\"Alla Juventus vincere non è importante. È l'unica cosa che conta.\"
Friday brought the news that one of Juventus’ biggest shareholders not named Exor was going to try and takes its biggest swing yet: become majority owner of Italy’s most historic club. Paolo Ardoino and stablecoin giant Tether announced they submitted a big to Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that is run by John Elkann, […]
For as long as anybody can remember, the Agnelli family has been the majority owner of Juventus. There have been a wide array of outside investors with minority shares, but the Agnelli family (and their holding company Exor) have maintained what has now turned into a century-long hold of Italy’s most successful club. The holder […]
In the words of the great Benjamin Franklin, only three things in this world are certain: Death, taxes, and Weston McKennie remaining a crucial figure at Juventus despite the protests of countless Juve supporters. Born in Fort Lewis, Washington, McKennie spent the bulk of his childhood in Texas, apart from a three-year spell in Germany. […]
It took some time and a whole lot of blood pressure medication for the fan base, but Juventus pulled themselves together after another hideous first half to beat Cyprian Cinderellas Pafos 2-0 on Wednesday night at the J Stadium. There were lots of ups and downs between the first and second half, some swings far […]
The scene as Juventus and Pafos FC walked into the tunnel at halftime of their Champions League matchup on Wednesday has become distressingly familiar. Juve had allowed the Cyprian side—one of the true Cinderella stories of the game this year—to push them around from the word go. The visitors had forced Michele Di Gregorio into […]
For the second consecutive outing in the Champions League, Juventus put forward an opening 45 minutes that just about everybody would have liked to forget on Wednesday night in Turin. The reaction of those who root for the Bianconeri was as you’d expect when halftime arrived, too, with the full realization that something desperately needed […]

When it comes to Juventus’ standing in the Champions League, there is not much of a difference in approach from Matchday 5 now onto Matchday 6. Just because they now have a win under their belt in Europe — which, again, is not necessarily you want to suddenly boast about in the first days of […]
There have been times in which the Juventus Women, no matter the season and no matter the talent on thr roster, have made things difficult for themselves in Europe. But when it comes to the first-ever Women’s Champions League league phase, the Bianconere have not only made a very good impression, but they’ve put themselves […]
In one of my favorite moments of the hit TV show “The Bear,” beleaguered wunderkind chef Carmy Berzatto attends a support group for grieving people. Carmy had recently lost his brother whom he had a — to put it mildly — complicated relationship with. After his brother’s death, he inherits the families run down sandwich […]
Juventus’ game against Napoli on Sunday was a case study in how a coach can lose a game. Luciano Spalletti came into the game with an idea of how to approach the Partenopei—but it was the completely wrong idea. We’ll get into the details of that later. But Juventus’ players played a part as well. […]
So, about that trip to Naples. Yeah, that wasn’t good. It wasn’t very good at all. So much for Luciano Spalletti having a big, happy moment in his comeback to the stadium in which he had so much success. Instead, he did the opposite of that, putting forward easily his worst performance as Juventus manager […]
Juventus deserved to lose Sunday night’s match against Napoli. Frankly, they deserved to lose it in far uglier fashion than they ended up losing. The 2-1 scoreline wasn’t in any way representative of how badly Juve deserved to lose. It was a miracle that they entered the half only 1-0 down, as Napoli missed some […]
So much of the early days of the Luciano Spalletti era at Juventus has felt like one or two steps forward and then just as many steps back over the course of the next subsequent fixtures. They’ve done some good, but there’s been just as much frustration and equally poor themes that have continued over […]
MATCH INFO When: Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025. Where: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples, Italy. Official kickoff time: 8:45 p.m. local time in Italy and across Europe, 7:45 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, 1:45 p.m. Central time, 11:45 a.m. Pacific time. STARTING LINEUPS Juventus starting XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Kelly, Koopmeiners; Cambiaso, Locatelli, Thuram, Cabal; […]
These days, Juventus going to Naples to face Napoli is always going to be a very, very important domestic fixture. Napoli are, as much as you might hate it, one of the standards in Serie A these days, and that is a place in which Juventus are trying to return to rather than being whatever […]
Welcome to the weekend, everybody. It’s going to be an interesting one in Serie A — and that’s before our beloved squad takes the field in southern Italy against their former manager. (Who, you know, will be facing the team managed the guy who now manages at Juventus. Oh, how funny this will all be!) […]
It’s a game we will likely be playing a lot over the next few months, but it’s one that takes on much more of a pressing decision in the short term. It’s about finding an answer to the question of who takes Dusan Vlahovic’s starting spot now that the Serbian striker has undergone surgery for […]
It’s Friday! Who’s ready for the weekend? Well, there’s something to do with a certain international tournament next summer before we actually hit the weekend, but guessing that might not exactly be something you’re overly excited about considering, well, everything that is actually going to be happening there besides the original point of said event. […]
Within less than a week, we’ve come to see two of Juventus’ more important players go down with injuries that have forced them to undergo surgeries. First it was Dusan Vlahovic suffering a serious adductor injury over the weekend, then it was Federico Gatti just three days picking up a meniscus injury in his knee. […]
Draws, draws, and … more draws. Somehow, Juventus has become a team cursed with draws. In November, the team had as many victories as draws (3) as it struggles to be more clinical in front of goal. At the other end of the pitch, we’re struggling to keep clean sheets and improve defensively. Despite the […]
It’s Thursday, everybody. And that just means it’s one day closer to the weekend. And what an important weekend it will be with some very interesting fixtures taking place across the Serie A landscape. But it’s also been a midweek full of Coppa Italia action. So, to the results! And a few other things, too. […]
It was about 12 months ago in which Juventus’ defensive crunch became its most extreme. It forced two players, Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu, to essentially play every single minute or every single game because there simply wasn’t anybody else available due to injuries. It stretched them to their physical limits, and forced Juve to […]
Juventus’ first foray into the 2025-26 Coppa Italia saw them produce a workmanlike 2-0 victory over Udinese to ease into the quarterfinal. In the 18 years since the tournament moved to its current single-elimination format, Juventus is the only team to have reached the quarterfinals every single time. It came with some encouraging showings, including […]
After a week in which Juventus had had to find a little something extra in order to win games against opposition they really ought to have dealt with easily, and with one of their sternest tests of the year coming on Sunday, one could be forgiven for hoping that the Old Lady could ease past […]
