Four-time defending champions Juventus crashed out of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday with a 3-0 quarterfinal defeat by Atalanta, as AS Roma suffered a humiliating 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Fiorentina.
Juventus had been bidding for a fifth consecutive league and Cup double this season.
But a Duvan Zapata brace after Timothy Castagne’s opener put the side from Bergamo through to a semifinal meeting with Fiorentina.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus won their first trophy of the season in the Italian Super Cup this month.
But they suffered their first defeat in a domestic competition this season, as they ride high and unbeaten in Serie A.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side had come from behind against Lazio in league action at the weekend with Ronaldo snatching a 2-1 win in Rome.
The Portuguese superstar could not find a way through for a first Cup goal in Italy with Juventus also hit by defender Giorgio Chiellini going off injured in the first half-hour.
Castagne opened the scoring after 37 minutes with Zapata grabbing another two minutes later, before adding a third four minutes from time for his 17th goal in ten matches.
The Colombian ace also scored a double in a 2-2 draw when the sides last met in Serie A on December 26. (SuperSport)
