Photo by Giuseppe Cottini/AC Milan via Getty Images Two of the biggest names in Italian football meet even though neither of them are playing all that well at the moment. Most years, a late-season meeting at the end of April between Juventus and AC Milan would garner attention for good number of days before things actually kick off. Throw into the fact that both teams are sitting in the top three, then you have the makings of all the storylines that the Italian press oh so desires: it’s the big matchup between two of the biggest clubs in Serie A with plenty at stake. ... well, that’s the case ..read more

Photo by Danilo Di Giovanni/Getty Images Coach’s comments ahead of Juventus clash against Milan Juventus will host Milan with a last opportunity to rein in the second-placed side and get the closing stanza to their own season back on track. Two wins in the last twelve games has not only seen Juve fall out of contending for the Scudetto, but there’s a very real chance now that fourth-placed Bologna could overhaul them with the two teams set to meet in the penultimate weekend of the season. Speaking during his pre-match press conference, coach Massimiliano Allegri talked about the upcoming game ..read more

Photo by Jonathan Moscrop/Getty Images Could there be some movement in the goalkeeper room for the first time in a couple of seasons? There will be a point in which Wojciech Szczesny, the man who has been Juventus’ starting goalkeeper for the better part of the last decade, will no longer be the one who rocks the No. 1 jersey. The thing is, those of us on the outside looking don’t totally know when that day may arrive. But it looks as though Juve might be preparing for that day as the summer quickly approaches. According to Italian transfer reporter Nicolo Schira in Friday’s edition of Tuttosp ..read more

We’re taking a look back at Juventus’ glorious history in the competition and what to look forward to next month in Rome. As the final whistle blew in Rome on Tuesday night, Manuel Locatelli was visibly emotional as he hugged teammate Weston McKennie. While reaching the Coppa Italia final is nothing new to Juventus, having now reached 22 in total, this one felt different. Maybe because it comes on the heels of a terrible second half to the season. Maybe because it will likely be Max Allegri’s last match in charge. Or maybe because it’s a reminder that winning is still in this team’s DNA. Wha ..read more

Photo by Danilo Di Giovanni/Getty Images Juventus made it into the Coppa Italia final in less than stellar fashion, kicking off a big week in which they could even end up putting some heat on second-place Milan before the weekend is over. The good news: Juventus are going to be playing in the Coppa Italia final. The bad news: They are still playing like ... I dunno, you go ahead and choose the word. That’s not exactly what you want to hear heading into a pretty important final stretch of the season that now includes a cup final. Instead, while Juve may be in said Coppa final now, the form of t ..read more

Photo by Andrea Staccioli/Insidefoto/LightRocket via Getty Images We talk Juve’s Coppa Italia adventure continuing, redemption for maligned players and their issues moving forward. I watched the game on replay and I was sure as hell Juventus was going to blow a two-goal lead to Lazio in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals on Tuesday night. I avoided any spoilers, stayed off of social media, and when I finally put on the game the first thing I looked for was the time of the recording which read a bit over two hours. Considering the pre-game show and halftime, it was a clear indicator ..read more

Photo by Claudio Pasquazi/Anadolu via Getty Images Coach’s comments after Juve stumble into the Coppa Italia Final Juventus found a way to bungle a two-goal first leg lead in the Coppa Italia semi-final at Lazio last night, but a late goal from Arkadiusz Milik was able to rescue a 3-2 aggregate win and passage into the Final, keeping Juve’s hopes alive of finally winning their first trophy in three years. Speaking after the game, coach Massimiliano Allegri did not sugarcoat things. “It was a game of suffering, we knew that it would be, especially after conceding a goal straight away from a se ..read more

Photo by Danilo Di Giovanni/Getty Images Lazio was pushing for a tremendous comeback, but one moment provided all that was needed to put Juve into another Coppa final. Juventus will be playing for a trophy this season. That is the positive that came out of the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against Lazio on Tuesday night. The rest? Not all that positive. Lazio won the match 2-1, and for most of the night looked primed to pull off a huge comeback from their 2-0 loss at the Allianz at the beginning of the month. They got off the mark early — always a must in these situations — thanks ..read more

Photo by Giuseppe Maffia/NurPhoto via Getty Images It’s was a night where Juve lost the game but won the tie — somehow. I have a confession that I would like to share with you. I was preparing for doom. It didn’t matter if it happened in regular time, stoppage time or even extra time, I was preparing for Juventus to provide us more doom. I was preparing for the latest edition of doom in a second half of a 2023-24 season full of it. I couldn’t help but prepare for it based on the simple fact that the last three months have been ... yeah. And yet ... Juventus (unintentionally) tried their damnde ..read more

Photo by Jonathan Moscrop/Getty Images Big game. Very big game tonight. Ninety minutes separate Juventus from the Coppa Italia final. Over the course of those 90 minutes, the goal is to not completely botch the two-goal aggregate lead that they have in their back pocket as they take to the field at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Can they actually do just that? Ahhhhhhh, well there’s the question we’re all wondering about. As one of Juventus’ worst runs of form over the last couple of decades only continued last Friday, we now turn our attention to Max Allegri’s squad having one last hope of win ..read more
