BEST
ESPANA 82: after a bad starting against Poland, Perù, and Cameroon........ Italy had in sort a round with Argentina and Brazil, with Maradona and Zico: if the the initial victory against Argentina was fantastic (2-1), that one against Brazil was epic (3-2 with Paolo Rossi's hat-trick).............. Semifinal and final against Poland (again) and Germany were simply dominated
Champions' Cup 1982/83 : after years of english teams' domination, JUVE went to win at the Villa Park 2-1 with the rising star PLATINI: since that time, he was best player I've ever seen (Maradona included)
Serie A 1985/86: JUVE and AS Rome have got the same points when they go to play the second last match, both in their home: while JUVE defeat AC Milan, AS Rome collapse 3-2 against Lecce, that were the last ones in the rank and already relegated in second division since lots of weeks
UEFA Cup 1992/93: with fantastic performances in semifinals and finals, ROBERTO BAGGIO starts to enter football history
CH. League 1995/96: first match for JUVE in 9 years, at Borussia Dortmund home..... after a struggling beginning, the ball arrives on the feet of a young player.....instead of going towards the goal, he starts going back..... I thought:"Whyy ?? "....suddenly he let start a shot just under the set in the opposite site, stepping over the goalkeeper for an unbelieveble goal....... JUVE went to win 3-1: a star was born........since that game, he made 5 goals like that in 5 ( five !!) consecutive matches like that in Ch.LEAGUE.....his name is DEL PIERO
SERIE A 1996/97: one the of the best year for JUVENTUS, one of the worst for AC MILAN........... in march they match in S.Siro: nobody expected JUVE to win 1-6 !!!!
EURO 2000: against a wonderful Holland, at their home, Italy played the most struggling match I've ever seen.......... with 10 men because an early sent off in the first period, Italy passed through also 2 penalties, both missed by Holland ............. at the end, penalties shoot-out saw us win 4-1........... adding regular time and final penalties, Holland missed 5 on 6 !!!
SERIE A 2001/02: in the last match INTER leads the rank one point more than JUVE: they go to play against Lazio in Rome while Juve go to Udine..... Inter takes itself on 2-1 and seems all done......but then, 2-2......3-2 for Lazio ....4-2 !!!....while JUVE is easily winning in Udine 0-2 (Trezeguet, Del Piero)...... it's a last match overtaking for a unforgettable title
Ch. LEAGUE 2002/03, semifinal: one of the most impressive teams ever, defending champions Real Madrid with R.Carlos, Zidane, Raul, Figo, Ronaldo and still great players giving balance in the midfield (such Makelele and Cambiasso) seems to be predestinated to dominate the Cup......... but the first match at Bernabeu was not so favorable, just 2-1 against JUVE, who starts to believe in the great exploit: the second leg in Turin is a triumph for the black-whites..... Trezeguet, Del Piero and Nedved (next Golden Ball) took JUVE on a 3-0, while BUFFON neutralizes a penalty to FIGO..... the "Delle Alpi" had its most magic night, ruined but the totally useless Nedved's fault in a useless ball in the midfield..... he will miss the final for the yellow card....and all the JUVE with its leader
GERMANY 2006: last minute penalty against AUSTRALIA and the final part of the semifinal against Germany with the Grosso's and Del Piero's scoring got me simply crazy............ No comment about Grosso's penalty against France
WORST
Champions'Cup Final 1983: one of the greatest team ever, the JUVE of six Italy world champions and the stars Platini and Boniek misses completely the final against Hambourg after showing a wonderful football in all Europe
ITALY 90: italian dream ends in semifinal, after a shootout against a poor Argentina totally voted to destroy other side's game
CH.LEAGUE 1996/97 Final: another fantastic JUVE during the year, another wonderful team (Del Piero, Zidane, Vieri, Boksic, Jugovic, Peruzzi, ecc.) ends in another stupid final against some Borussia DORTMUND unknown (always beaten in all competitions those years)
Ch. LEAGUE 1997/98 Final : against a fantastic JUVE, Del Piero and Zidane are at the top of their career, as well as Inzaghi...... they score lots of goals, with Davids at their back ensuring protection ........... in the final against a poor Real MADRID (Sucker, Mijatovic, Karembeu) they don't succeed in doing anything...... The spanish side wins with a goal two metres in off-side
CH: LEAGUE 2002/03 Final: without the leader NEDVED, Juve loses the final against AC Milan, repeatedly beaten in the league and italian cups those years
