Juventus 3 – Roma 3: Initial reaction and random observations

Because I am an upstanding citizen, I will be honest with all of your for a minute: I was ready to start the process of writing Juventus’ obituary. They were down 3-1, they weren’t looking sharp by any stretch of the imagination and they were simply an squad that was plenty tired even before this […]

With the miracle unable to be pulled off and Juventus no longer in the Champions League, there is now officially one thing and one thing only for Luciano Spalletti to worry about.

Sergio’s Grab Bag: A February to forget

What a difference a couple of weeks makes, huh? Not that long ago, we were talking about the Luciano Spalletti-led Juventus looking like they were turning a corner.

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Galatasaray

Yeah, still doesn’t feel great. Juventus were so close—so close—to making some history in the second leg of their Champions League playoff tie against Galatasaray. They fought from 5-2 down on aggregate to even the tie 5-5, playing almost the entire half (and scoring two of their three goals) with 10 men on the field […]

Heartbreak for Juventus as miracle comeback falls just short vs. Galatasaray

As Wednesday dawned in Turin, Juventus was faced with this daunting statistic: of the 49 teams that had ever lost the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie by three goals, only four had ever advanced.

Juventus 3 (5) – Galatasaray 2 (7): Initial reaction and random observations

These are the ones that leave you having completely mixed feelings. And ones that you want to take about 10 days before trying to put something into words.

Champions League Preview: Juventus vs. Galatasaray

When Juventus headed into the second leg of their Champions League play-off round tie against PSV Eindhoven last season, they had every chance to qualify for the Round of 16.

Reports: Juventus, Weston McKennie close to finalizing contract extension

For months now, we’ve been wondering just how much Weston McKennie’s form would be the tipping point in Juventus deciding to offer him a new contract just a few short months before his current deal expires.

The last three Februarys for Juventus have not been very good

Over the last three Februarys, we have seen three different Juventus managers see growing positive feelings about their squad suddenly go up in smoke. Remember the talk about a potential Scudetto run at the midway point of the 2023-24 season? Nope, that didn’t happen. Maybe Motta Ball finally starting to take shape? Oops, that didn’t […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Como

By the time Juventus’ 2-0 loss to Como was over on Saturday, it was surprising that they had any more foot left to shoot themselves in. The basic mistakes that had sparked up in the second half of the midweek game against Galatasaray continued to crop up, the shaky play in goal moved into true […]

Juventus struggles continue in second loss against Como

February has been a downward slope for Juventus. It started with the team on a high, keeping a strong run of form going with a 4-1 win over Parma. From there, things got puzzling, when Juve played better than Atalanta and Lazio but ended up losing 3-0 to the former to crash out of the […]

Juventus 0 – Como 2: Initial reaction and random observations

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the midst of Juventus’ annual February crashout. It’s become an annual deal because this is not the first time. It’s not the second time.

Round 26: Juventus vs. Como match preview

At this point, the general feeling regarding Juventus’ month of February is something that doesn’t exactly involve the kind of language that the bosses would like us to write within the body of this post. You know those thoughts, however, have been expressed offline, and that the reality of Juve’s big second month of 2026 […]

Juventus ask FIGC to overturn Pierre Kalulu’s suspension, request then gets denied

In the days following Pierre Kalulu’s controversial sending off against Inter Milan last weekend, the overwhelming consensus was that Juventus and the Frenchman had been unjustly impacted by the decisions of Federico La Penna. It went so far as Italy’s refereeing chief, Gianluca Rocchi, admitting that La Penna got the call wrong and that Juventus […]

Friday Groupthink: Should Juventus keep the door open for a new Dusan Vlahovic deal?

For one very obvious injury-related reason, we have not seen much of Dusan Vlahovic much lately. Although, the last time Juventus actually played on their home field, Vlahovic was unsurprisingly looking rather stylish and then celebrating Pierre Kalulu’s game-tying goal just outside the tunnel at the Allianz Stadium like a mad man. As one would […]
