The Old Lady Speaks: A Juventus Podcast

Episode 123: Bingeing the Europa League anthem

Juventus won’t be in the Champions League knockout rounds thanks to their loss to Benfica last week, and it’s not exactly like you like their chances in the Europa League these days, either.
On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

Takeaways from the week that was — including how the word “nadir” continues to come back in the fold even when you’ve though Juve has hit rock bottom, and how this season has basically forced us to run out of takeaways because it’s the same problems over and over again. (But we power on regardless!)

No more Champions League after Juventus faces Paris Saint-Germain this week.

That’s because Juventus’ latest Champions League loss, last Tuesday night against Benfica, means that they are officially out of the running for the knockout stages.

You won’t believe this, but Max Allegri didn’t get a lot of things right against Benfica.

So, it’s most likely the Europa League now unless something goes seriously wrong against PSG on Wednesday night. (Which, based on how Juve’s season has gone, you never know!)

Juventus’ game over the weekend was absolutely terrible outside of Nicolo Fagioli’s stunning goal against Lecce.

The kids, they’re doing pretty OK so far, aren’t they?

Twitter questions — including why J Medical is so busy all the time, could the recent exploits from Juve’s youngsters light a fire under the veterans’ backsides, and what realistic expectations are for the rest of the season are.
