Juventus 0 – Lazio 1: Initial reaction and random observations

Another game has come and gone without Juventus winning. Or even getting a damn point. This team is spiraling. They’re out of ideas. They don’t have an identity. They don’t have that same fighting spirity we saw just six weeks ago in the Derby d’Italia comeback last month. And they’re not showing any sort of […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Real Madrid

Taking a moral victory isn’t exactly the Juventus way. But given the way things have gone the past month—and really the past four or five years—it’s sometimes right to acknowledge one.
