LIVE Italian Cup | Juventus-Cagliari: follow the round of 16 live

It’s Italian Cup time for Davide Nicola’s Cagliari who, after the honorable defeat at Unipol Domus against league leaders Atalanta 0-1, face another big Serie A team: Thiago Motta’s Juventus. A fascinating challenge for the rossoblù, but at the same time a useful opportunity both to continue their journey in the competition and to put important minutes into the legs of those who have played less in the Sardinian squad so far.
