Imagine Gianluigi Buffon - at the age of 42 - emerging as Juventus' hero in the penalty shootout to decide the Coppa Italia.

What a story that would be.

Penalties are looming and Napoli make a double change.

Brazilian midfielder Allan and Albania defender Elseid Hysaj are on, Fabian Ruiz and Mario Rui off.

Mario Rui goes straight into the referee's notebook for an illegal challenge on Paulo Dybala. Napoli need to keep their composure in the closing stages.

Time is running out and Juve are making another change.

Miralem Pjanic is replaced by Federico Bernardeschi.

Napoli have had more shots - as well as shots on target - as their opponents. It's not often Juve are out-gunned.

And still Napoli carve out chances.

it's a fine team move and it ends with substitute Arkadiusz Milik blazing over after doing well to get away from his marker.

This was never going to be a goal-fest was it? Who's in the mood for a penalty shootout?

Another save by Juve's veteran keeper as Gianluigi Buffon keeps out Matteo Politano's attempt the edge of the box. Comfortable for the 42-year-old.

Maurizio Sarri has seen enough and makes his first change.

Defender Danilo is on for Douglas Costa.

Two changes for Napoli - Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens off, Matteo Politano and Arkadiusz Milik on.

A reminder that there is no extra time if this match finishes level. The most recent Coppa Italia final to be decided on penalties was in 2009.

Lazio defeated Sampdoria 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra time in Rome.

Another good opening for Napoli goes to waste.

It's a great build-up before Fabian Ruiz turns on the edge of the box and fires wide.

These misses could prove costly.

It's starting to get a bit tetchy and Diego Demme needs medical treatment but he's not too happy that he has to leave the pitch to receive it.

This is set up for Cristiano Ronaldo to pop up with a worldie, isn't it?

We've had some meaty challenges but nothing too over the top.

However, Juve's Leonardo Bonucci is shown the final's first yellow card after a blatant foul.

Napoli have been very well organised at the back. Juventus have been popping balls into the penalty area from both flanks but they have been dealt with.

Will Aaron Ramsey make it on the pitch?

Imagine the scenes if he comes on and scores the winner!

Determinded start as Lorenzo Insigne, who has looked threatening for Napoli, volleys over the bar. It wouldn't have counted anyway - he was offside.

No changes by either side.

A reminder that there will be penalties if the scores are level after 90 minutes.

And off we go.

Where is the impressive Coppa Italia trophy heading?

Gianluigi Buffon has made two big saves.

Forty-two and still going strong.

We're about to get under way again.
