Reports: Juventus eyeing up move for Hellas Verona fullback Rafik Belghali

Thanks to a strong start to the 2025-26 season, Hellas Verona fullback Rafik Belghali has become the interest of a good number of Italy’s bigger clubs. It just so happens that Juventus look to be one of those clubs who are interested in trying to secure the services of the Algerian-born right back. That is […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Wednesday, Dec. 17

It’s the Hump Day edition of the Zona Mista, folks. Just think about it — after this day, we’re just a couple more days away from the weekend and Juventus returning to the field. Maybe that turns out a good thing. Maybe … well, we won’t think negative thoughts right now. There is some Juventus […]

Will the real Jonathan David please stand up?

“If you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment … would you capture it or just let it slip? The opening lyrics of Eminem’s 2002 hit “Lose Yourself” could just as easily be used to sum up the situation of Jonathan David. For what has seemed to […]

Remember Table talk Thanks for the help, Como! Cesc’s jacket tho Oldie but goodie Question of the Day: Been a little while. How you doin?

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Bologna

Juventus got their most important domestic win of the season on Sunday night when they went to the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara and came away with a 1-0 victory over 10-man Bologna. Highlighted by Juan Cabal’s excellent night off the bench, the Bianconeri vaulted over their opponents and, depending on the outcome of Monday’s game between […]

Juventus grind out the goal they need and hold on against Bologna

A week ago, Juventus went into a difficult stadium to play in and got absolutely everything wrong. They never gave themselves a chance to come up with a point or three against the defending champions (barf), who were perhaps at their most vulnerable. It was critical not to do the same on Sunday’s game against […]

Juventus 1 – Bologna 0: Initial reaction and random observations

A week ago, Luciano Spalletti and Juventus went to southern Italy and got things wrong from the very beginning. Spalletti’s approach was the wrong one, and the way in which he wanted to play was very much not well-executed by the players on the field. It was a mess, and something that Juve could really […]

Arek Milik has reportedly returned to training with Juventus. No, seriously.

It might not be the exact Earth, Wind & Fire lyric, but go ahead and say it a little like this … Do you remember … the second weekend of December? Well, you could be about to because it feels like what has become the impossible has actually happened. That is due to the simple […]

Round 15: Juventus vs. Bologna match preview

Juventus has played six games since returning from the November international break a little less than a month to go. The general feeling after those six games has been … well, a lot of the same kind of general feelings as we’ve had about this team for much of the 2025-26 season, if not the […]

John Elkann makes it clear: Juventus is not for sale after Tether’s offer to Exor

Friday brought the news that one of Juventus’ biggest shareholders not named Exor was going to try and takes its biggest swing yet: become majority owner of Italy’s most historic club. Paolo Ardoino and stablecoin giant Tether announced they submitted a big to Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that is run by John Elkann, […]

Tether CEO says the company has made an offer to buy Exor’s shares in Juventus

For as long as anybody can remember, the Agnelli family has been the majority owner of Juventus. There have been a wide array of outside investors with minority shares, but the Agnelli family (and their holding company Exor) have maintained what has now turned into a century-long hold of Italy’s most successful club. The holder […]

Weston McKennie is inevitable

In the words of the great Benjamin Franklin, only three things in this world are certain: Death, taxes, and Weston McKennie remaining a crucial figure at Juventus despite the protests of countless Juve supporters. Born in Fort Lewis, Washington, McKennie spent the bulk of his childhood in Texas, apart from a three-year spell in Germany. […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Pafos

It took some time and a whole lot of blood pressure medication for the fan base, but Juventus pulled themselves together after another hideous first half to beat Cyprian Cinderellas Pafos 2-0 on Wednesday night at the J Stadium. There were lots of ups and downs between the first and second half, some swings far […]

Juventus 2 – Pafos FC 0: Initial reaction and random observations

For the second consecutive outing in the Champions League, Juventus put forward an opening 45 minutes that just about everybody would have liked to forget on Wednesday night in Turin. The reaction of those who root for the Bianconeri was as you’d expect when halftime arrived, too, with the full realization that something desperately needed […]

Champions League Preview: Juventus vs. Pafos FC

When it comes to Juventus’ standing in the Champions League, there is not much of a difference in approach from Matchday 5 now onto Matchday 6. Just because they now have a win under their belt in Europe — which, again, is not necessarily you want to suddenly boast about in the first days of […]

Juventus Women qualify for UWCL knockout rounds with blowout win over St. Pölten

There have been times in which the Juventus Women, no matter the season and no matter the talent on thr roster, have made things difficult for themselves in Europe. But when it comes to the first-ever Women’s Champions League league phase, the Bianconere have not only made a very good impression, but they’ve put themselves […]

Sergio’s Grab Bag: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

In one of my favorite moments of the hit TV show “The Bear,” beleaguered wunderkind chef Carmy Berzatto attends a support group for grieving people. Carmy had recently lost his brother whom he had a — to put it mildly — complicated relationship with. After his brother’s death, he inherits the families run down sandwich […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Napoli

Juventus’ game against Napoli on Sunday was a case study in how a coach can lose a game. Luciano Spalletti came into the game with an idea of how to approach the Partenopei—but it was the completely wrong idea. We’ll get into the details of that later. But Juventus’ players played a part as well. […]

Juventus throw away the first half in loss to Napoli

Juventus deserved to lose Sunday night’s match against Napoli. Frankly, they deserved to lose it in far uglier fashion than they ended up losing. The 2-1 scoreline wasn’t in any way representative of how badly Juve deserved to lose. It was a miracle that they entered the half only 1-0 down, as Napoli missed some […]
