It’s hard to think of a more frustrating game than what played out on Saturday at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus dominated Lecce from start to finish, but failed to follow through on it. They couldn’t score the goals that their dominance warranted, and a single solitary mistake led to them having to chase the game. […]

Like Danny, I too have spent a long time trying to think back to a time when Juventus dominated a game as thoroughly as they did against Lecce on Saturday and fail to win. I’ve tried to think of any game where one team has dominated so thoroughly and not won. The closest I came […]

Maybe it’s my mind failing me, but I’m having trouble remembering a game in which Juventus just flat-out dominated in the same way that they did against Lecce on Saturday yet didn’t come away with three points. I don’t know what other way to say it. Sure, we’re three days into 2026, but it’s going […]

We knew once Juventus got through three straight games against clubs that are direct competition for the top four (and then some) in Serie A, the schedule was going to become a lot more favorable and a string of provincial clubs would arrive. Juventus closed out 2025 with an opponent very much in the relegation […]

The long wait is officially over. After seven months of waiting, Juventus have filled their sporting director vacancy. It’s a familiar name to some at the club, with former Genoa director Marco Ottolini making his way back to Turin following three years at the Luigi Ferraris and becoming Juventus’ new sporting director, the Bianconeri announced […]

Welcome to 2026, everybody. How’s it been so far? Fun? Exciting? Maybe kinda boring? All of those are acceptable answers. Considering that we just had as Juventus supporters, a little more of a low-key start to the new year is sounding pretty good right about now. But with the new year comes new things … […]

Well, it’s that time of the year again. Time to reflect on a 2025 filled with highs and lows, and time to look ahead to a 2026 filled with promise and excitement. And for Juventus fans, it’s time to sit back and review a year defined by managerial instability. Thiago Motta was sacked on March […]

The possible domino effect of Mattia Perin potentially leaving Juventus doesn’t look like it will arrive in January. That is mainly because Juve have no intention of parting ways with the man who wears the No. 1 jersey. According to Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto on Tuesday night, Juventus have informed Genoa that they have […]

In the summer of 2024, with one year left on his contract, Federico Chiesa was told by then-manage Thiago Motta that he wasn’t part of the Juventus project and he had to find a new club before the starting of the new season. It was a disappointing end to an extended period of time in […]

It’s day before the day before everybody is out to celebrate the final day of the calendar year. Sounds like a good time, doesn’t it? Well, it can be — especially with not much midweek football on the schedule when it comes to this certain Italian league we all follow. But we’re coming off a […]

There is a contract extension that is at the forefront of just about everybody’s mind right now and that involves Kenan Yildiz. We have known for months that Juventus want to lock him down to an even longer deal than he currently is signed to, with a salary boost that is reflective of what a […]

For the third straight weekend to close out the month of December, Juventus claimed three vital points as they inch ever so closer to being in the top four. Of course, the rest of the weekend saw those teams in front of them all claim points, so it’s not like much changed in the Serie […]

If the last few weeks have been any sort of sign, it’s going to be a January in which Juventus youngster Vasilije Adžić will probably be heading out somewhere else to find some much-needed regular playing time. It also seems like there isn’t a lack of teams interested in trying to bring the young Montenegrin […]

It was a hell of a slog, but Juventus pushed their way to a 2-0 victory against a pesky Pisa side on Saturday. It wasn’t anything like the encouraging performances against Bologna and Roma, but an encouraging win from this standpoint: winning when they haven’t played particularly well hasn’t been a habit the Juve of […]

After consecutive victories over Bologna and Roma in direct clashes at the top end of the Serie A table, Juventus went into Saturday’s game against Pisa looking at a five-game stretch against provincial sides. It was a major opportunity to rack up points and put pressure on the teams above them in the race for […]

Saturday night was Juventus’ first visit to the Arena Garibaldi in nearly 12,800 days. In case you’re not able to do the quick math in your head — and who could blame you with that kind of number — that’s nearly 35 years, with a mid-January visit to Pisa in 1991 being the last time […]

Just like that, we’re down to the final 90 minutes of Juventus football for the 2025 calendar year. It’s been quite the eventful year — which is not news to anybody who has even casually followed the happenings surrounding this squad, who has coached it and who has been there to try and assemble a […]

Is that a smidge of consistency I see? Do I detect some notes of an actual style of play? Is there, perhaps, some semblance of optimism in the air? Juventus have authored two of their most impressive wins of the Luciano Spalletti era with back-to-back solid victories in Serie A over Bologna and Roma. The […]

The Kenan Yildiz contract extension talks have taken a new turn. It’s not necessarily a bad one per se. Nor is it one that we should be particularly surprised by considering his extremely fast trajectory to impending stardom. But it’s a development nonetheless — and one that feels like it’s now on Juventus’ table to […]

Mattia Perin has routinely said in the past that playing a part-time role at Juventus is something that matters more to him than being the full-time starter at pretty much any of the other clubs in Italy. It’s why, even after such a lengthy stay in Turin, there hasn’t appeared to be a temptation for […]
