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 […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 357: Overreactions to the first handful of Juventus games this season
We’re officially one-third of the way through the longest in-season international break there has ever been. folks. Because of that — and thankfully it’s been a relatively quiet one when it comes to Juventus things — we decided to have a little bit of fun with this week’s episode. Overreactions. Hot takes. You might not […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus sign Neto as new backup keeper following Kamil Grabara injury
It is pretty safe to say that this is a signing that Juventus’ new front office figured that they wouldn’t have to make at any point this season, let alone all of a month into the new campaign. The goalkeeping moves had been done in August, with two new players, Guglielmo Vicario and Kamil Grabara, […]
What do we actually mean when we say someone can finish?
Watch enough football, and it’s hard not to develop strong opinions about who can and can’t finish. Some players just seem to hit the ball cleaner, pick the right corner more often and stay calm when a chance falls to them. But watch a striker go through a cold month, and that reputation vanishes overnight […]
Report: Juventus could offer a new contract to rejuvenated Douglas Luiz as well
Be it because it’s the first international break of the 2026-27 season or just a matter of the summer transfer window being closed and the planning for the next transfer windows has already begun, the last couple of days has been something we commonly see in the month of September as front offices turn their […]
Report: Juventus set to open contract talks with Francisco Conceição later this year
With Kenan Yildiz out injured these past few weeks, Francisco Conceição has been looked upon to be the creative leader in attack for Luciano Spalletti and Juventus. The results, while a small sample size, has been mixed, with the diminutive Portuguese winger having some strong performances but also some trademark frustrating ones. Regardless of how […]
What are expectations for the beginning of Roberto Mancini’s second stint with Italy?
Friday night is what many hope will be the start of something good between the Italian national team and their new manager. The catch is that their new manager is also somebody who has coached them within the past decade, as Roberto Mancini makes his second debut — if we want to call it that […]
Reports: Juventus considering January move for Frosinone goalkeeper Lorenzo Palmisani
When your goalkeeping situation is very much unclear beyond the current season, you are bound to be linked to players who are either of the young and up-and-coming variety who may have done some pretty good things recently, those you have been linked to before or maybe even both. Considering it’s the first international break […]
This day in Juventus history: Paulo Dybala and Miralem Pjanić dismantle Torino in 4-0 derby rout
Derby days are usually defined by raw emotion, chaotic tackles, and tight margins, but on September 23, 2017, Juventus turned the Derby della Mole into a display of pure technical dominance. Hosting Siniša Mihajlović’s Torino at the Allianz Stadium, Massimiliano Allegri’s side delivered a ruthless 4-0 thrashing. At the heart of it all was Miralem […]
Reports: Juventus closing in on reunion with Neto as new backup goalkeeper
Giovanni Carnevali and the rest of the Juventus front office probably did not expect to be forced to dip into the free agent market to sign a new backup goalkeeper in the first few days of the September/October international break this season. But, that is the reality facing the Bianconeri higher-ups right now because of […]
Which Juventus players are away on international duty during the extended break?
We are now officially a couple of days into the first international break of the 2026-27 season — and it is one that will be longer than any in-season break that we’ve seen since the winter World Cup four years ago. And like just about every break before, there are a host of Juve players […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Randal Kolo Muani undergoes surgery for broken finger, won’t miss any game time
You see that picture above? Of course you do! Notice how Juventus striker Randal Kolo Muani has a couple of his fingers taped together? It wasn’t always like that as Juve took on Atalanta on Sunday evening in the final game before the first international break of the 2026-27 season arrived. Kolo Muani had to […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 356: Juventus go into the international break with a pair of wins
Two Sundays ago, things looked grim. Juventus were coming off a 3-2 loss to Sassuolo, with the game-winning goal scored in the final seconds of stoppage time and by a player who was on loan from the club he just handed the first defeat of the 2026-27 season. It was the kind of performance that […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Atalanta
Over the last eight years, Atalanta has always been a game that’s been circled as a difficult one. Perhaps it’s karma over Andrea Agnelli’s dismissive comments about the club in 2020, or the simple effect of Gian Piero Gasperini’s fantastic coaching over much of that time. Probably a little bit of both, as well as […]
Juventus claim first home win over Atalanta since 2018
Over the last decade, Atalanta has cemented themselves as Juventus’ bogey team. It was something that had been developing for years even before former club president Andrea Agnelli made his ill-fated March 2020 comments questioning whether the club deserved to be in the Champions League after “one great season” as opposed to other Italian clubs […]
Juventus 2 – Atalanta 0: Initial reaction and random observations
Following last Sunday’s last-second loss to Sassuolo, Juventus had 180 minutes to try and get back on track a little bit before the first international break of the season arrived. It involved two very different kinds of opponents — a struggling Dutch side and a domestic opponent that Juve had barely had any success against […]

Round 5: Juventus vs. Atalanta match preview
In previous years, we’ve gotten just a taste of a brand new season before the first international break in September arrives. This year, however, has been different — and that is all by design. Once Juventus takes the field at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night, it will the sixth time in all competitions that […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Kamil Grabara suffers ACL tear in training
We really just can’t have nice things anymore, can we? Juventus confirmed on their web site that goalkeeper Kamil Grabara suffered a torn ACL during Saturday’s training session. This comes barely two days after Grabara made his debut for the club against NEC Nijmegen in the Europa League on Thursday. It was a successful debut, […]
After the Europa League opener, how much should Luciano Spalletti change things up against Atalanta?
Juventus’ Europa League opener arrived with changes. Both in terms of the amount of goals the Bianconeri ended up scoring against a incredibly unimpressive Dutch opponent, but maybe more notably the tactical setup in which manager Luciano Spalletti decided to go with from the opening whistle. Out went the four-man backline that Spalletti has used […]
Only one Juventus player called up for Roberto Mancini’s first Italy squad
Much in the same fashion as Juventus’ starting lineup last weekend against Sassuolo, there won’t be much of a Bianconeri flavor when the Italian national team meets for their first meet-up at Coverciano during the upcoming international break. One Italian in the starting lineup last weekend at the Mapei. And now just one Juventus player […]
