Juventus has experienced a notable decline in form, securing only one victory in their past seven matches, during which they have conceded a total of 11 goals. This downturn has seen them fall 17 points behind league leaders Inter in a span of less than two months.
The 2-2 draw Juventus achieved against Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday resulted in Milan overtaking Massimiliano Allegri’s side for second place in the Serie A table.
The crucial goal delivered by Daniele Rugani in the closing stages against Frosinone two weeks prior stands as their sole triumph in the aforementioned string of matches.
Juventus has registered draws against Empoli, Verona, and Atalanta, and suffered defeats against Inter, Napoli, and Udinese, while conceding 11 goals across these seven fixtures.
According to observations made by journalist Giuseppe Pastore on X platform (formerly Twitter), Juventus conceded two goals in each of four consecutive matches for the first time under Allegri’s management.
The stark contrast in Juventus’s standing is evident when considering that just under two months ago, they were perceived by Italian media as viable contenders for the league title. However, their situation shifted dramatically following a home draw against Empoli on January 27, which marked the onset of their current crisis.
Presently, Juventus finds themselves trailing Inter by 17 points and holding a 10-point advantage over Roma, who sit in fifth place.
Conversely, Juventus coach Allegri has consistently downplayed his team’s title aspirations, emphasizing instead the primary objective of securing qualification for the Champions League.
