Stefan Radu felt the only difference between Juventus and Lazio in the Coppa Italia Final was “luck.”

He had opened the scoring after four minutes, cancelled out by Giorgio Chiellini to force extra time.

Filip Djordjevic incredibly hit both uprights with the same shot, then moments later Alessandro Matri secured the winner.

“In my view we had a great performance and played on a par with the team in the Champions League Final, who eliminated Real Madrid,” the defender told Rai Sport.
“With a bit of luck, Djordjevic’s shot would’ve put us in front in extra time. Unfortunately we don’t have much luck.”

Lazio surprised Juve initially by adopting a 3-4-3 formation.

“We found out we were playing three at the back around two or three days ago. If we look at the second half against Samp, we played with three at the back and did well there. Maybe that helped towards the decision.”

Radu limped off with a muscular problem and is now a doubt for the Derby della Capitale, which is decisive for second place.

“For the moment I don’t feel great, but hopefully tomorrow the test results will be positive.

“We will certainly do everything for me to be ready against Roma on Monday, but we cannot say for sure yet.”
