\"Alla Juventus vincere non è importante. È l'unica cosa che conta.\"
What a difference a couple of weeks makes, huh? Not that long ago, we were talking about the Luciano Spalletti-led Juventus looking like they were turning a corner. The team was scoring in bunches, playing fun football and finally showing glimpses of life. As we sit here in the final days of February now, Juventus […]
Once again, Giorgio Chiellini and not manager Luciano Spalleti, took the microphone following a big night for Juventus. The first time was a couple of weeks ago against Inter Milan when Chiellini was seething about the red card to Pierre Kalulu and subsequent last-minute loss to the Serie A leaders. This time, it was following […]
Yeah, still doesn’t feel great. Juventus were so close—so close—to making some history in the second leg of their Champions League playoff tie against Galatasaray. They fought from 5-2 down on aggregate to even the tie 5-5, playing almost the entire half (and scoring two of their three goals) with 10 men on the field […]
As Wednesday dawned in Turin, Juventus was faced with this daunting statistic: of the 49 teams that had ever lost the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie by three goals, only four had ever advanced. Juve’s fans knew just how hard it was. The Bianconeri had been one of those 49 teams in […]
These are the ones that leave you having completely mixed feelings. And ones that you want to take about 10 days before trying to put something into words. Juventus battled like all hell on Wednesday night. They did that with 11 players on the field, and they most certainly did that after they went down […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hello darkness, my old friend. It is me, the Juventus supporter who has seen another season go down the drain within a few short weeks. What started as a February that was being looked at as a defining stretch of games has turned into that — and not in a good way. At all. Following […]
If you watched any portion of Juventus loss to Como over the weekend, you would have noticed that Kenan Yildiz was hacked at by opposing players — a lot. Some were called fouls, others weren’t, but either way Como players who had the task of trying to slow down Yildiz were doing just that by […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
