Europa League Preview: Juventus vs. Stade Rennais
For the third time in as many outings in Europe this season, the Europa League will try and be Juventus’ reprieve from the struggles that they are currently dealing with domestically. And it’s especially true this time around when you consider what happened all of three days ago on the same field in which they […]
Fine margins and free falls: What the Lazio defeat really tells us about Juventus
A 3-0 home defeat to Lazio is the kind of result that immediately triggers alarm bells. To look at the scoreline alone is to assume a complete structural collapse — a performance where Juventus were swept off their own pitch and systematically dismantled from front to back. Yet beneath the immediate sting of the result […]
This day in Juventus history: Ten minutes of fury against Napoli signal the real dawn of a dynasty
On October 20, 2012, Juventus Stadium hosted a clash that felt less like a mid-autumn league fixture and more like an early referendum on Italian football dominance. Antonio Conte’s side entered Matchday 8 attempting to prove that their unbeaten, surprise 2011–12 Scudetto was no mere flash in the pan. Standing directly across from them was […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 360: Juventus don’t muster much in loss to Lazio
Sunday night was not good. Even worse than the previous Sunday night for Juventus. And to add a little more salt in the wound of the 3-0 defeat to Lazio, it was one that happened in front of the home crowd at the Allianz Stadium. It was bad. Just bad. And it it exposed a […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Lazio
Coming out of the international break, Juventus’ two games were characterized by two things: an attack that wasn’t producing enough quality consistently create danger, and late goals to secure a result — a draw in the case of Cagliari last week and a big victory on Thursday in the Europa League against Celta Vigo. Sunday’s […]
Francisco Conceição to miss at least three weeks after separating his shoulder vs. Lazio
After a night like Juventus had on Sunday when they were handed a heavy 3-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio, the last thing the Bianconeri needed to see happen was a little more salt to the wound added in the following hours of an already very unstable situation. And then the morning after happened. […]
Juventus impotent in heavy loss to Lazio
Going into Sunday’s game between Juventus and Lazio, the Biancocelesti hadn’t won a game at the Allianz since 2017, back when Ciro Immobile was banging in goals and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was blossoming into a full-on superstar. It was still the height of the Streak, before Beppe Marotta was forced out of the front office by […]
Luciano Spalletti unsure if Juventus ‘still follow’ him after ugly home loss to Lazio
After his team’s first loss of the 2026-27 season last month, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti received a fair bit of heat for how the Bianconeri totally lost its balance against Sassuolo. After their second loss of the season, Sunday’s 3-0 defeat at the hand of surprise package Lazio at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, the […]
Juventus 0 – Lazio 3: Initial reaction and random observations
As things played out Sunday night, Juventus became the latest team to find out first-hand what has gone into Lazio having their best start to a Serie A season in club history. Unfortunately for us, that also involved Juventus playing like complete garbage. There was no post-Europa League success for the second consecutive outing this […]

Round 7: Juventus vs. Lazio match preview
For the second Serie A matchday in a row coming out of the 2026-27 season’s first international break, Juventus will be facing an opponent that has overwhelming over-performed their preseason expectations. The catch is that unlike this weekend’s opponent, nobody is expecting Cagliari, despite their very good start to the season, to hang around the […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Celta Vigo
On a European night, Juventus are struggling. They’re on the road wearing their black third kit, up against a side in light blue with white shorts. They played a poor first half, and they’ve fallen behind 1-0. Then, a rally. One of their strikers scores, then another, and head back to Turin with a 2-1 […]
Kolo Muani heads home late winner as Juventus complete dramatic comeback over Celta Vigo
Building on the structural framework from their recent Europa League outing, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti once again fielded a 3-4-2-1 setup to navigate ongoing roster constraints, though with several personnel adjustments. Guglielmo Vicario took his spot between the posts, shielded by a back three of Pierre Kalulu, Federico Gatti, and Lloyd Kelly, with the Englishman […]
Juventus 2 – Celta Vigo 1: Initial reaction and random observations
For pretty much all of the 30 or so minutes following Nick Woltemade tying things up against Celta Vigo on Thursday night, it looked like Juventus were going do what they’ve done a lot of under Luciano Spalletti — pull even but not actually go ahead. Juve may have threatened the Celta Vigo goal a […]

This day in Juventus history: Giorgio Chiellini’s humble debut begins a 17-year defensive legacy
For the Black and White faithful, the 2005–06 season carries a complex, heavy memory—a campaign whose pitch-perfect domestic dominance was ultimately overshadowed by the off-pitch storm of Calciopoli. Yet nestled within those autumn months sat a quiet milestone that would shine brightly for nearly two decades. On October 15, 2005, Fabio Capello’s league leaders welcomed […]
Europa League Preview: Juventus vs. Celta Vigo
As Juventus put their final touches on their preparations for last month’s Europa League opener, they knew two things that were very much the truth: Now, as Juve head to Spain for their second Europa League game of the 2026-27 season, we can safely say that the result at the weekend was also of the […]
How should Juve handle the upcoming rotation puzzle?
After dropping two crucial points against Cagliari in our first match back from the international break, Juventus finds itself at an early-season fork in the road. The immediate calendar offers zero margin for error: a tricky midweek Europa League trip to face Celta Vigo in Spain, followed immediately by a high-stakes Serie A battle against […]
Juventus are struggling to record comeback wins under Luciano Spalletti
Even with the less-than-impressive outing on Sunday night against Cagliari, Juventus still had a chance to win. Maybe if Elia Caprile doesn’t become the latest opposing goalkeeper to put in a Man of the Match performance against Juventus. Or maybe if Randal Kolo Muani sees his shot go a couple of inches lower rather than clang […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 359: Juventus begin big stretch with frustrating outing vs. Cagliari
Possession, possession and even more possession. Juventus dominated the ball on Sunday against Cagliari. Juve also dominated the shot count as compared to their opponents, who just so happen to be on one of their best starts to a season in club history. And they dominated the sheer volume of passes attempted and then completed. […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Cagliari
Juventus went into the international break last month with a wave of momentum, having dismantled NEC Nijmegen and throttled Atalanta in their final two games at a combined score of 7-0. There was hope that after the new, extended break, they’d be able to continue that momentum as a major section of the season got […]
Juventus can’t turn statistical dominance into victory in draw vs. Cagliari
When a team has 71.6% of possession, outshoots their opponent 22-4, and attempts 503 more passes than them, you expect that team to be coming out of the game they just played with three points. Unfortunately, Juventus are a team that has been defying expectation these days — and not always in the good ways. […]
Juventus 1 – Cagliari 1: Initial reaction and random observations
As I do pretty much every Saturday on my 30-minute drive home from work, I give my mom a call to help pass the time during a relatively boring (yet still picturesque) trip down the interstate. On our call this most recent Saturday, I told her that Juventus were finally back this weekend after the […]

Round 6: Juventus vs. Cagliari match preview
We have seen day after day tick away during the longest in-season international break and (hopefully) waited patiently for calcio to return to the weekend viewing schedule. Maybe after the first two weeks you were conditioned to turn your brain back on because previous breaks were over … but nope, there was still a week […]
