Seventh last year and wishing not to participate in the Europa Conference League this season, Juventus saw in this 2023-2024 vintage the opportunity to get back up in Serie A. If it started well for the Bianconeri who were in a fight with Inter Milan for the title in the first part of the season, the situation has become complicated. Quickly excluded from the debates for the Scudetto against Inter Milan who chained together the points with strong mastery, Juventus could still qualify for the Champions League and was even on favorable waivers for a long time. Now, the situation is completely different, after a completely failed second part of the season.
It’s simple over the last 15 days of Serie A, Juventus is in twelfth place. The result of a catastrophic dynamic with only three victories against eight draws and four defeats over this period. In recent weeks, this has intensified. Since its 1-0 victory against Fiorentina on April 7, Juventus has had four draws against Torino (0-0), Cagliari (2-2), AC Milan (0-0) and AS Roma (1-1), which caused Vecchia Signora to slip behind AC Milan and the surprising Bologna team. This Sunday against a relegated Salernitana, we therefore had to take points to get back on track. It didn’t go as planned…
Another worrying draw against Salernitana
Quickly surprised by a goal from Niccolo Pierozzi (27th), Juventus chased the score all match. Unable to find the solution, until the 90th +2 and the equalizer in pain for Adrien Rabiot, Massimiliano Allegri’s team conceded a 1-1 draw which was a stain. Indeed, with this new setback, Juventus, which is seven points ahead of Atalanta, which has two games in hand and the same over AS Roma, which has a game in hand, is in the process of being cheered up by everyone. world. Certainly, Atalanta and AS Roma face each other this evening at 8:45 p.m. and at least one of the two will not benefit from it, but Juventus is giving itself quite a scare in a season which nevertheless seemed encouraging. Coach of the Turin club and predestined towards a departure, Massimiliano Allegri no longer seems to find the solution and the project looks complicated for next season.
Still well placed for qualification for the Champions League and assured of at least the Europa League, Juventus is in any case experiencing great frustration in this final stretch of the season. The Italian press points out the terrible performance of Massimiliano Allegri’s flock. “Rabiot avoids mockery” note on his side “the Corriere dello Sport” When Gazzetta dello Sport also underlines the Frenchman’s goal: “Rabiot avoids collapse against Salernitana in the 91st minute.” “Juve, bad show: only draw with relegated Salernitana” underlines Tuttosport. A ridiculous spectacle which the people of Turin would have done without. This is not the best opportunity to prepare for the final of the Italian Cup this Wednesday against Atalanta which is the perfect opportunity for the Turinese to win their first trophy since the 2021 Italian Cup. The end of the season of Juventus is turning into a nightmare…
