Kalidou Koulibaly won his battle against Cristiano Ronaldo in Coppa Italia finals on Wednesday. As Napoli overcame Juventus during penalties session (5-3). 0-0 full time.
The Senegalese centre-back didn’t give CR7 time during the game. As the five time Ballon d’or winner was followed everywhere by former Metz defender.
After a 0-0 scoreline in full time, Genaro Gattuso team completed the job during penalties session. Following the failures of Dybala and Danilo in the Old Lady team.
The 28-year-old then tweeted some celebratory mood messages on social network.
“Finals are meant to be won. Huge excitement. I am happy. Napoli deserved a beautiful win like this one.” ex-Genk defender wrote.
This is the second trophy of Koulibaly since that of SuperCoppa Italiana in 2014. Being linked several times to a move in next transfer window, this title could help Aurelio De Laurentis convincing the Saint-Dié-des-Vosges born to stay in Italia top-tier a few years more.
