Juventus Suffer Worst Defeat at Home in Nearly 50 Years | OneFootball

The recent run by Juventus had rekindled their hopes of entering the title race, but they crashed and burned against Atalanta on Sunday, losing four-nil. Michele Di Gregorio prevented the score from getting even worse on multiple occasions.

According to Sky, the Bianconeri hadn’t been beaten so severely at home since October 22nd, 1967. Torino bested them with the same result a few days after the passing of Gigi Meroni. Nestor Combin scored a hat-trick.

The last time Juventus conceded four goals at home was in a game versus Parma in 2011. They found a consolation one in that match. They also did it in the Champions League against Bayern Munich on December 8th, 2009.

Following the weekend’s results, the Old Lady is now nine points away from the top of the table. Lazio will overtake them in fourth place if they defeat Udinese on Monday night. Bologna slashed the gap to two points. Roma, which have been the hottest team in Serie A in 2025, aren’t too far behind.

Our Take on Juventus

The Scudetto hopes were always feeble, as they have never been consistent enough to be a threat. Even if Inter somehow took their eyes off the ball due to the Champions League, Napoli and Atalanta are just more organized and reliable. As far as this game goes, they even had a good start, but they tend to falter once the adversaries respond to their first waves of offense and things start going wrong. It’s a fire drill every time their defense is seriously tested. Then, Atalanta are deadly when they smell blood in the water and have room.
