Serie A Woke Up: Juventus' Six-Year Scudetto Drought Explained
15 Nov
Summary
- Juventus hasn't won Serie A since 2020, a decline from nine consecutive titles.
- Club's decline partly self-inflicted, partly due to a stronger, recovered league.
- Rivals Inter, Milan, and Napoli significantly improved their performances since 2020.
Juventus's last Serie A title was in 2020, marking a significant fall from their nine-year dynasty. The club now finds itself in seventh place, aiming for fourth. This decline is attributed to approximately 65% self-inflicted issues and 35% due to a stronger Serie A.
Analysis reveals Juventus's points totals were already decreasing before 2020, with significant departures of experienced players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala. Simultaneously, Serie A rivals experienced a resurgence.
Inter Milan improved from 82 to 94 points, AC Milan from 66 to 86 points, and Napoli from 62 to 90 points. This increased competitiveness means the benchmark for winning the Scudetto has risen considerably, making Juventus's 83-point tally from their last title season insufficient in the current landscape.
