A couple of ex-Juventus players scored.
And now this has thrown Juventus' entire structure into doubt, which is their chief executive, Damien Kamoli, or Damien Kamoli, as people in the UK know him.
and the structure that he spent the last year putting in place, which has been a new sporting director, new technical director, and the coach, Luciano Spalletti, who they took the option to extend his contract a couple of weeks ago.
But now it feels like everything is thrown into doubt because Juventus might not qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 15 years.
So you're absolutely right, Jules, in what you're alluding to with Roma and Gasparini, in that I think the ownership there, whilst they have been gasping to qualify for Champions League over the last seven or eight years, because all the money you think that they spent on Jose Mourinho and then on hiring Jose Mourinho, all the money they spent on Daniel De Rossi, they need it, but it's almost normalised not being in the Champions League.
So they would be ahead of schedule under Gasparini if they got there.
Milan have shown, by failing to qualify last year, that they can still navigate the transfer market in such a way that they can, I wouldn't say be non-top four proof, but they've shown that they can find a way to balance the books without it.
Juventus is the one that they have a shareholder who keeps plunging lots of money in, the
after six years now since they won their last title, and remember Juventus won the league nine years in a row, for them to miss out on the Champions League and have to press the reset button again, I think that would be inconvenient, to say the least, for their owner, John Elkamp.
You know how much an honour that is.
You want to play in a way that they can show their skills, so that's what we're trying to do.
Win the World Cup, it's a dream.
