Juventus : Live Updates Every Minute from 25K+ News Agencies Across the Globe

Andrea Pirlo has discussed West McKennie's weight loss at Juventus, insisting that the United States midfielder is "more professional than when he arrived".

The
Nerazzurri were the standout team in Serie A for the first half of the campaign, and actually led the table for longer than any other side: 18 matchweeks from Week 4 to 21.
To then fall away like they did – now down in fourth – has been quite disappointing, especially in light of such a historic opportunity. It also seems to affirm the perception of manager Stefano Pioli as a poor finisher, forever getting to the cusp of success but never able to close the show.
It immediately raises a lot of doubt within the project, as it now seems like, having gotten over the hump, city rivals Inter are primed for a period of dominance.

Aaron Ramsey admits to enduring a "frustrating couple of years" at Juventus, with the Welshman generating transfer talk in Italy amid ongoing struggles for form and fitness.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus are not backing down

It was all on Neymar to get Paris Saint-Germain through a crucial Champions League match as Kylian Mbappe watched on from the stands, injured. Beating Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City would have been a daunting challenge even with Mbappe available, but without him the pressure was on his Brazilian strike partner to deliver.
This, however, was what Neymar wanted all along. He made the move to the French capital in the first place to escape Lionel Messi’s shadow at Barcelona with PSG more than willing to make him the face of their club. The emergence of Mbappe changed the dynamic at the Parc des Princes, but Tuesday’s Champions League semi final second leg was how Neymar had originally envisaged it - all on his shoulders.

A late show from Ronaldo tipped the result in Juve's favour

Andrea Pirlo vowed Juventus would roar back to life next season after Inter Milan officially broke his side's nine-year Scudetto streak by clinching the title when Atalanta stumbled to a draw with Sassuolo on Sunday.

'We give our regards to Inter and to the coach, they deserve this success,' Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia. 
'We need to change, one cycle has closed but another one will open to compete for the Scudetto. We laboured for this win and we're proud, it was important after this afternoon's results. 
'Things were tricky when we allowed the goal, but we desperately wanted to bring home the result at the end. There was a mental fatigue. Something changes when you are used to always playing for the Scudetto. 
'For the last several weeks the objective has changed: it's a struggle but we must achieve the Champions League.'

Inter Milan were crowned Serie A champions on Sunday afternoon following Atalanta's 1-1 draw with Sassuolo, ending Juventus' nine-year reign in the process. 
The title win is Inter's 19th Scudetto in their history, a feat that has seen them eclipse the 18 won by city rivals AC Milan to become the second-most successful Italian outfit after the Old Lady.
Antonio Conte's side have secured top spot with four games left to spare to claim what has been a richly deserved title.
The Italian has turned the Nerazzurri into a dominant, unbeatable force. 
Much of Inter's success has been built upon the solid defensive foundations of Conte's iconic style, and that has been able to flourish with Romelu Lukaku providing a regular source of goals at centre-forward.

Real Madrid have "entered the race" to sign Fiorentina star
Dusan Vlahovic according to Mundo Deportivo. The 21-year-old Serbian forward has scored 19 goals in 36 appearances this season and has attracted interest from the likes of Liverpool, AS Roma and AC Milan, among others.

A late double from Cristiano Ronaldo helped Juventus back into the top-three in Serie A after a 2-1 victory over Udinese on Sunday evening.
Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo made just three changes, with Danilo, Weston McKennie and Federico Bernardeschi restored from the trip to Fiorentina last time out.
The side from Udine stunned Juventus in the first ten minutes as Nahuel Molina ran onto a quickly taken free-kick to fire into the far corner of the net.
McKennie almost pulled the visiting side back level three minutes before the half-hour mark from a header in the area following a corner-kick, but the American went inches wide.

Paul Pogba was here, there and everywhere during Manchester United's stunning 6-2 win over AS Roma.
The Red Devils took a massive step towards the Europa League final by putting the Italian giants to the sword at Old Trafford, spectacularly recovering from a 2-1 deficit at half-time.
Braces from Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani eventually put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's on the road to victory and it was at that point that Pogba truly joined the party.
Man Utd 6-2 AS Roma 
True to his form in 2021 generally, the Frenchman was impeccable across the full 90 minutes, but it certainly felt apt when he ended his Old Trafford goal drought to put United 5-2 up on the night.

Well, Ronaldo is understood to be unhappy at Juventus for a number of reasons.
Juve currently sit fourth in the Serie A table, level on points with fifth-placed AC Milan, who they still have to face on May 9. A game against champions-elect Inter is also on their schedule in the closing month of the campaign, meaning the potential to drop even more points is very real.
Despite still being in supreme physical condition, at 36, Ronaldo is running out of time if he wants to lift the European Cup for the sixth time in his career.
His contract in Turin expires in the summer of 2022, and it is believed that if Juventus fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League, they will have to look at potentially cutting Ronaldo from their wage bill.

Cristiano Ronaldo ready to join Manchester United or PSG owing to Juventus' struggles
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain will be among a long list of suitors if Ronaldo decides to leave Juventus
April 27, 2021 10:49 BST
Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the move again with reports claiming that the Portuguese superstar will not hang around in Turin if Juventus fail to qualify for the Champions League.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is said to be eyeing a return to former club Manchester United or Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain if he decides to end his time with the Serie A outfit.
Ronaldo, even at 36, is among the top goal scorers in Europe and there is certain to be a long line of suitors if he decides to leave Juventus at the end of the season. The Portugal international has scored 32 goals in his 29 appearances in all competitions.

What has been said?
The FIGC has adopted a new clause into its rules threatening clubs registering for tournaments not authorised by football's official governing bodies that they face expulsion from Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
"As for the anti-Super League rule, whoever is considering joining a competition which is not authorised by UEFA, FIFA and FIGC will lose their membership," Gravina said at a news conference.
"Anyone who has interpreted the Super League as an act of simple weakness on the part of some companies experiencing economic difficulties, is wrong.
"At the moment we have no news of who stayed and who left the Super League. This rule will be included in the national licenses and then it will be embedded in the sports justice code. 

Neither of them have left the European Super League yet...

Juventus star Paulo Dybala has explained his awkward 'kiss' with Cristiano Ronaldo during the 2019/20 Serie A campaign.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has threatened to ban the four clubs who haven't yet left the Super League from the Champions League.

And it also emphasised just how disconnected the elites are from the women’s game.
In the Super League’s 745-word press release, there were only 27 regarding a vague promise to women’s football.
“As soon as practicable after the start of the men’s competition, a corresponding women’s league will also be launched, helping to advance and develop the women’s game,” the statement read.

Manchester City women’s head coach Gareth Taylor put it well on Thursday, remarking how it felt like the women’s game was “thrown in late and almost at the bottom of many other bullet points”.

Kean has told
Gazzetta dello Sport when asked about his experiences at Juve and subsequent sale: "I had a lot of important coaches at Juve, including Fabio Grosso at the youth team and [Massimiliano] Allegri, who put his faith in me despite the fact I was a bit of a hot-head at the time… He let me play, he believed in me. I will always be grateful.
"I really liked Allegri. He had this way of joking with you, and you’d laugh, but then later think about it and realise he was trying to tell you something important. He helped me so much.

Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Cristiano Ronaldo's agent over a potential return to the Premier League.
United have contacted Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes in order to begin negotiations with the player and Juventus over a potential return to Old Trafford next season, according to reports from Gazetta dello Sport h/t Daily Mail.
It is claimed that the Bianconeri would accept an offer as little as £26 million (R515 million) for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's signature, in order to avoid losing him for free when his contract expires at the end of next season.
