Almost seventeen years later Calciopoli is still an open wound for the millions of Juventus fans around the world. After the Scudetto, the second in a row, conquered by the stratospheric team at the time coached by Fabio Capello, with seven players – Buffon, Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Camoranesi, Del Piero, Thuram and Trezeguet – who took part in the World Cup final won from Italy against France (plus Emerson, Nedved and Ibrahimovic…), sports justice revoked the two national titles, sending – among a thousand contradictions – the black and white club to Serie Bwith 30 penalty points later reduced first to 17 and then to 9.
