Toni in a talk said that in the match against Napoli he can see the whole team struggling to keep up with the game even Cristiano Ronaldo was having difficulties on the pitch. He in the field looked like an average player.
"You expect a big performance from him but he looked like he was experiencing physical difficulties – he couldn't even dribble past a man."

Ronaldo's sister in her Instagram posted a note on defending him from the criticisms. She said that he alone can be held responsible for scoring goals and winning matches. With the loss to Napoli in the final,it marked Ronaldo's two successive loss in the finals of Coppa Italia as the club lost to Lazio in 2019.
