#HI5TORY

The summer of 2015, in many ways, marked a new dawn in the evolution of the side with several changes made to personnel. As Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente all bid farewell to Turin, the likes of Paulo Dybala, Sami Khedira, Mario Mandzukic, Simone Zaza, Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro entered the picture as 10 new players in total joined the Bianconeri ranks. The season began with the club’s seventh Italian Super Cup thanks to a 2-0 triumph over Lazio in Shanghai, but they were suffering an especially slow start to their Serie A campaign. After 10 games, the Old Lady found herself in 12th place and far away from reaching her objective of claiming an historic fifth successive Scudetto title. Then, following a humbling defeat away to Sassuolo, senior squad members Gianluigi Buffon and Patrice Evra called for change and for the group’s true, winning character to re-emerge. The team needed little time in heeding these words and, from their derby triumph over Torino later that week, would go on to win 25 from their next 26 games in the league. Meanwhile, they would put on a strong showing in the Champions League, in which they ultimately fell just short of overcoming a brilliant Bayern Munich side in the last 16 stage. Back on the domestic front, Allegri’s charges would not let their phenomenal run of form dip once and by 13 February they had overtaken Napoli at the top of the table after beating the Partenopei in a pulsating encounter at Juventus Stadium. Following victory away to Fiorentina on 25 April, Juve were on the cusp of completing arguably the most extraordinary of comebacks in Italian football history to claim a fifth consecutive league crown for the first time since their first Quinquennio celebration in 1935. The feat would be confirmed the following day when Roma defeated second-placed Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico – the scene of the Old Lady’s very next trophy-winning night, namely the Coppa Italia. By beating Milan 1-0 in extra-time in the capital, the Bianconeri created yet more history by becoming the first ever Italian team to win the league and cup double in consecutive campaigns.

#MY7H

The 2017/18 season saw Juventus claim a fourth consecutive Coppa Italia and seventh straight Scudetto. The number seven is a highly significant one: for the Egyptians, it represented life. The Greeks revered it, Plato called it ‘anima mundi.’ It is a number that cultures of the past, philosophies and religions looked up to as a symbol of perfection. Without wanting to be irreverent or disrespectful, ever since 13 May 2018, for our world – the small world of football – the number seven has a new meaning: Juventus.The seven consecutive titles won were something crazy, but they did not satisfy the hunger for victories and Allegri's team wrote a new, incredible chapter in its history.

#STRON9ER

Juve reescribe la historia otra vez, por noveno año consecutivo. Y para hacerlo ha elegido una modificación profunda, radical y llena de coraje: cambiar al entrenador. Luego de años de inolvidables éxitos, llegó al banco Maurizio Sarri.
La nueva forma de encarar los partidos, más agresiva y buscando de manera constante la posesión no ha modificado el destino de la liga. Los rivales cambian, sí, incluso durante la misma temporada, y luego de Inter fue Lazio el que trató de desbancar a los Bianconeri. Cuando el duelo era peleado y el equipo de Sarri lideraba por un punto, el mundo debió frenar. El Covid-19 forzó a todos a vivir días surreales, de una pausa obligada, del deseo de ver a los demás sin poder hacerlo. Días de boletines médicos, de positivos o negativos sobre un virus desconocido que había copado los titulares de la prensa.
Luego del regreso, después de más de tres meses, los estadios estaban vacíos y se jugó con una atmósfera desconocida. Pero la Juve fue más fuerte incluso ante ese escenario, e inmediatamente obtuvo una ventaja importante sobre sus rivales, con una serie de victorias consecutivas que le permitieron algunos tropiezos. Todo para alcanzar el noveno Scudetto al hilo, el 38 de su historia, a dos fechas del cierre. Al final, todo esto es para los fans, quienes junto al equipo han sido más fuertes que todo. Simplemente STRON9ER.

TWO NEW CUPS ADDED TO THE JUVE TROPHY CABINET

Juventus continued its period of transition in the 2020/21 season, embracing each new challenge as it arrived. Andrea Pirlo took up the position of coach and was tasked with leading a squad full of new signings (Arthur, Federico Chiesa, Dejan Kulusevski and Weston McKennie, the first American player ever to don the Bianconeri jersey), with an average age that had been brought down considerably and the welcome return of one Alvaro Morata also thrown into the mix.

The season itself would be much more evenly matched than in previous years, with Juventus finishing in fourth position to secure Champions League football for the following campaign. Despite this result, there were plenty of great moments along the way, such as the wins over Barcelona at the Camp Nou and AC Milan at San Siro. The undisputed highlights of the season, though, were the triumphs in the Italian Super Cup and the Coppa Italia, with both trophies won in Reggio Emilia – but at different stages in the season. Juve beat Napoli 2-0 in January (Cristiano Ronaldo and Morata with the goals) to win the Super Cup, while in May it was Kulusevski and Federico Chiesa who found the net as the Bianconeri beat Atalanta to clinch Coppa Italia glory. 

And last but not least, Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned Serie A’s top scorer as he continued to display his burning desire to outdo himself year on year.
