This trophy holds a lot of weight, as Max Allegri can make history by becoming the first Coach to ‘retain’ the Double, having already won the Scudetto and Coppa Italia last season.
 
For Milan, a victory is the only chance to qualify for the Europa League next term, as otherwise their spot will go to sixth-placed Serie A finishers Sassuolo.
 
That’s why Sassuolo fans are crowding into the town square tonight to cheer on Juve as they watch the game on giant screens.
 
Milan are missing Luca Antonelli and Ignazio Abate due to injury, so Mattia De Sciglio and youth team player Davide Calabria take the full-back roles.
 
Coach Cristian Brocchi’s job is on the line too and he shelves the trequartista system for a 4-3-3 formation with Bonaventura and Keisuke Honda fanning out around Bacca.
 
Juventus have Leonardo Bonucci suspended for the Final, while Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Martin Caceres are injured.
 
Norberto Neto retains the gloves, as he has done throughout the tournament, and Daniele Rugani steps into the back three, but with Andrea Barzagli moving to the centre.
 
Hernanes and Mario Lemina get rare starts in midfield with Paul Pogba.
 
Mandzukic celebrates his 30th birthday today and partners Paulo Dybala.
