Juventus FC – Fernando Llorente With a Championship Goal
It might be a bit too soon to crown the next Serie A champions, but there was something special about Fernando Llorente scoring a 90th minute goal for Juventus to give them the dramatic win in another lackluster display, which fit quite perfectly with the results around them, making it seem like it might once again be a Bianconeri season.

Paul Pogba & Andrea Pirlo With Perfect Goals (Juventus vs Napoli)
Things are returning to normal in the Italian Serie A. AS Roma aren’t perfect anymore, Juventus beat Napoli 3-0 in the first meeting between the two, and Paul Pogba follows a beautiful Andrea Pirlo free kick with what might be the best goal we’ve seen this season.

Juventus vs Real Madrid – Cristiano Ronaldo Turns it On and Off
There’s no other player in the world right now on the scoring run Cristiano Ronaldo is on with 8 goals in the first 4 matches of the Champions League this season, tying a 11 year-old record, showing a remarkable ability to look horrible for one half and then switch to dangerous with every touch later on as Real Madrid drew 2-2 with Juventus and pretty much punched their ticket to the round of 16.

Juventus FC – Antonio Conte Needs to Get Creative
For two years, the super strong midfield and the 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 system, depending on how defensive Juventus wanted to play, worked like a charm. Not a lot of goals, but there weren’t too many problems keeping a clean sheet, and winning Serie A titles. Three years into the Antonio Conte project, maybe it’s time for a slightly refreshing change.

Real Madrid & Juventus Interested in Nemanja Vidic
The declining form and injuries of Nemanja Vidic aren’t stopping teams from the rest of Europe to show interest in the Manchester United centre back, as both Juventus and Real Madrid are already planning making a move for the player, whose contract runs out at the end of the season.

Juventus FC – Sebastian Giovinco Still Has His Uses
The deeper we go into the Serie A season, it’s quite clear that Juventus aren’t going to relatively comfortably win a third consecutive title. Teams are taking out Andrea Pirlo, the midfield isn’t finding the answers, and it seems that the team only starts playing with conviction after a substitution by Antonio Conte (this time Sebastian Giovinco) or conceding a goal that forces them to raise their game.

Juventus FC – Arturo Vidal Can’t Keep Saving Them
After waiting for so long to get their attack fixed and possibly succeeding by adding Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente, the usually impregnable Juventus defense has been looking awkward this season, while the midfield unit with Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal looks slow and predictable.

From the Shocking AS Roma, to the Solid Juventus & Napoli, to the Predictably Awful AC Milan
Even though five matches aren’t enough to tell us how the season in the Serie A will unfold, it is quite shocking to see AS Roma perfect up until now, while nothing is surprising about Juventus and Napoli looks solid, confident and undefeated, while the problems at AC Milan, a club that’s great only by name, shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

Juventus FC – Why Fernando Llorente Isn’t Playing
One of the surprising absentees from the Juventus lineups this season has been Fernando Llorente, signed this summer as answer to the club’s forward problems, but so far has seen only one minute of action in the Serie A and Champions League matches.
