Atalanta Ends Juventus's Reign in Coppa Italia After 4 Straight Titles

MILAN (AP) — Four-time defending champion Juventus lost in the Italian Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday.

Juventus is on course for a record-extending eighth successive Serie A title and had won the league and cup double in the past four seasons, but it surprisingly lost 3-0 at Atalanta.

Fiorentina will play Atalanta in the two-legged semifinal. The other match pits AC Milan against either city rival Inter Milan or Lazio, which face each other on Thursday.

Atalanta had not beaten Juventus since a 2-0 victory in the Italian Cup in 2004, with five draws and 21 defeats in all competitions since that victory.
