Cristiano Ronaldo never had a chance.

Arkadiusz Milik converted the decisive spot kick in a penalty shootout as Napoli won their sixth Coppa Italia following a 0-0 draw behind closed doors with Juventus in Rome on Wednesday.

Ronaldo was likely Juventus’ last penalty taker but after Paulo Dybala had his shot saved and Danilo blasted high over the goal, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner could only stand at midfield and watch as Napoli won the shootout 4-2.

The game went straight to penalties without extra time being played - a precautionary measure for players still getting back into shape in only their second match of the restart.

After a break of more than three months, soccer restarted in Italy last week with the second legs of the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

The final was originally scheduled for May 13th.

Serie A resumes on Saturday.
