The match, played at the San Siro, was the last match for Fabio Pisacane's team, which continued its series of positive results and consolidated its position in fourth place in the standings.

Regarding the pressure of the final against Juventus, Caprile explained that the possibility of losing is always present when facing a team of that caliber, but he underlined that the team remained balanced and centered even after the draw. “We showed that we wanted to bring some points home,” he added, confirming that the team remained calm and focused until the last minute.
During the question session, the goalkeeper also talked about his most difficult saves. He cited Kolo Muani's throw, which despite finishing offside, was one of his most challenging saves of the day. “The most difficult save was on Muani,” he said, highlighting his ability to handle pressure situations even when the ball is in an offside position.
