Juventus 0 – Lazio 1: Initial reaction and random observations

Another game has come and gone without Juventus winning. Or even getting a damn point. This team is spiraling. They’re out of ideas. They don’t have an identity.

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Real Madrid

Taking a moral victory isn’t exactly the Juventus way. But given the way things have gone the past month—and really the past four or five years—it’s sometimes right to acknowledge one.
