Juventus, as the most successful club in Italy, usually has bigger goals than the Europa League when it comes to continental football. However, after a disappointing campaign in the Champions League, in which he only obtained one victory in six games, the team is in the second European competition, where he is one of the favorites to lift the trophy next spring.
can you do it? These are some of the obstacles that the club could find on the way.
Elimination against Nantes
Although the rival to beat is Nantes, many fans would have preferred it to be another team that got their luck, like for example, The Monaco, since Monaco is one of the classic European destinations, located on the French Riviera and with a pleasant climate all year round. its capital, Montecarlo, represents a time of bygone, with its old and grandiose casinos, that contrast with the technological casinos online what can be found today. It's also a great place to see beautiful cobbled streets and old buildings..
Nantes, on the other hand, is a rainy port city on the northwest coast of France that is unappealing to the fans who visit it. However, many do not care, as FC Nantes are having a much tougher season than their south coast compatriots: while Monaco are struggling to play in Europe again next season, the Canaris face relegation having won just two of their first 14 parties.
Juve have a better chance of reaching the quarterfinals against Monaco, whose strikers, Wissam Ben Yedder and Breel Embolo, they are in great shape. The team should also be happy to have avoided the greats of Manchester United and a strong Union Berlin, that keeps pace with Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga.
The round of 16 and more
Juve is one of the great favorites to eliminate Nantes and, in case you do, will qualify along with the other seven winners of the tie and the eight winners of the group stage of the Europa League. In this point, the Turin team could be in trouble.
In addition to Manchester United, the team could face Ajax, to Barcelona, to Arsenal or Bayer Leverkusen. A tie against any of them will force Juve to do their best and put on one of their best performances of the season.. Besides, these great teams are Juve's main rivals in the fight for the title.
Arsenal's good start to the season makes them favorites for 4/1, and Juventus is fourth on the list for 12/1.
Key players
If Juventus intends to surpass these leading teams, will have to rely on the solid defense that coach Massimiliano Allegri has built this season, and who has conceded just a few goals in the first 15 matches of the season.
The key is the central pair formed by the legendary Leo Bonucci and the Brazilian Bremer, who joined in the summer from Torino. The two seem to have played together for years., and the positive aspect that Italy have not qualified for the World Cup is that the veteran Bonucci will have a well-deserved rest in winter.
In the front, the wingers Filip Kosti
and Juan Cuadrado have been in charge of the services, and his assists already reach two figures, while Dusan Vlahovic resumed the path of the magnificent campaign 21/22 with six goals in his first 10 Serie A matches this season.
At first sight, Juve has a team built for cup football, with his average defense and his ability to damage teams on the counterattack. Allegri has also proven his worth in the big championships, we cannot forget that his Juve team reached the Champions League final twice in 2015 y 2017.
The final
Budapest's Puskás Aréna Stadium may not mean much to Juve fans, but that could change the 31 May if they reach the final of the Europa League that will be played there.
The stadium has a capacity for about 70.000 personas, so tens of thousands of fans of either contending team will have the chance to watch their club rise to glory live.
If Juve win, It will be his first major European trophy in 27 years, since he won the Champions League and the Super Cup in 1996.
