About Juventus
Juventus are Italian football's most successful club and, since Calciopoli, its most polarising. Thirty-six Scudetti (two officially stripped, the club still counts them) and a dominance of Serie A that saw nine consecutive titles between 2012 and 2020. The Allianz Stadium in Turin replaced the cavernous Stadio delle Alpi in 2011 and transformed the matchday experience, though the atmosphere still lacks the raw intensity of the old San Siro or the Maradona. The post-Allegri rebuild has been painful: a squad caught between generations, a points deduction for financial irregularities, and Champions League ambitions that currently exceed the reality. The Old Lady's identity is built on winning, and anything less creates institutional anxiety.
Legends
Alessandro Del Piero scored 290 goals across 19 seasons, staying through Serie B after Calciopoli when others left. Michel Platini won three consecutive Ballon d'Or awards at Juventus (1983-85), a spell of dominance that French football had never seen. Gianluigi Buffon's 17-year first spell included 509 appearances and a World Cup winner's medal. Gianni Agnelli didn't play for the club but his family's ownership defined it for over seventy years, making Juventus inseparable from Fiat, Turin, and Italian industrial power.
