Juventus – Atalanta: The Darkest Day in a Woeful Season (0 – 4)

In a crucial match to keep title hopes alive, Atalanta delivered a crushing defeat to Juventus, effectively ending the Bianconeri's season in the worst possible manner. This historic loss, the worst Juventus has faced in the last 50 years, has propelled Atalanta to pursue one of the greatest achievements in Italian football history. Tactical analysis and match report by Agostino Dosselli.

In recent years, Atalanta has been one of Juventus' most formidable challengers, with their clashes defining the trajectory of the 'Bergamaschi'. Despite their fierce rivalry, Atalanta has often faltered in the decisive matches, such as the Coppa Italia final that took place just a week before their Europa League triumph. As they meet again in this critical encounter the victor will keep their title dreams alive, while the defeated team will face a season-ending disappointment, considered by many as a potential failure for both clubs.

Juventus is currently navigating through a turbulent period, seeking the right direction after a series of unexpected setbacks. The team faced surprising defeats against PSV in the Champions League and Empoli in the Coppa Italia, leading to a wave of dissatisfaction among supporters, who organized a demonstration to express their discontent. Adding to the instability, the manager's position seems uncertain for the upcoming season, with rumours about potential candidates already making headlines in the Italian newspapers.
