Last night Juventus won the Italian Cup, beating Atalanta 1-0 in the final thanks to a goal from Dusan Vlahovic after 3′. The Serbian striker also scored another goal, which was however disallowed by VAR. After the match, during the celebrations, Vlahovic wanted to send a message to one of his compatriots who, like him, is experiencing a great moment: Nikola Jokic. The center is playing with the Denver Nuggets in the Conference Semifinals against Minnesota and has just taken a 3-2 lead in the series with a performance of 40 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 0 turnovers in Game 5.
“I want to send a message to Nikola Jokic. Let’s hope he manages to win Game 6 and advance to the Conference Final against one of Dallas or Oklahoma City.” Vlahovic declared to CBS. The Serbian footballer is a big fan of basketball, a sport he played as a child before dedicating himself exclusively to football.

Who knows if Jokic watched the game, knowing him he would probably have been more interested in a horse racing race. The one who certainly followed the match, supporting Juventus passionately, was Nikola Vucevic. The Chicago Bulls big man has always been a big Juventus fan and wasted no time in celebrating on X:
