Juventus FC Founded in 1897, Juventus FC is the most successful club in the history of Italian football, characterized by high consistency in performance over the decades. The Turin-based team has accumulated 36 official national league titles, placing it at the top of the all-time Serie A table with a clear lead over clubs like Inter Milan and AC Milan. The domestic record of the Turin side is complemented by 15 Coppa Italia trophies and 9 Italian Supercups. Over the years, the strength of the team has been shaped by outstanding players and managers, among whom Giampiero Boniperti, Alessandro Del Piero, as well as managers Giovanni Trapattoni and Marcello Lippi, made significant contributions to the club's statistics and identity.
The most prominent period of the team's dominance in the 21st century was a streak of nine consecutive league titles won between 2012 and 2020. During this era, Juventus FC built its tactics around exceptional defensive discipline, maintaining an average of fewer than 0.7 goals conceded per match in individual seasons. Key roles in organizing the team were played by managers Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri, while the core of the defensive line consisted of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon alongside defenders Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, and Andrea Barzagli. A major offensive boost in the later phase of this era was the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, who finished his spell at the club with 101 goals in 134 official appearances.
On the international stage, the record of Juventus FC presents a more complex picture, marked by a high number of deep knockout runs alongside a lower conversion rate in finals. The club has lifted the European Cup twice (in 1985 and 1996), but has been defeated in the UEFA Champions League final seven times, which stands as the highest number in the history of the competition. In the modern context, the club is undergoing a squad and financial reconfiguration, aiming to optimize its wage budget while maintaining a steady presence in the top four of the Italian league and the knockout stages of UEFA competitions.
