\"Alla Juventus vincere non è importante. È l'unica cosa che conta.\"
As things tend to happen when your season suddenly goes to hell and a major season-defining loss happens to likely cost you a whole lot of money with no Champions League, stories of this ilk tend to come out. And it’s no surprise that after Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Fiorentina that saw Juventus drop from […]
It was all so simple. Now, it’s anything but. Juventus’ 2-0 loss to Fiorentina on Sunday afternoon was a choke-job, pure and simple. Facing a team that over the last month had recorded three draws — producing precisely one goal over those three games — and a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Roma, the […]
Sunday will go down in the history of Juventus — and not in a good way. Juventus’ 2-0 loss to Fiorentina in their home finale for the 2025-26 season almost certainly cost them a spot in next year’s Champions League. All the impacts of the result are still yet to be felt, but the reality […]
Juventus’ job was clear. Win their final two games, both of which would see them enter as favorites, and they would be guaranteed Champions League football next season. On Sunday afternoon, against a Fiorentina team that was in the relegation spots for much of the season and hadn’t won a game in a month, they […]
The situation for Juventus was very simple on Sunday afternoon: You win and you enter the final week of the 2025-26 season with your Champions League fate completely in your hands. After the 2-0 loss to Fiorentina, that same Champions League fate is now completely out of Juve’s hands. The result of it and the […]
There are days when I don’t want to write these. This is one of those days. It’s not because of you, the wonderful and loyal reader. It’s because of Juventus. It’s because of Serie A. And it’s because of how just absolutely self-destructive the post-2020 version of Juve has continuously proven to be. On a […]

Thirty-six long matchdays have gotten us to this point. Some of them have been good, some of them have been the opposite, a good number of them have landed somewhere in the middle, potentially with a rather apathetic feeling thrown in there, too. No matter how you try and spin another trophy-less season for Juventus, […]
A very important weekend awaits Luciano Spalletti and Juventus. Considering there’s only two more weekends left in the 2025-26 season, they’re all important these days. But with two games against teams that consider Juventus giant rivals, there will potentially be plenty of intensity on the field as Spalletti’s squad looks to wrap up Champions League […]
Millions of Juventus-supporting matriarchs received a belated Mother’s Day gift on Monday, as Bologna edged Napoli in a battle between last season’s Scudetto winners and last season’s Coppa Italia champions. Vincenzo Italiano’s side got off to a red-hot start via Federico Bernadeschi before doubling the lead via another ex-Juve winer (Riccardo Orsolini), only for Napoli […]
In the latest episode of Things Can Only Happen In Italy, Juventus and nine other clubs went into the early hours of Thursday evening still not knowing when their Matchday 37 fixture would be played. Could it be Sunday afternoon? Could it be the original lunchtime kickoff time? Could it be something different? Nobody knew! […]
Leave it to Serie A to give us one giant mess of a situation before the 2025-26 season comes to a close in a couple of weeks. And this one doesn’t involve just one or two teams. More like half of the damn league. You see, this all stems from Serie A originally moving up […]
When Luciano Spalletti took to the microphone this past weekend for his pre-match press conference ahead of Juventus playing Lecce, he opened the door to Dusan Vlahovic returning to the starting lineup for the first time since the big Serbian striker picked up an adductor injury that kept him out for close to four months. […]
As is basically the norm these days, the next season’s home kit arrives before the current campaign comes to an end. It can create an awkward situation or two — especially if you are in your new kit and don’t necessarily play all that well in it the first time or two and/or don’t achieve […]
Saturday’s game between Juventus and Lecce looked for all the world like it was going to be a thrashing. Dusan Vlahovic set a club record for quickest goal scored in a league match to put the team in the lead within 12 seconds, and in the next six minutes he nearly scored again and Francisco […]
The final two weeks of the 2025-26 season are looking to be just as they were 12 months ago. Some of that has to do with Juventus. Some of that has to do with the clubs around Juventus in the Serie A table. But put it all together and you’ve got the makings of an […]
The third-from-last game of the 2025-26 season was important for both Juventus and Lecce. Juve controlled their own destiny for Champions League qualification, needing to win all three of their remaining matches to guarantee a spot at Europe’s big table. Any slip-up, though, could see Roma, Como, or both get ahead of them in the […]
The unfortunate part of Juventus’ regression from the best in Italy a half-decade ago to whatever you want to call the 2026 version of the club is that the last month of each season has turned into an absolute grit-your-teeth moment when it comes to Champions League qualification. It has left you with the feeling […]
MATCH INFO When: Saturday, May 9, 2026. Where: Stadio Via Del Mare, Lecce, Italy. Official kickoff time: 8:45 p.m. local time in Italy and across Europe, 7:45 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, 1:45 p.m. Central time, 11:45 a.m. Pacific time. STARTING LINEUPS Juventus starting XI (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli (c), Koopmeiners; […]
With just three games to go in the 2025-26 season, Juventus have the chance to see the home stretch go one of two ways. They can either hold firm on their slim, one-point margin over fifth-place Roma (and Como in sixth place) and qualify for the Champions League. Or, they can fumble away what was […]
The fact that we’ve spent so much time analyzing, dissecting, and generally kvetching about Juventus’ attack is kind of funny considering the Bianconeri are actually third in Serie A in goals scored this season. While champions-elect Inter Milan (barf) have run away with the league lead with 82 goals, Juve’s 58 goals are only one […]
If it were easy, it wouldn’t be a Juventus season! Right after taking advantage of Como and Roma choking away fourth place in the Serie A table, Juventus had the inside track to stamp their ticket with an extremely soft schedule after a tough visit to Milan to play Max Allegri the Rossoneri. Regardless of […]
Juventus picked up where they left off by succumbing to a second straight stalemate, with Dušan Vlahović’s second-half equalizer securing a point at home against Hellas Verona this past weekend. It was a dreary display in front of goal in Turin, one that sees them now occupy fourth place with three games left, two points […]
If it wasn’t clear a few weeks ago, it certainly is now: Juventus want to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker and give manager Luciano Spalletti the experienced, safe pair of hands in goal that he hasn’t necessarily had thus far during his tenure in Turin. That pursuit of the keeper that Spalletti worked with during […]
We have our first edition of the old favorite by the name of “Juventus won’t be signing (insert player name) during the summer transfer window” well before the beginning of the actual summer transfer window arrives. And it feels like a rather predictable one, too. As much as we heard just last week that Juventus […]
