  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The United States international played the full 90 minutes for the Bianconeri as they battled their way to a 1-0 victory over Atalanta in the 2023-24 Coppa Italia final. Dusan Vlahovic netted the only goal of the contest with just four minutes on the clock.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  McKennie and Co. had to dig deep in order to get over the line, with Tim Weah also figuring for Juve off the bench – allowing him to land a first piece of silverware with the Turin giants. Understandably, there were wild scenes of celebration at the final whistle.

• WHAT MCKENNIE SAID

  McKennie has seen questions asked of his future in Italy, as he approaches the final year of his current contract, but he appears to have offered a nod towards staying on at the Allianz Stadium. After savouring Coppa Italia glory for the second time in his career, the 25-year-old posted on social media: “Not the first time and not the last time.”

• WHAT NEXT?

  That bold statement would appear to suggest that McKennie intends on sticking around and chasing down more major honours with Juve. That would rule out a summer transfer elsewhere, amid links to teams in England and Germany, while fresh terms may yet be committed to following protracted extension talks.
