Europa League Preview: Juventus vs. Celta Vigo
As Juventus put their final touches on their preparations for last month’s Europa League opener, they knew two things that were very much the truth: Now, as Juve head to Spain for their second Europa League game of the 2026-27 season, we can safely say that the result at the weekend was also of the […]
How should Juve handle the upcoming rotation puzzle?
After dropping two crucial points against Cagliari in our first match back from the international break, Juventus finds itself at an early-season fork in the road. The immediate calendar offers zero margin for error: a tricky midweek Europa League trip to face Celta Vigo in Spain, followed immediately by a high-stakes Serie A battle against […]
Juventus are struggling to record comeback wins under Luciano Spalletti
Even with the less-than-impressive outing on Sunday night against Cagliari, Juventus still had a chance to win. Maybe if Elia Caprile doesn’t become the latest opposing goalkeeper to put in a Man of the Match performance against Juventus. Or maybe if Randal Kolo Muani sees his shot go a couple of inches lower rather than clang […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 359: Juventus begin big stretch with frustrating outing vs. Cagliari
Possession, possession and even more possession. Juventus dominated the ball on Sunday against Cagliari. Juve also dominated the shot count as compared to their opponents, who just so happen to be on one of their best starts to a season in club history. And they dominated the sheer volume of passes attempted and then completed. […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Cagliari
Juventus went into the international break last month with a wave of momentum, having dismantled NEC Nijmegen and throttled Atalanta in their final two games at a combined score of 7-0. There was hope that after the new, extended break, they’d be able to continue that momentum as a major section of the season got […]
Juventus can’t turn statistical dominance into victory in draw vs. Cagliari
When a team has 71.6% of possession, outshoots their opponent 22-4, and attempts 503 more passes than them, you expect that team to be coming out of the game they just played with three points. Unfortunately, Juventus are a team that has been defying expectation these days — and not always in the good ways. […]
Juventus 1 – Cagliari 1: Initial reaction and random observations
As I do pretty much every Saturday on my 30-minute drive home from work, I give my mom a call to help pass the time during a relatively boring (yet still picturesque) trip down the interstate. On our call this most recent Saturday, I told her that Juventus were finally back this weekend after the […]

Round 6: Juventus vs. Cagliari match preview
We have seen day after day tick away during the longest in-season international break and (hopefully) waited patiently for calcio to return to the weekend viewing schedule. Maybe after the first two weeks you were conditioned to turn your brain back on because previous breaks were over … but nope, there was still a week […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus extends Nico González’s contract through 2030
The first Juventus player to get a contract extension during the 2026-27 season is not somebody we thought would be in this position so soon after looking like he was on the way out just a couple of months ago. Instead, Nico González has had quite the redemption arc so far in his return to […]
Reports: Nico González set to sign new contract at Juventus
Just a couple of months ago, the possibility of Juventus holding on to Nico González seemed like a small possibility at its very best. Juve needed money during the summer window, González was one of their best assets to bring in a good amount of cash and they had a team in Atlético Madrid who […]
Juventus’ tactical switch could give needed tactical flexibility up front
A few days after Juventus’ shocking 3-2 loss against Sassuolo last month, the BWRAO Slack channel noticed a sudden spike in activity in the comment section of the post that had debuted that week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast. Now, we’re very proud of The Old Lady Speaks in these parts, but we […]
Lorenzo Palmisani’s agent confirms Juventus’ summer interest, floats possible future move to Turin
We have heard rumblings in the last few weeks that Juventus want to make a move for one of the best goalkeeper prospects in Italy these days, Lorenzo Palmisani. That move could very well come during the upcoming January transfer window, according to reports last month, and would be a bit more expensive as compared […]
Edon Zhegrova just had a very good international break with Kosovo
When Edon Zhegrova arrived at Juventus, he was in a very precarious state. He got a move to a big club in a new country that he had sought last summer, but he was also coming off a long-term injury that he clearly hadn’t totally gotten past. Therefore, no matter which manager Juve had, it […]
Juventus teenager Kerim Alajbegović named as a finalist for the Golden Boy award
After seeing Kenan Yildiz named to the list of Golden Boy award finalists for the past two years, a different Juventus teenager is now taking over that distinction as the Bianconeri’s representative amongst some of the best young players in the game today. From off his big summer move from Germany to Italy and more […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 358: Juventus’ fixture list is going to get very busy soon
We hope you’ve had a nice and relaxing international break, everybody. Mostly because you’re not going to have much time to rest in between Juventus fixtures coming up over the next month. Sorry, but those are the facts, Jack. Juventus are set to begin an incredibly intense stretch of games when they resume Serie A […]
Things are about to get hectic for Juventus once the games begin again
We are about to go from one extreme of the scale to the other. Why? Because after sitting through the longest in-season international break (that wasn’t much of a break at all for some) that we’ve ever seen in this sport, we are soon to arrive at the sight of a relentless stretch of the […]
September’s Monthly Juventus Thoughts: Tough Medicine
We’re barely a month into the season and we’re already talking about a crisis. Thankfully, it’s not a relegation crisis; instead we’re dealing with a remarkable series of injuries to key players. At the time of writing, eight Juventus players are injured: Manuel Locatelli, Andrea Cambiaso, Kamil Grabara, Khéphren Thuram, Juan Cabal, Jeff Ekhator, Kenan […]
Giovanni Carnevali on Juventus’ summer mercato: ‘Our goal was to replace as many players as possible’
It’s thankfully been a quiet international break for Juventus thus far, with very little in the way of news actually happening despite having a good number of players out on national team duty. But what we did just after the midway point of the first international window of the 2026-27 season was an interview with […]
Adin Ličina needed surgery after fracturing a bone in his wrist during friendly vs. Juventus
Juventus’ injury ravaged 2026-27 campaign now apparently extends to players they’ve sent out on loan who come back for a friendly during the longest in-season international break that we’ve ever had. Sorry, but I guess you just can’t escape it. Adin Ličina, arguably Juventus’ top young prospect who is spending the season on loan at […]
This day in Juventus history: A San Siro statement against Milan sparks the 1949–50 Scudetto march
By October 2, 1949, Juventus had spent fifteen long years waiting to reclaim the summit of Italian football. The decade had belonged to the tragic brilliance of Il Grande Torino, while rival AC Milan was aggressively assembling its post-war powerhouse around the newly arrived Swedish trio of Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl, and Nils Liedholm. Heading […]
The crime and the cartel: A look at the current financial system and what’s wrong with it
Manchester City is currently facing the reckoning of a century. A grand total of 114 regulatory charges — a staggering rap sheet of alleged financial fraud, falsified sponsorship contracts designed to artificially inflate revenues, under-the-table shadow payments to double-underwrite wages off the books, and years of systematic non-cooperation with league investigators. Let’s not mince words […]
Juventus set for another capital increase with as much as €250 million potentially on the way
It’s always interesting when Juventus don’t post something to the front page of their website and instead just decide to have everything they need explained be part of the PDF section instead. That is usually the case when it comes to financial matters of this grand old club we root for, and sometimes also the […]
Who was your Juventus MVP for the month of September?
It’s the final day of September, everybody. And while we haven’t had a Juventus game for a week and a half now, it feels appropriate to roll out something that we will be making a regular feature here on this blog as the 2026-27 season goes on. Yes, it’s the monthly MVP award. As we […]
A little over a month into the season, who has been Juventus’ best summer signing so far?
Juventus have played six games in all competitions this season. And a good number of those minutes have been occupied by summer signings brought in by new Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali and his right-hand man Frederic Massara.It was a summer transfer window that ended up being a lot busier than some of us probably thought […]
