Juve risks yet another revolution: yesterday may have been the last time in the Champions League for many

What happens now at Juventus? Is it the end of yet another cycle? The questions are valid not only for the present but also for the future. Because many have branded the season in which Maurizio Sarri won the Scudetto and left the Champions League as certainly not memorable. And now? There are questions that Andrea Agnelli and Maurizio Arrivabene will have to answer but also others that will have to ask themselves. Is this the right path, is it the first year of a new story, or is it the wrong one again?

The last night for many?
Yesterday night risks being the last for many. For Paulo Dybala, hanging on to a renewal that has not yet arrived. For Alvaro Morata, who if he had to play the future in ninety minutes, he got it all wrong. For Matthijs de Ligt, because with the ubi maior e samples termination For Adrien Rabiot, waiting for Godot once again. For those who are always expiring, more Mattia De Sciglio and Federico Bernardeschi than for Juan Guillermo Cuadrado. For Moise Kean, a return that has no banquet. For Arthur, a millionaire purchase blessed by the budget and less by the balance of the midfield that he did not help build.

History repeats itself
Thus history repeats itself, the Champions League confirms Juventus’ favorite nightmare. After Ajax, Lyon, Porto, here is Villarreal. After a night of too many I would like, of many opportunities at the beginning and of a match that then showed all the limits of both Juventus and the latest strategies of its coach. There is no game and the short muzzle it is not enough when “the ball is smaller and weighs more”, Allegri dixit. Yes, the Livorno technician. He has signed a four-year contract to return and his place now does not seem in question but one of the few points from which Juve wants to start again for the future. Giving up would be an economic bloodbath and without the shift the Old Lady can no longer afford it.
