Juventus, the renowned Italian football club, is set to make two pivotal trips to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome over the next fortnight. These journeys could potentially shape their future in terms of securing a Champions League spot and winning some silverware before the 2023-24 season concludes.
The first trip holds significant importance as it could be instrumental in wrapping up a coveted Champions League spot. This journey is right on Juventus' doorstep, with Max Allegri's squad preparing for an intense face-off against Roma.
Interestingly, this time around, Juve will be playing against a Rome-based club. They are opening up their final four Serie A fixtures of the 2023-24 season against an evolved Roma squad that has undergone significant changes since they last met after Christmas.
Four months ago, not only did Juventus’ form look different than it does now but also the meeting between Allegri and Jose Mourinho was seen as a clash between two of Serie A's most risk-averse managers. However, with Mourinho sacked following Turin's 1-0 loss just weeks later, former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi stepped in bringing new energy that propelled Giallorossi from outside European spots to Serie A’s fifth and final Champions League spot.
The second trip — potentially accompanied by trophy-winning glory — is very much on Juve’s horizon. This journey represents their one and final chance at winning silverware before bidding adieu to the 2023-24 season ahead of an anticipated summer changeover.
As things stand at Matchday 35 in Serie A, there's potential for Juventus clinching a UCL spot with a win over Roma at the Olimpico on Sunday night. This could be a significant turning point for Juventus, marking their return to the Champions League.
