It’s been a frustrating week for Juventus. Both of their matches, on Thursday against Atalanta and on Sunday against Lazio, saw them perform better than their opponents and yet fail to get the win either time. Thursday saw them eliminated from the Coppa Italia 3-0, and minutes into the second half on Sunday they found […]
This couldn’t possibly be happening again. That’s what I was thinking two minutes into the second half of Juventus’ Sunday prime-time tilt against Lazio, when the Biancocelesti took an inexplicable 2-0 lead despite Juve dominating every facet of the game up to that point, save for a freak breakthrough that had come after Manuel Locatelli […]
I don’t know what Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri will say at his post-match press conference. I probably won’t watch it. But I have a feeling that I know exactly how things were going to sound like — besides just the overall gravel that is trapped inside that man’s throat when he talks — if Lazio […]

Through the first five weeks of 2026, there has been very little time for Juventus players and coaches to collect their collective breath. That is especially true of these past few weeks where midweek fixtures have been a constant and Luciano Spalletti has had maneuver through things in multiple competitions while having a squad that […]
If you’ve ever seen Luciano Spalletti deliver one of his hugs on the sideline to one of his players, you know that he is somebody who cares deeply about his guys. Those hugs are even more the noticeable when he delivers one to a certain young man who wears the No. 10 and goes by […]
Prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, Juventus gave Kenan Yildiz a new contract and a new number, the clearest sign that the then-teenaged Turk was looked upon as a centerpiece of whatever good the club was going to do heading into the future. It was the second time he had signed a new […]
It was a strange one in Bergamo on Thursday, when Juventus were sent out of the Coppa Italia at the quarterfinal stage for the second straight year. The 3-0 scoreline suggests that La Dea ran the Bianconeri out of their building, but it was in fact Juve who were controlling the flow of the action […]
Soccer is a game of momentum. The ebb and flow of the game as one team and then the other seizes the initiative is the essence of the sport. But on the pitch, momentum doesn’t follow the laws of physics. Countless times in history the team that is on the wrong side of the momentum […]
The final score from Bergamo on Thursday night will say that Atalanta thoroughly beat Juventus. It make things seem like they weren’t close, and that Luciano Spallett’s squad was completely overwhelmed by what La Dea were doing for much of the night. But that’s not the case. The scoreline, it can be deceiving. And this […]

As Juventus strolled into the Coppa Italia quarterfinals last season, we saw their opponent as a relatively simple one to get past. Fact was that Empoli were in the midst of a relegation battle that would eventually see them sent down to Serie B, and Juve were wobbling yet still very much favorites over the […]

What a month! Juventus had an incredible start to the new year with a fantastic run of results in January. New coach Luciano Spalletti has hit the ground running at the club as the team is scoring a lot of goals (14 goals in seven games in January) while maintaining a solid defense (only two […]
It wasn’t so long ago that one of the best in the business, IlBianconero.com director generale Romeo Agresti, said that Juventus were “making strong progress” when it comes to contract talks with Kenan Yildiz. Just a few days later, Agresti has yet another update for us on the Yildiz extension front. And it’s even better […]
For as much as Juventus’ big first half against Parma on Sunday was another feather in the cap for Luciano Spalletti, there was still one thing for the veteran manager to suddenly worry about: the health of Kenan Yildiz. That is because Juve’s budding Turkish star asked Spalletti toward the end of the first half […]
How do you respond to a quiet and unimpressive showing in the Champions League just a few days earlier? For Luciaco Spalletti and Juventus on Sunday, it was by giving Parma an old-fashioned kind of beatdown. Poker was in the air for Juve at the Tardini, capping a week in which the Bianconeri closed out […]
Juve’s Sunday contest against Parma had all the hallmarks of a trap game. They were coming off a huge league win against Napoli, and they were about to face a hellacious month that would see them face three fellow top six teams (Inter, Como, and Roma), the Coppa Italia quarterfinal against Atalanta, and the Champions […]
All winter transfer window long, Juventus have been seeking three areas to address when it comes to adding some depth for Luciano Spalletti: winger, fullback and, if possible, a striker of a different profile to those currently on the roster. Juventus got one out of the way with the arrival of Jérémie Boga on loan. And […]
Over the years, Daniele Rugani has been a loyal servant to Juventus. No matter what role he has played, he has done the job even if he never lived up to the big amount of hype he received when he first broke into the first team a decade ago. We now have another chapter to […]
February is going to be toughest and most important month of the 2025-26 season for Juventus. Over the next four weeks, the Bianconeri will play three of the other teams in the top six, a Lazio squad that can always decide to cause a problem, a Coppa Italia quarterfinal away from home against Atalanta, and […]
The month of February has the potential to be very good for Juventus. It also has the potential to be a very tough slog knowing that there are big games pretty much everywhere you look on the schedule. The beginning of the month, however, was one of the final chances between now and the March […]
The month-long hunt for Juventus to bring in some help on the wings and provide the chance for Kenan Yildiz to get a bit of a breather from time to time has officially come to an end on the first day of February. Juventus announced just prior to Sunday night’s game against Parma that they […]

Emil Holm has been a name linked with Juventus a handful of time over the years when he was getting his feet wet in Serie A with Spezia. Those rumors never turned out to develop into much, with him joining Atalanta on loan and then subsequently moving to Bologna two summers ago in a permanent […]
