Once upon a time in Europe, Juventus were one of the most fearsome clubs on the continent. During that era, facing the Italian giants was a terrible fate. Ask Gary Neville.
Unfortunately for the Bianconeri, times have changed greatly as Max Allegri’s men are simply hoping to avoid an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Paris Saint Germain tonight.
Juventus have started their domestic campaign on a shaky note, putting together a series of uninspiring displays. Now they are set to boost their Champions League run in an away match against mighty Paris Saint Germain.
Despite the French’s less decorated history, they appear to be heavy favorites thanks to their star-studded line-up.
According to ilBianconero, a section of the French media took the opportunity to take a jab or two towards Juventus, portraying the club in a derisive manner.
“For once, it won’t be necessary to be respectful to an ‘Old Lady’. The general idea would also be to help her on her way to the retirement home, where Juventus seems to be heading in the last two years, ”reads L’Équipe.
The media outlet also mentioned that players like Filippo Inzaghi, Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo (players who inflicted misery on the French in the past) are no longer present at Juventus.
Hopefully these uncreative clichéd comments will light a fire within our players and provoke a positive reaction.
