Cristiano Ronaldo treats Georgina Rodriguez on her birthday
Juventus are through to the final of the Coppa Italia once again after a 0-0 draw with Inter Milan was enough following their win in the first leg at the San Siro when Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice. The Portuguese was all smiles on social media, and gave his team mates a special shout out.

He wrote on Instagram: “Vaaammooosss Juve! This is the spirit! THE FINAL.”
The caption was alongside a picture of the whole team celebrating in the changing rooms after the game.
Pirlo took charge of Juventus in September last year, and already has one trophy to his name, having beaten Napoli 2-0 in the 2020 Supercoppa Italiana.

But the Italian admits that he is targeting more silverware from the dugout, having won multiple titles during his iconic years at Juve and AC Milan.
“I hoped so, as a debutant it was my plan to win a Supercoppa, to reach the Final of the Coppa Italia and the last 16 of the Champions League,” said Pirlo when asked about his objectives for the season.
“As a player it was easier, it ended after the game. As a coach, you have to think about the next game immediately, you have to think for 30 different heads.
“But we haven’t achieved anything yet, now we’ll rest and prepare for Saturday’s match.”
Juve have one of the most dangerous attacks in the world, but Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala both missed the Inter clash due to fitness problems.
And ahead of the Champions League Round of 16 which starts later this month, Pirlo admitted that he hoped to be able to have the pair available to play alongside Ronaldo.
The former midfielder added: “I hope to have them available, from the start I haven’t had them available at the same time.
“Morata had a fever, Dybala still struggles with knee problems. When we have all three at our disposal, we hope to find a solution because it would increase our quality.”
