Reports: Juventus closing in on reunion with Neto as new backup goalkeeper
Giovanni Carnevali and the rest of the Juventus front office probably did not expect to be forced to dip into the free agent market to sign a new backup goalkeeper in the first few days of the September/October international break this season. But, that is the reality facing the Bianconeri higher-ups right now because of […]
Which Juventus players are away on international duty during the extended break?
We are now officially a couple of days into the first international break of the 2026-27 season — and it is one that will be longer than any in-season break that we’ve seen since the winter World Cup four years ago. And like just about every break before, there are a host of Juve players […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Randal Kolo Muani undergoes surgery for broken finger, won’t miss any game time
You see that picture above? Of course you do! Notice how Juventus striker Randal Kolo Muani has a couple of his fingers taped together? It wasn’t always like that as Juve took on Atalanta on Sunday evening in the final game before the first international break of the 2026-27 season arrived. Kolo Muani had to […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 356: Juventus go into the international break with a pair of wins
Two Sundays ago, things looked grim. Juventus were coming off a 3-2 loss to Sassuolo, with the game-winning goal scored in the final seconds of stoppage time and by a player who was on loan from the club he just handed the first defeat of the 2026-27 season. It was the kind of performance that […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Atalanta
Over the last eight years, Atalanta has always been a game that’s been circled as a difficult one. Perhaps it’s karma over Andrea Agnelli’s dismissive comments about the club in 2020, or the simple effect of Gian Piero Gasperini’s fantastic coaching over much of that time. Probably a little bit of both, as well as […]
Juventus claim first home win over Atalanta since 2018
Over the last decade, Atalanta has cemented themselves as Juventus’ bogey team. It was something that had been developing for years even before former club president Andrea Agnelli made his ill-fated March 2020 comments questioning whether the club deserved to be in the Champions League after “one great season” as opposed to other Italian clubs […]
Juventus 2 – Atalanta 0: Initial reaction and random observations
Following last Sunday’s last-second loss to Sassuolo, Juventus had 180 minutes to try and get back on track a little bit before the first international break of the season arrived. It involved two very different kinds of opponents — a struggling Dutch side and a domestic opponent that Juve had barely had any success against […]

Round 5: Juventus vs. Atalanta match preview
In previous years, we’ve gotten just a taste of a brand new season before the first international break in September arrives. This year, however, has been different — and that is all by design. Once Juventus takes the field at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night, it will the sixth time in all competitions that […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Kamil Grabara suffers ACL tear in training
We really just can’t have nice things anymore, can we? Juventus confirmed on their web site that goalkeeper Kamil Grabara suffered a torn ACL during Saturday’s training session. This comes barely two days after Grabara made his debut for the club against NEC Nijmegen in the Europa League on Thursday. It was a successful debut, […]
After the Europa League opener, how much should Luciano Spalletti change things up against Atalanta?
Juventus’ Europa League opener arrived with changes. Both in terms of the amount of goals the Bianconeri ended up scoring against a incredibly unimpressive Dutch opponent, but maybe more notably the tactical setup in which manager Luciano Spalletti decided to go with from the opening whistle. Out went the four-man backline that Spalletti has used […]
Only one Juventus player called up for Roberto Mancini’s first Italy squad
Much in the same fashion as Juventus’ starting lineup last weekend against Sassuolo, there won’t be much of a Bianconeri flavor when the Italian national team meets for their first meet-up at Coverciano during the upcoming international break. One Italian in the starting lineup last weekend at the Mapei. And now just one Juventus player […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. NEC Nijmegen
After Sunday’s debacle against Sassuolo, Juventus’ Europa League opener against NEC Nijmegen on Thursday felt a little scary. The Dutch club were a high-level Cinderella, coming into their first European competition in 18 years. It was absolutely the type of team that has given Juventus fits in matches continental and domestic in the last five […]
Front three unleash early flurry as fluid Juventus cruise past NEC Nijmegen
Given the ongoing midfield injury crisis and valid concerns surrounding squad depth, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti showed he still had a few tricks up his sleeve during Thursday night’s Europa League opener against Dutch side NEC Nijmegen to manage the roster constraints. Spalletti rolled out a semi-unexpected 3-4-2-1 setup, handing Kamil Grabara a well-earned first […]
Juventus 5 – NEC Nijmegen 0: Initial reaction and random observations
Considering how Juventus’ weekend trip to Sassuolo went, it was hard to say what kind of state Luciano Spalletti’s squad was going to show in come their Europa League opener on Thursday night. Would it just be an extension of what we saw just a few days earlier? Or would there be the chance to […]

Europa League Preview: Juventus vs. NEC Nijmegen
There have been years where Juventus arrive at their first European fixture with some optimism about how they’re playing. There have been other years in which the optimism has been, well, lacking for one reason or another. Coming out of the weekend and what happened against Sassuolo, you can probably guess which line the Juventus-related […]
This day in Juventus history: David Trezeguet makes his debut in a whirlwind against Brescia
September 16, 2000, was meant to be a straightforward early-season cup fixture, but it quickly devolved into pure, unadulterated Italian football chaos. Fresh off signing the headline addition of the summer transfer window — 22-year-old French hero David Trezeguet — Juventus traveled to the Stadio Mario Rigamonti to face Brescia in the first leg of […]
The costs of Juventus’ motionless football against Sassuolo
Like a true sicko, I’ve rewatched Juventus’ 3-2 loss to Sassuolo a couple of times now, and I keep landing on the same word: languid. Not slow in the methodical, patient sense. Slow in the sense of nothing actually happening. Guys getting the ball and looking up at statues. The whole thing carried a weirdly […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 355: Juventus’ defense falls apart against Sassuolo
This weekend was a bad weekend for Juventus. Really, really bad. Not only was the simple fact that they lost to Sassuolo bad, the nature of which they went about “achieving” that kind of result was even worse. Oh, and the fact that the game-winning goal was scored by a player that Juventus loaned to […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Sassuolo
Over the first three weeks of the 2026-27 season, Juventus’ attack has been … inconsistent. (That might be a charitable way to describe how the Bianconeri’s offense had looked coming into their matchup against Sassuolo on Sunday, but my therapist says I need to look for the positive in people more.) As shoddy and stale […]
Sloppy Juventus fall to Sassuolo on last-gasp goal from loanee Adzic
Irony is dead. Any irony that might have been left, in the entire world, Juventus’ game against Sassuolo on Sunday obliterated it. You remember the “puny god” scene with Hulk and Loki at the end of the original Avengers movie? Loki is the irony. The sequence of events that led to Sassuolo’s 3-2 victory on […]
Juventus 2 – Sassuolo 3: Initial reaction and random observations
In better days, all hell breaking loose has resulted in Juventus picking up a win when you didn’t necessarily expect them to based on how those previous portions of the game went. But for Juventus in 2026, all hell breaking loose involves game-changing mistakes and defensive breakdowns that only sees a potential smash-and-grab of three […]

Round 4: Juventus vs. Sassuolo match preview
Following the first Big Match of the 2026-27 season, Juventus are still very much short-handed and now on the cusp of the fixture list getting very, very busy. The start of the Europa League is on the horizon, and that means the Thursday-Sunday grind is nearly upon us (for at least one week before the […]
