\"Alla Juventus vincere non è importante. È l'unica cosa che conta.\"
The Kenan Yildiz contract extension talks have taken a new turn. It’s not necessarily a bad one per se. Nor is it one that we should be particularly surprised by considering his extremely fast trajectory to impending stardom. But it’s a development nonetheless — and one that feels like it’s now on Juventus’ table to […]

Mattia Perin has routinely said in the past that playing a part-time role at Juventus is something that matters more to him than being the full-time starter at pretty much any of the other clubs in Italy. It’s why, even after such a lengthy stay in Turin, there hasn’t appeared to be a temptation for […]

It was a good weekend for Juventus. Just in the same kind of way in which last weekend was a good weekend for Juventus. Funny how that works when you win and move closer than you have been in weeks to the top four in Serie A? That’s something we haven’t been able to say […]

Sunday was the last in Juventus’ three-game stretch against direct competitors at the top of the table, and they acquitted themselves as well as they have in quite some time.

We are down to the final 180 minutes of football for Juventus in 2025. It has been a calendar in which three different men have managed Juventus — which, honestly, is something you never want to see take place no matter if you’re a team competing for Europe or simply not get relegated. But this […]

Juventus’ final game before Christmas arrives is a rather important one, with one of Serie A’s biggest early-season surprises making their way to Turin to try and keep their positive momentum going. In just four months at Roma, Gian Piero Gasperini has turned the Giallorossi into one of Europe’s best defensive units. Gasp’s squad certainly […]

And as things stand right […]

Thanks to a strong start to the 2025-26 season, Hellas Verona fullback Rafik Belghali has become the interest of a good number of Italy’s bigger clubs. It just so happens that Juventus look to be one of those clubs who are interested in trying to secure the services of the Algerian-born right back. That is […]

It’s the Hump Day edition of the Zona Mista, folks. Just think about it — after this day, we’re just a couple more days away from the weekend and Juventus returning to the field. Maybe that turns out a good thing. Maybe … well, we won’t think negative thoughts right now. There is some Juventus […]

“If you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment … would you capture it or just let it slip? The opening lyrics of Eminem’s 2002 hit “Lose Yourself” could just as easily be used to sum up the situation of Jonathan David. For what has seemed to […]

Highlighted by Juan Cabal’s excellent night off the bench, the Bianconeri vaulted over their opponents and, depending on the outcome of Monday’s game between […]

A week ago, Juventus went into a difficult stadium to play in and got absolutely everything wrong. They never gave themselves a chance to come up with a point or three against the defending champions (barf), who were perhaps at their most vulnerable. It was critical not to do the same on Sunday’s game against […]

A week ago, Luciano Spalletti and Juventus went to southern Italy and got things wrong from the very beginning. Spalletti’s approach was the wrong one, and the way in which he wanted to play was very much not well-executed by the players on the field. It was a mess, and something that Juve could really […]
