Juventus' hope of capturing all three titles on offer this season remains very much intact.

The Bianconeri grabbed their first piece of silverware on Wednesday, as first-half goals from Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci were enough to secure a 2-0 triumph over Lazio, giving Massimiliano Allegri's side a third consecutive Coppa Italia crown.

The Old Lady becomes the first club in Italian history to hoist the league cup in three straight seasons, while a 12th Coppa win overall extends Juve's record tally; after not winning the tournament for two decades, Juve now looks hell-bent on keeping the trophy locked up in Turin.

Juventus will now turn its attention to Sunday's Serie A contest against Crotone, knowing that a victory will be enough to clinch a record sixth consecutive Scudetto.

Of course, the big prize will be decided on June 3, when Allegri and his men head to Cardiff for a showdown with Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
