Carlos Tevez – A Champion in Four Different Leagues

While it might not be proof of excellence but simply of being in the right place at the right time, Carlos Tevez winning the Serie A championship with Juventus means he has now won a league title in four different leagues since becoming a pro footballer 13 years ago. More →

Miroslav Klose Scores 5 Goals in 60 Minutes (Lazio vs Bologna)

While Juventus were off securing their second consecutive Serie A title, Miroslav Klose showed that he can still score at the highest of levels, needing only 60 minutes to lead Lazio to a 6-0 win over Bologna while scoring five goals before being substituted to a standing ovation. More →

Juventus FC – Streak Stops at 49
