Add Weston McKennie and Tim Weah to the growing list of American trophy winners in Europe this season.
Both McKennie and Weah featured on Wednesday, helping Juventus down Atalanta 1-0 in the Coppa Italia Final. McKennie started and played 90 minutes in midfield while Weah came off the bench and played the final nine minutes of the match.
It marks the first Coppa Italia for Juventus since the 2020-21 season, in which McKennie was a part of.
Dusan Vlahovic delivered the opening and lone goal of the match in the fourth minute. Andrea Cambiaso’s pass allowed Vlahovic to race into the box before the Serbian fought off Isak Hien and drilled a shot into the back of the net.
Vlahovic came close to doubling Juventus’ lead in the 74th minute but VAR waved off the goal and kept Atalanta’s hopes alive. However, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side could not find an equalizer, failing to register a shot on target in the match.
McKennie celebrated his third trophy in Italian Football while Weah celebrated his first since joining from Lille last summer.
