By now Juventus were no longer playing in pink, but in the black and white stripes for which they would become famous the world over, as well as earning the nickname Bianconeri of course.

Indeed, County would help the Bianconeri cut the ribbon on their current home by playing a friendly match on the night of Allianz Stadium’s inauguration on 8 September 2011.
