Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Cremonese

There isn’t much to say about Juventus’ 5-0 win over Cremonese on Monday than what’s already been said. The Old Lady stepped onto the field and promptly opened a can of whoop-ass, leaving the visitors wondering what hit them. Even the VAR luck went their way when Cremonese were denied a penalty initially given for […]

Juventus crush Cremonese to start second half of Serie A season

“How long has it been?” That’s the question I started asking myself as the time ticked away in the latter stages of Juventus’ lopsided 5-0 victory over Cremonese on Monday night. How long has it been since the Bianconeri had laid an epic beating like this on another team in Serie A? Juve had had […]

Juventus 5 – Cremonese 0: Initial reaction and random observations

If the message from Luciano Spalletti before kickoff was to not make things as tricky against Cremonese on Monday night as they were back on the first day of November, it’s safe to say his Juventus squad took it to heart. In a major kind of way, too. Juventus didn’t just pick up three points […]

Round 20: Juventus vs. Cremonese match preview

Considering the change Serie A made a couple of years ago when it comes to the ritorno no longer mirroring the andata, this is not a surprise to anybody anymore. But when the second half of the season officially arrives and the first opponent up is a club you played all of two months ago, […]

Sergio’s Grab Bag: Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Seven out of nine ain’t bad. You usually take seven out of nine points — this is good. Keep telling yourself that while we try to forget one of the most frustrating matches we have seen recently that kept Juventus from getting a perfect nine out of nine in an awful draw against relegation battler […]

Analyzing Juventus’ impending free agents

It’s 2026, and that can only mean one thing: any player with less than six months remaining on his deal is free to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club. As far as Juventus are concerned, there are quite a few players who are at risk of departing Turin on a free transfer this summer. […]

Report: Juventus still weighing up offer to Liverpool for Federico Chiesa

We are now a full week into 2026 and the January transfer window. It is becoming even the more obvious that there is very much smoke when it comes to the growing fire of rumors that involve Juventus trying to bring back Federico Chiesa all of 18 months after they sold him to Liverpool. According […]

Reports: Juventus reach contract termination agreement with Igor Tudor

Understandably, it’s been a little while since we’ve much of anything about Igor Tudor following Juventus parting ways with the Croatian manager back in late October. It is usually that way — and especially so when you are dismissed early in a season in a league in which managers can’t just jump right back in […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Sassuolo

A lot can change in three days. Take Jonathan David, for example. Pilloried after his ugly penalty miss over the weekend as Juventus spurned chance after chance and dropped points to a Lecce side they had thoroughly outplayed, on Tuesday he showed everyone his strength of character by stepping up and playing his best game […]

Juventus dominate properly this time, see off Sassuolo

All of three days ago, Juventus dominated their opponent, but didn’t use that dominance properly and ended up dropping points when they couldn’t convert that dominance to goals. For a while, Tuesday night’s game against Sassuolo looked like it would be similar. Juve had at least managed to take score first after Pierre Kalulu’s cross […]

Juventus 3 – Sassuolo 0: Initial reaction and random observations

Juventus may have taken a 1-0 lead into the half against Sassuolo on Tuesday night, but it was certainly looking like one of those cases in which you were just left wanting a little more. You wanted another goal, not to be in a situation where one mistake — a lot like we saw against […]

Round 19: Juventus vs. Sassuolo match preview

When looking at the string of mid- and lower-table opponents Juventus had on the schedule to begin 2026, it was the second fixture of the new year that was going to be looked at as the biggest potential trap game. As it turned out, it only took Luciano Spalletti’s squad 90 minutes into January to […]

December’s Monthly Juventus Thoughts: Learning from mistakes

It has been a long time since we’ve said this, but Juventus are in fantastic form. Luciano Spalletti saw his team win every game in December outside of the loss against his former team, Napoli, though based on the second half of that game, a draw may have been a fairer result. More impressively, Juventus […]

Romano: Juve have held initial talks with Luciano Spalletti about a contract extension

It’s been a little under 2 1/2 months since Luciano Spalletti arrived at Juventus during a time in which the club was looking like a rudderless ship under a pair of much more inexperienced managers. While the first fixture of 2026 proved to be incredibly frustrating for a variety of reasons, the job that Spalletti […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Lecce

It’s hard to think of a more frustrating game than what played out on Saturday at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus dominated Lecce from start to finish, but failed to follow through on it. They couldn’t score the goals that their dominance warranted, and a single solitary mistake led to them having to chase the game. […]

Juventus can’t deliver the finishing blow in draw vs. Lecce

Like Danny, I too have spent a long time trying to think back to a time when Juventus dominated a game as thoroughly as they did against Lecce on Saturday and fail to win. I’ve tried to think of any game where one team has dominated so thoroughly and not won. The closest I came […]

Juventus 1 – Lecce 1: Initial reaction and random observations

Maybe it’s my mind failing me, but I’m having trouble remembering a game in which Juventus just flat-out dominated in the same way that they did against Lecce on Saturday yet didn’t come away with three points. I don’t know what other way to say it. Sure, we’re three days into 2026, but it’s going […]

Round 18: Juventus vs. Lecce match preview

We knew once Juventus got through three straight games against clubs that are direct competition for the top four (and then some) in Serie A, the schedule was going to become a lot more favorable and a string of provincial clubs would arrive. Juventus closed out 2025 with an opponent very much in the relegation […]

OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus name Marco Ottolini as their new sporting director

The long wait is officially over. After seven months of waiting, Juventus have filled their sporting director vacancy. It’s a familiar name to some at the club, with former Genoa director Marco Ottolini making his way back to Turin following three years at the Luigi Ferraris and becoming Juventus’ new sporting director, the Bianconeri announced […]
