Juventus ran riot to beat blundering AC Milan 4-0 in Rome's Stadio Olimpico and lift the Italian Cup for a fourth consecutive year.

Juve are now poised to become the first Italian team to complete the league and cup double four years in a row after their 13th Italian Cup triumph.

Massimiliano Allegri's side are one point away from claiming a seventh consecutive Serie A title with two games to play and could seal it this weekend against Roma in the same Stadio Olimpico stadium.

"It's not that Juve have to win, but I'm now unfortunately used to the idea that people take our victories for granted," said Allegri last night.

"Nothing is to be taken for granted.

"The lads had an extraordinary game and deserved this win. Now we have to ensure the Scudetto mathematically and enjoy this extraordinary season."
- 'It hurts' -
==============
"Now we have two games against sides who are in better shape than us and must try to get into the Europa League with better performances than this."
"After my error ... everyone said I was useless. I felt bad for a few days, but fortunately the lads completed the job and I thank them for being close to me."
