Aaron Ramsey was a losing finalist in the Coppa Italia final as Juventus lost 4-2 on penalties to Napoli following a goalless match.

Ramsey was a substitute and made a nine-minute outing for Juve having replaced former Chelsea man Juan Cuadrado in the 85th minute.

The Welshman also successfully converted his penalty but was helpless to stop Napoli from winning the Cup after teammates Danilo and Paulo Dybala missed their spot-kicks.

He was making his first appearance for the Italian giants since their 2-0 win over Inter Milan in March.

The 29-year-old was absent in Juventus’ second leg victory over AC Milan last week.

Ramsey has four goals and one assist in 24 games for Juve this season, since arriving from Arsenal on a free transfer last summer.
