, since the extension of the contract was one of the objectives within the staff.
Although some clubs had shown interest in Juan Guillermo Cuadrado and negotiations between the two sides had not prospered, finally, in a statement, it was confirmed that the coffee grower will remain part of the Turin team for another year. Let's remember that the Colombian signed with the Italian club in the 2015/16 season after a discreet time with Chelsea in the Premier League.
“Indissoluble. An adjective that describes something that does not end, that cannot be undone, or that cannot be broken. The relationship between Juventus and Cuadrado, between Juan and black and white can be defined with that word. Something that goes beyond the playing field, that surpasses it. And that link will continue until 2023,” the team confirmed in a statement.
