\"Alla Juventus vincere non è importante. È l'unica cosa che conta.\"
Hello darkness, my old friend. It is me, the Juventus supporter who has seen another season go down the drain within a few short weeks. What started as a February that was being looked at as a defining stretch of games has turned into that — and not in a good way. At all. Following […]

If you watched any portion of Juventus loss to Como over the weekend, you would have noticed that Kenan Yildiz was hacked at by opposing players — a lot. Some were called fouls, others weren’t, but either way Como players who had the task of trying to slow down Yildiz were doing just that by […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. We’re basically seeing a continuation from something that started back under Max Allegri, continued with Thiago Motta and has now carried over into Luciano Spalletti’s […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Juventus Women manager Max Canzi made it no secret about how he felt about Wednesday evening’s Women’s Champions League play-off tie against Wolfsburg. With his team coming back to Turin tied at 2-2 after the German giants’ late rally last week, Canzi stepped up to the microphone and delivered the following statement: “In terms of […]

Old habits die hard. Just ask Juventus. Before Tuesday, it had been just over 12 years since Juventus last traveled to Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex. They needed a stalemate in order to progress to the UEFA Champions League knockout round, whereas Galatasaray needed a win. Gala ended up winning 1-0 via Wesley Sneijder’s late […]

There was a lot that went wrong for Juventus in Tuesday’s embarrassing Champions League play-off round loss to Galatasaray in Istanbul, and losing their best defender was one of the biggest contributing factors in that defeat. Once Gleison Bremer walked off the field after trying to solider through for a few more minutes, that is […]

Things were looking good for Juventus at halftime of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff round against Galatasaray. They’d responded to falling behind in less than 90 seconds, and had come all the way back to take a 2-1 lead into the locker rooms. The less said about what happened when they […]

It would be accurate to call Tuesday’s Champions League play-off round first leg between Juventus and Galatasaray a roller coaster ride — albeit one that ended in a Final Destination-style gore-fest. It wasn’t just the way Juventus self-immolated in the second half in Istanbul. It was the complete reversal from both the first half of […]

Over the weekend, you could pin Juventus’ loss down to simple refereeing incompetence no matter what Luciano Spalletti’s squad did, no matter how much they fought to tie the game and just give us pride in their effort despite being on the wrong end of things on the scoreboard. What happened in Turkiye a little […]

The turnaround was always going to be quick between Juventus’ second Derby d’Italia and the first leg of the Champions League play-off round tie against Galatasaray in Istanbul. That was vision when the fixture list first came out, and that is most definitely still the view now considering Juve made their way to Turkiye less […]

We got quite the surprise — and not in a good way — when Juventus’ squad for the first leg of their Champions League play-off round matchup against Galatasaray was announced on Monday. That is because Juventus striker Jonathan David, who has been playing most of the minutes up front ever since Dusan Vlahovic was […]

For many, the last two days have not seen the anger that resulted from Federico La Penna’s refereeing decisions subside all that much. That’s mainly because it is the latest occurrence of just how far the quality of refereeing in Italy has fallen over the last five or 10 years. The gold standard of refereeing […]

When Juventus first signed Emil Holm on loan from Bologna, the hope was that he would, at the very least, provide cover for a player in Pierre Kalulu who had played every minute of every game so far this season. Unfortunately, in the same game in which Kalulu was unjustly sent off by referee Federico […]

Saturday’s Derby d’Italia was marred by a horrific outing by referee Federico La Penna, who changed the game when he showed Pierre Kalulu a pair of entirely incorrect yellow cards. It’s a shame, because the official marred what was looking like another excellent chapter in the rivalry between Juventus and Inter that’s turned out some […]

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Peak Performance,” Jean-Luc Picard reminds Lt. Commander Data, “It is possible to commit no mistakes, and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life!“ Juventus wasn’t completely mistake-free on Saturday night against Inter Milan. That much was clear after (another) Andrea Cambiaso own goal that gave […]

By now, you’ve probably seen the video of Juventus directors Damien Comolli and Giorgio Chiellini along with manager Luciano Spalletti letting referee Federico La Penna know their opinion of the two yellow cards that Pierre Kalulu received in the first half of Saturday’s Derby d’Italia loss to Inter Milan. Once the final whistle sounded and […]

The second Derby d’Italia of the 2025-26 season basically ended in the 42nd minute on Saturday. You can look at all the fireworks that happened after that and disagree with the first sentence that I just wrote, but that’s what happened. Why? Because Federico La Penna, a Serie A referee who is far from the […]
