Crotone is actually one of the most in-form teams in Serie A right now: 3 wins, 2 draws in last 5 games. They are still in tight race to save themselves from relegation.
As for the Coppa, Lazio is really strong. They are probably the most organised and balanced side in Serie A after us. The way the dismantled Roma recently is really a textbook lesson in tactics.
So it won't be a walk in the park in these last games as some people think.
Lets not seek excuses. We have 8 times the talent. We can murder them eternally over the wings and Bonucci+alvesw will find new and exciting ways to find dybala, directly or via Higuain
Not winning is a huge disappointment. No two ways about it
A top team needs to perform when the time is there. A final is as much "there" as it gets.
I wouldnt worry much about Crotone as if we play at 70% we should still be able to beat them comfortably but we need to play with determination not like we played vs Roma when we looked like we will try to win but we are more concentrated about saving our strength...
As for Juve Lazio - This is Lazio`s Tare`s words (I simply love it and I agree even if we have one more game to prove it..)
“We’re not starting handicapped, we’re playing at home, although Juve are currently the best team in Europe, no doubt."

the last 2 times we played well against any italian opponent was against milan at home (10th march), and the coppa semi 1st leg 2nd half against napoli (28th february). we pretty much cruised through the serie a matches ever since, and with our commanding lead, i guess we lost a lot of motivation, too. now we'll need some effort, especially with khedira & pjanic missing this match. as we weren't sharp since forever, i expect us to struggle pretty hard, and i'm pretty sure we'll concede.
Hmm, i can see us beeing very sharp after the defeat. The trebble possibility must also give additional boost

We better win the CL and seal the scudetto as well..
CI is the least important title.. Scudetto is a must and we will win it and CL is something that is missing here for a long time so its about time for it.. CI?! It would be nice to get a treble but honestly I wouldnt be too disappointed if we dont win it as on a scale of 1 to 10 when 10 is the most important - The CI is nothing more than a 1 for me.. I rather we win it but dont really care if we dont..
