Europa League Preview: Juventus vs. NEC Nijmegen
There have been years where Juventus arrive at their first European fixture with some optimism about how they’re playing. There have been other years in which the optimism has been, well, lacking for one reason or another. Coming out of the weekend and what happened against Sassuolo, you can probably guess which line the Juventus-related […]
This day in Juventus history: David Trezeguet makes his debut in a whirlwind against Brescia
September 16, 2000, was meant to be a straightforward early-season cup fixture, but it quickly devolved into pure, unadulterated Italian football chaos. Fresh off signing the headline addition of the summer transfer window — 22-year-old French hero David Trezeguet — Juventus traveled to the Stadio Mario Rigamonti to face Brescia in the first leg of […]
The costs of Juventus’ motionless football against Sassuolo
Like a true sicko, I’ve rewatched Juventus’ 3-2 loss to Sassuolo a couple of times now, and I keep landing on the same word: languid. Not slow in the methodical, patient sense. Slow in the sense of nothing actually happening. Guys getting the ball and looking up at statues. The whole thing carried a weirdly […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 355: Juventus’ defense falls apart against Sassuolo
This weekend was a bad weekend for Juventus. Really, really bad. Not only was the simple fact that they lost to Sassuolo bad, the nature of which they went about “achieving” that kind of result was even worse. Oh, and the fact that the game-winning goal was scored by a player that Juventus loaned to […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Sassuolo
Over the first three weeks of the 2026-27 season, Juventus’ attack has been … inconsistent. (That might be a charitable way to describe how the Bianconeri’s offense had looked coming into their matchup against Sassuolo on Sunday, but my therapist says I need to look for the positive in people more.) As shoddy and stale […]
Sloppy Juventus fall to Sassuolo on last-gasp goal from loanee Adzic
Irony is dead. Any irony that might have been left, in the entire world, Juventus’ game against Sassuolo on Sunday obliterated it. You remember the “puny god” scene with Hulk and Loki at the end of the original Avengers movie? Loki is the irony. The sequence of events that led to Sassuolo’s 3-2 victory on […]
Juventus 2 – Sassuolo 3: Initial reaction and random observations
In better days, all hell breaking loose has resulted in Juventus picking up a win when you didn’t necessarily expect them to based on how those previous portions of the game went. But for Juventus in 2026, all hell breaking loose involves game-changing mistakes and defensive breakdowns that only sees a potential smash-and-grab of three […]
Game Time Thread: Juventus vs. Sassuolo
MATCH INFO When: Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026. Where: Mapei Stadium, Sassuolo, 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.

Round 4: Juventus vs. Sassuolo match preview
Following the first Big Match of the 2026-27 season, Juventus are still very much short-handed and now on the cusp of the fixture list getting very, very busy. The start of the Europa League is on the horizon, and that means the Thursday-Sunday grind is nearly upon us (for at least one week before the […]
Juventus will likely have just one Italian in the starting lineup against Sassuolo this weekend
One of the more interesting talking points in Serie A during the first three weeks of the 2026-27 season is how some of the top teams in the league have had very few — if any — Italian players in some of their starting lineups. The most notable culprit of this is everybody’s favorite Cinderella […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Barbara Bonansea the latest Juventus Women star to head to the NWSL
Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen the same players who helped make Juventus Women what they have become over their first decade of existence head out on new adventures one by one. For much of that Italian core, it has involved a move to the United States and the NWSL. First there was […]
This day in Juventus history: Antonio Conte, Andrea Pirlo, and Arturo Vidal launch a new empire at Juventus Stadium
September 11, 2011, was the day the world of Italian football shifted back on its rightful axis. Three days after inaugurating their state-of-the-art club-owned home, Juventus hosted Parma in the first official competitive fixture at Juventus Stadium. What unfolded was not merely a 4–1 victory, but a statement of intent that signaled the end of […]
Juventus trio’s status to face Sassuolo still very much an unknown
As we are all well aware of right now, Juventus’ injury situation is just about the opposite you would hope to see at any point in a season, let alone just three games into a new campaign. And yet, the number of players who could miss out on this weekend’s trip to Sassuolo is pushing […]
The variance tax: How Juventus dominated Milan and still only left with a point
Three matches into the season, Luciano Spalletti has already established the league’s dominant defense. What we saw against Milan wasn’t just a good defensive outing. It was a masterclass in structural control — a theme that’s shown up multiple times in the first few matches. Rather than merely surviving attacks, Juventus are completely suffocating them […]
How would you line up during the Juventus injury crisis?
A new season is supposed to bring a fresh slate, but the injury bug had other plans. With Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram both out until 2027, Kenan Yıldız likely out until November or December, and Jérémie Boga out for at least a month — on top of various smaller injuries around the team — […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Jérémie Boga out for at least a month with hamstring injury
Manuel Locatelli going under the knife to repair his newfound meniscus issue was the headliner, but it unfortunately wasn’t the only injury news that Juventus had to deal with on Tuesday. In the same announcement in which Juve said that Locatelli has had successful knee surgery (with no timetable for his return actually given), they […]
OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Manuel Locatelli undergoes knee surgery, could miss 5-6 months
Just as was the case when Kenan Yildiz ended up breaking a bone in his toe last month, the worst-case scenario reports about Manuel Locatelli’s sudden knee injury and potential surgery needed turned out to be right on the money. Monday brought news that surgery was possible. Tuesday brought news that surgery has taken place. […]
Report: Locatelli faces three months on the shelf with meniscus tear
One of the questions coming out of Juventus’ Sunday clash with AC Milan was just what was going on with Manuel Locatelli. It was his second game in a row looking uncharacteristically slow and far less effective in defensive responsibilities that he usually excels in. The last thing the team needed as it tried to […]
The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, Episode 354: Striker Gatti salvages a point for Juventus against Milan
On Sunday night, Juventus turned to a last-ditch substitution to try and get a point on the board against AC Milan. That potential solution was Federico Gatti playing in attack, looking to get his head on the ball of a cross in stoppage time. Worked out. Up until that point, though, it was looking like […]
Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. AC Milan
Juventus’ Sunday prime time tilt against AC Milan had all the hallmarks of their last few seasons. Unfortunately, the bad ones. The Bianconeri outplayed their old rivals on the day. Indeed, they only allowed three shots all game. But that third and final shot, which also happened be (stop me if you heard this one […]
Gatti equalizes in stoppages vs. AC Milan, but Juventus are left ruing what could have been
Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could’ve been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday’s matchup against […]
Juventus 1 – AC Milan 1: Initial reaction and random observations
Being the highly competitive person that he seems to be thanks simply to the career arc he’s been on over the last decade, Federico Gatti would surely prefer to be somebody who plays more than seven or eight minutes in Juventus’ first three games of the season. He may be a Juventino at heart, but […]

Round 3: Juventus vs. AC Milan match preview
Juventus and AC Milan head into Sunday night’s showdown at the Allianz Stadium likely thinking the same kind of thing. After opening the 2026-27 season with wins over two provincial sides, the first big test of the new campaign is going to be lining up right across from them. And while one team has a […]
