The curtains have been drawn on yet another exciting Serie A season which, of course, makes way for months of transfer talk. Indeed, transfer rumors are something that can excite and turn off people in equal measure. Some of rumors out of the rumor mill seem outlandish while a few and just a handful of them have some amount of substance. But that is the general norm, papers have to be sold, transfer speculation has to be made. How else […]

Sampdoria completed the double over Juventus with an incredible 3-2 win at Marassi with goals from Eder, Lorenzo De Silvestri and Mauro Icardi. Juventus travelled to Genoa to face Sampdoria in their final Serie A fixture of the season with seemingly little to play for on both sides with the Doria safe from relegation and the Bianconeri having successfully retained their title. However there was a motivation for Juve to win this game as Sampdoria won the previous meeting between […]

Juventus missed the chance to set a new record points total as a great solo goal from Victor Ibarbo held the Champions to a 1-1 draw in Turin. Juve had already clinched the Scudetto title last week with a win against Palermo but were now targeting the 91 points record set by Fabio Capello’s Juventus team in the 2005/06 season, despite this title later being stripped from the club during the Calciopoli scandal. Cagliari meanwhile had little to play for […]

Almost a year ago to the day Juventus have claimed back to back titles. Last season it was in Trieste away to Cagliari, this season in front of the home fans at home to Palermo. Juventus won the game thanks to a penalty from Arturo Vidal. This is Juventus’ 29th Scudetto and it would have been 31 but two were taken away due to the betting scandal of 2006. On Saturday there were two matches the early evening kick off […]

Contrasting fortunes between the Turin sides see hosts Torino looking for valuable points to help their chances of survival while Juventus could possibly wrap up the Serie A title with a win if other results go their way this weekend. Torino came so close to a valuable point last weekend at Fiorentina when they made a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down to draw level only to then lose 4-3 as La Viola grabbed a later winner. The hosts have a […]

Juventus tightened their grip on the Serie A title with a 1-0 victory over an uninspiring AC Milan at the Juventus stadium. A second half penalty converted by Arturo Vidal proved not only to be enough for Juventus but also the only highlight in an uneventful encounter. A match that had promised so much offered so little. After all the controversy that surrounded last year’s meeting between the two sides and with Milan’s fight for Champions League football, the match […]

A brace from midfielder Arturo Vidal gave Juventus a 2-0 victory over Lazio in Rome to move another step closer to a second successive Serie A title for the Bianconeri. Juve came into the game knowing a win would put them 11 points clear at the top of the table while Lazio were looking to keep their slim chances of a Champions League place for next season alive.

Mauricio Isla was somewhat of a surprise signing by Juventus prior to the 2012-2013 season. His arrival seemed to be welcomed by some, while questioned by others.

It was early on in the transfer window when Juventus announced the signing of Kwadwo Asamoah and Mauricio Isla from Udinese on a co-ownership deal. […]

Juventus picked the wrong time to play their worst match since the days of Luigi Del Neri. The Bianconeri were completely outplayed in every facet of Tuesday’s Champions League quarterfinal match with Bayern Munich, falling 2-0 in a contest that could easily have ended with a much more humiliating scoreline. “We have to be honest and say the better team won on the night,” Antonio Conte told Sky Sports Italia after the match. “Seeing as we are coming back to […]

Kwadwo Asamoah hasn’t quite been the unstoppable force he was at the very start of the season. The Ghanaian has looked jaded since returning from the six weeks he spent at the African Cup of Nations with Ghana. Primarily bought in during the summer so as to add depth to the Juventus midfield, keeping in mind the club would be battling on three fronts. Asamoah, though, was converted into a wing-back by Antonio Conte. And he took that role like […]
