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. All they needed to do was avert disaster and then they would be extending their European campaign by another 180 minutes at least. The problem […]

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. Week after week went by, with the waiting game of what would happen amidst rumors of other clubs circling […]

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. 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 […]

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 […]

Juventus Women see UWCL run come to an end vs. Wolfsburg despite second-leg dominance

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 […]

What went into Juventus’ self-destruction in Istanbul?

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 […]

Juventus rule out Bremer injury following early exit in UCL loss to Galatasaray

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 […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Galatasaray

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 […]

Second half meltdown at Galatasaray puts Juventus’ UCL hopes on the brink

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 […]

Juventus 2 – Galatasaray 5: Initial reaction and random observations

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 […]

Champions League Preview: Juventus vs. Galatasaray

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 […]

OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus fullback Emil Holm out for a month due to calf injury

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 […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Inter Milan

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 […]

Controversy reigns as 10-man Juventus fall to Inter

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 […]
