In recent weeks, the team in black and white had appeared to understand the importance of the situation and had produced a steady run of performances to keep their top four hopes alive.

Supporters had grown increasingly confident that Juventus would maintain their momentum and secure a place in the top four, which would guarantee Champions League football for the 2026/2027 season.
