  • Inter defeats Juventus to enter into Coppa Italia final

    Inter defeats Juventus to enter into Coppa Italia final

    Simone Inzaghi Inter side is into the 2023 Coppa Italia finals after they defeated Juventus. It’s their 1-0 second-leg win against the club with an aggregate of 2-1. Now, they are on the run to win the competition for the eighth time.

    Inter enters the Coppa Italia final after their 1-0 victory against Juventus

    Federico Dimarco netted the ball cleanly and it was enough to mark his club’s victory. Inter are off to the finals and will compete for their eighth Coppa Italia against the champions of the Fiorentina vs Cremonese draw, which concluded 2-0 for Fiorentina in the first leg. 

    Inter had a great start to the game, with a brilliant Barella dominating the midfield with intricate passing to forwards Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko, who were unable to convert it. 

    The star midfielder gave a tactful pass to Dimarco, who received the ball to his feet and wonderfully past Juventus keeper Perin to enter right inside the nets. 

    Dimarco’s strike made sure Inter’s entry to the finals for the second season in a row. Inter had struggled in Serie A, but that doesn’t seem to have had an impact on their efforts at the cup championships. 

    Where is the Nerazzuri on the table?

    The Nerazzuri stand sixth in the table now with just six three wins in the league since February 18. 

    However, they beat Benfica aside to get into the last four of the Champions League and have a sensational Milan derby in the semis after all-time rivals AC Milan saw off at Napoli. 

    Inter have their next game due on Sunday against Lazio, where the 2020-21 Serie A winners will want to spark and grab a second win.

  • UEFA could kick out Juventus from European Competition

    UEFA could kick out Juventus from European Competition

    UEFA could kick out Juventus from European competition for their alleged falsification of capital gains earned from transfer dealings. Fifteen penalization points were imposed on the Italian giants in January after being proven guilty of false accounting.

    UEFA could kick out Juventus due to falsification of capital gains

    The move by the UEFA was reversed after last week’s appeal while Italy’s highest sporting court re-examines the scenario, with possibilities of punishment at a later stage. 

    That reversal upgraded Juventus fr seventh to third position in the Serie A point table, keeping them in the race for Champions League qualification, but there might be an issue. 

    They might bag the Europa League before the semifinal face-off against Sevilla- this, too, could earn them a place in the Champions League. 

    Reports suggest the European Football governing body will carry out their individual investigation to analyze the club’s financial practices. 

    They have got documents from the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office and are scrutinizing the evidence, all set to intervene if a legal decision isn’t finalized by June end. 

    The reason is UEFA must finalize the entry lists for the upcoming season’s Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League. Italian clubs will probably enter the play-offs for the Europa Conference League in late August. That’s why a decision regarding which representatives are placed into which competition needs to be made before that. 

    In case the Italian court decides Juventus must be sanctioned, someone else must replace them in the next season.

    What if they don’t qualify for Europe altogether?

    In case they fail to qualify for Europe altogether with a strong number of competitors around them, a seeming omission from continental competition could be suspended until the 2024-25 season. 

    Stay tuned to find out what the club’s future has on hold!

  • Juventus back up to 3rd after 15-point deduction reversed

    Juventus back up to 3rd after 15-point deduction reversed

    Juventus‘ 15-point deduction has been reversed, after a hearing this week. As a result, the Bianconeri have shot up to third place in the Serie A table, and they are two points behind Lazio in second place. 

    Appeals to overturn the bans of Fabio Paratici (now at Tottenham), Andrea Agnelli, Federico Cherubini and Maurizio Arrivabene were rejected at the hearing. 

    But, Pavel Nedved, Paolo Garimberti, Assia Grazioli – Venier, Caitlin Mary Hughes, Daniela Marilungo, Francesco Roncaglio, and others have seen their appeals accepted. 

    Juventus have points deduction reversed; climb up to 3rd

    Juventus might be set for another points deduction since another round of sentencing will start in a month. Moreover, the prosecutor will also have the opportunity to appeal the points deduction reversal within a period of 30 days. 

    It now remains to be seen whether the Bianconeri will be able to maintain their position in the top four with results on the pitch, and administration-wise. 

    Credit must be given to Max Allegri for turning their season around, after their disastrous form in the beginning. Opportunities have been given to youngsters and there has been a tweak in playing style which has helped the team bounce back. 

    Juventus are also in the semifinals of the Europa League, with a tie against Sevilla in the works. And they have a very good chance of ending the season with a European trophy, since the Serie A title has almost been won by Napoli. 

  • Cristiano Ronaldo names the best XI that he has ever played with

    Cristiano Ronaldo names the best XI that he has ever played with

    Cristiano Ronaldo has named the best XI that he has played with over the course of his career. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has featured for Sporting  CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Al-Nassr during his career. And the majority of his team consists of players from his Real Madrid days, when he was undoubtedly at his best. 

    Only one player from his time at Juventus makes the list, while three feature from his Manchester United days. 

    Cristiano Ronaldo’s favourite teammates XI revealed 

    Here is the line-up chosen by Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Goal Arabia: 

    GK: Iker Casillas 

    DF: Marcelo

    DF: Sergio Ramos

    DF: Rio Ferdinand

    DF: Giorgio Chiellini 

    CM: Toni Kroos

    CM: Luka Modric

    CM: Paul Scholes

    RW: Gareth Bale 

    ST: Karim Benzema

    LW: Wayne Rooney 

    Casillas is an absolute no-brainer for the lineup, alongside Sergio Ramos and Marcelo in defence. Ferdinand makes the list alongside Chiellini, while Paul Scholes joins the midfield of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. 

    Bale and Benzema were his attack partners from his illustrious time at Real Madrid. They formed a lethal partnership under Zinedine Zidane and were able to win three Champions League titles in a row. 

    Rooney was also an attacking partner for Ronaldo back during his first time at Manchester United. The partnership helped him win his first ever Ballon d’Or while at United in 2008. 

  • Juventus likely to sign Arkadiusz Milik permanently for €7m

    Juventus likely to sign Arkadiusz Milik permanently for €7m

    Juventus could make Arkadiusz Milik‘s loan move from Marseille permanent at the end of the season. The player is keen on staying in Turin, and there is a €7 million buy option included in his contract. The club is optimistic about agreeing a permanent deal with him as well, and could finalise it by the end of the campaign. 

    The Polish striker has delivered when called upon for the Bianconeri, scoring six goals and providing one assist in 20 league appearances. Most of them have been from the bench, as he has been used in rotation with Dusan Vlahovic. 

    Arkadiusz Milik likely to stay at Juventus permanently 

    Milik spent four and a half years with Napoli before moving to Marseille. But things didn’t really click for him as well as he hoped it would. After spending a year with the French side, he returned to Italy to sign for Juventus. 

    The Bianconeri had Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala to reinforce their attack, but both players left this summer. As a result, the arrival of Arkadiusz Milik helped them add more personnel to the forward line. They also have Moise Kean, who has also been chipping in with goals. 

    The young Italian is also likely to be signed permanently, setting up their forward line for the coming years. Vlahovic’s future remains a bit unclear since there are several top clubs interested in signing him. However, he has three years on his contract with the Italian side and could choose to stay with them if he so wishes. 

  • Leandro Paredes to leave Juventus at the end of 22/23 after heated row with Allegri

    Leandro Paredes to leave Juventus at the end of 22/23 after heated row with Allegri

    Leandro Paredes is set to return to PSG at the end of the season, after his loan spell at Juventus expires. The midfielder signed for the Italian side in the summer with an option to buy, but it won’t be triggered since he hasn’t convinced the coach or the board with his performances. 

    The plan for him is to return to Paris, and a decision on his future will be made thereafter. 

    Leandro Paredes to return to PSG at the end of the season 

    The likes of Manuel Locatelli, Niccolo Fagioli and the in-form Adrien Rabiot have been preferred by Max Allegri in midfield over the Argentine. 

    He was recently involved in an argument with the head coach over his lack of minutes. The incident went down on Monday after the training session, and he refused to go to lunch with the rest of the team afterwards. 

    The Argentine has only played 615 minutes in the league, and has been used very sparingly in other competitions as well. With PSG bolstering their midfield last summer, it seems unlikely that he could still fit in. Leandro Paredes has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid in the summer, given his contract with PSG runs out in 2024. 

    And given that the French side are going in a different direction right now, it seems almost certain that he will be moving on this summer. 

  • Moise Kean to sign for Juventus permanently in the summer

    Moise Kean to sign for Juventus permanently in the summer

    Moise Kean is expected to be a permanent Juventus player once again. The striker is currently on loan at his boyhood club from Everton. However, Juventus have decided to activate the buy option in his contract at the end of the season. 

    As a result, they will receive €28 million from his sale, while he signs a new long-term contract with the Bianconeri. This season, Kean has scored seven goals across all competitions, while being in and out of the starting line-up. He has played only 1,192 minutes but averages a goal every 171 minutes. 

    Moise Kean to become permanent Juventus player next season 

    The youngster has been criticised for many off field distractions that have hindered his performances. However, it seems that he has gotten things back on track and is now fully focused on matters at hand. 

    “I have toured a lot, now I work hard to find stability and consistency. I have a personal staff of four people who follow me, a nutritionist, an athletic trainer and specialists who help me improve, I don’t neglect anything anymore,” he recently told Corriere dello Sport. 

    “I work with them even when I don’t have training, I work a lot on rhythm and to avoid wasting energy and some mistakes from the past. I score for Juve and for me.”

    Moise Kean previously spent loan spells at PSG and Hellas Verona, but now seems to be set for a solid time with Juventus. 

  • Paul Pogba dropped from Juventus squad for Europa League clash vs Freiburg

    Paul Pogba dropped from Juventus squad for Europa League clash vs Freiburg

    Paul Pogba has been dropped from the Juventus squad for their Europa League Round of 16 game against Freiburg for disciplinary reasons. He reported late to training on Wednesday, in a breach of club rules, and will not play any part in their mid-week game as a result. 

    The midfielder only recently made his second debut for the club after rejoining them in the summer. An injury to his knee and further complications prevented him from playing for all this time. He made his first appearance since signing for Juventus again on February 28, in the Turin derby. 

    Paul Pogba dropped from Europa League squad against Freiburg 

    The France international also made an appearance off the bench against Roma in the following game. But, he has already started attracting attention for more wrong reasons now. 

    While Paul Pogba will miss the game against Freiburg, he is expected to be back in contention for their game this weekend against Sampdoria. 

    As things stand, Juventus are fighting to get back to European spots following their 15-point deduction. They have been playing well following the horrific start to the season. And if they can keep up their form, they might make it back in spite of their punishment. 

    The Bianconeri are still one of the favourites to win the Europa League, which also features Manchester United, Sevilla, Arsenal and Roma fighting for the title.

  • Moise Kean rejoins Juventus permanently from Everton

    Moise Kean rejoins Juventus permanently from Everton

    Juventus have made Moise Kean’s loan move from Everton permanent. The attacker rejoined the club on loan in summer 2021, for a fee worth €7 million when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge. 

    The Italian club have now activated the €28 million buy option, and have signed the 23-year-old permanently. He has signed a contract with them until 2025 on the back of a rather impressive spell this season. He was initially part of their academy before moving to Everton in 2019, and briefly to PSG on a loan spell in 2020.

    Moise Kean rejoins Juventus permanently for €28 million 

    Kean has mostly been used off the bench by Max Allegri, but he has played for 1090 minutes in 32 games across all competitions. And in that time, he has found the back of the net seven times. 

    He was in the headlines for the wrong reasons during Juventus’ most recent game, though. Moise Kean was sent off after only 40 seconds on the pitch for a rash challenge on Gianluca Mancini. The two were involved in a tussle, which resulted in Kean kicking out at the defender. 

    And even though there was little contact, the referee showed him a straight red to leave the Bianconeri with ten men. Roma eventually went on to win the game 1-0 to climb back into the top four. 

    Juventus, on the other hand, have a long way to go in order to fight back to the top four, considering their 15-point deduction a few weeks ago. 

  • Leandro Paredes won’t be signed permanently by Juventus; PSG return at the end of 22/23

    Leandro Paredes won’t be signed permanently by Juventus; PSG return at the end of 22/23

    Leandro Paredes is expected to return to PSG at the end of the season since Juventus are not planning to activate his buy option. The clause inserted in the deal is worth €22 million, and the Bianconeri do not believe that the midfielder is a good fit for them going ahead. 

    Since joining the Serie A club, he has been quite disappointing and was recently benched for the game against Torino. Enzo Barrenechea of their youth team was handed his debut instead, and gave an impressive performance in the Turin derby as Juventus continued their winning ways. 

    Leandro Paredes to return to Paris Saint-Germain in June 2023 

    Max Allegri has made it clear that he only wants to select players that he trusts in the starting line-up. And as things stand, the 2022 World Cup winner has not been convincing enough to earn a regular spot in the XI. 

    “I am sorry for Paredes, but I take decisions for the team’s good. All those involved must be ready to help their teammates. The pitch does the talking,” Allegri said when asked about the Argentine and his situation in the squad. 

    The midfield has been quite turbulent for Juventus over the last few seasons, with several players moving in and out of the squad. 

    It seems unlikely that Leandro Paredes will be given a spot at PSG as well, with the likes of Renato Sanches, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler all now at the club.
