Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain defeated Atalanta and Monaco respectively on Wednesday to win the Italian and French cups.
Juventus beat Atalanta 2-1 to win the Italian Cup on Wednesday as Italian fans returned to the stadium for the first time in over a year.
Goals from Dejan Kulusevski after half an hour and Federico Chiesa with 15 minutes to go gave Andrea Pirlo’s Juventus their second trophy of the season after the Italian Super Cup.
Ruslan Malinovskyi had pulled a goal back for the Bergamo side who were denied their first major trophy since 1963.
A total of 4,300 fans were allowed into a stadium for the first time since the coronavirus lockdown in March 2020.
Elsewhere, Paris Saint-Germain won the French Cup on Wednesday after beating Monaco 2-0 in the final at the Stade de France.
Goals from Mauro Icardi and Kylian Mbappe won a largely uninspiring final and mean PSG can end the season with the domestic league and cup double.
The French champions have now won the French Cup six times in the last seven seasons having reached the final every year since 2015.
It was also the second trophy of coach Mauricio Pochettino’s managerial career after he won the Champions Trophy for PSG in January.
Monaco meanwhile continue their wait to win the French Cup for the first time since 1991, when they last reached the final.
