Locatelli: ‘Juventus only had one bad performance’ in Club World Cup Manuel Locatelli feels ‘the only game we really played badly was against Manchester City’ in the Club World Cup, as they were eliminated in a tight 1-0 result by Real Madrid. The Bianconeri knew they had a difficult draw after finishing runners-up in their group to Manchester City, but it was only a slender 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in Miami. ............ “I think today we gave our all, even against a very strong opponent, showed great team spirit. They managed to get a goal and we didn’t, it’s a pity, but the only game in this tournament where we really played badly was against Manchester City,” Locatelli said. “We are Juventus and therefore had hoped to progress in the competition, but this is the way it went. Juve must never be happy if we go out, but we gave our all and had the right attitude, whereas against Manchester City we were too sluggish and allowed them to control the game.” ............ “It has been a long and intense campaign, we are tired, now we need to recharge the batteries and try to restart with more energy.” ............ “It is not the time to think about next season, we just need to go spend some time with our families and recharge those batteries,” concluded Locatelli. .

Fantastic Di Gregorio could not save Juventus from Club World Cup exit Juventus were aware this fixture would be a significant challenge, as expected given the strength and reputation of the Madrid side. The Bianconeri opted to rest key players such as Kenan Yildiz ahead of their clash with Manchester City, and that decision appeared to pay off in the early stages of the match, with the team delivering a composed and confident performance. In the opening exchanges, Juventus created chances and might have taken the lead. At the same time, they effectively neutralised Madrid’s early attacking threats, keeping the score level and restricting clear opportunities. ............ As the match developed, Juventus were increasingly forced to defend deep. In a fixture where many expected standout performances across the pitch, it was Michele Di Gregorio who truly rose to the occasion. The goalkeeper produced a series of impressive saves as Madrid intensified their attacks, particularly from long-range efforts. Juventus’s defensive organisation kept the Spanish giants from entering their penalty area with ease, forcing Madrid to rely on distance shooting. ............ They started the second half brightly, but their resistance was eventually broken by a moment of quality. A well-taken goal from rising talent Gonzalo Garcia finally beat the outstanding Di Gregorio, giving Madrid a slender but decisive lead. ............ Despite the result, Juventus can take positives from their performance. Their earlier victories over Al Ain and Wydad may have given cause for optimism, but this encounter highlighted the gap that still exists when facing Europe’s elite sides. Even so, the 1-0 defeat was a respectable showing, and Juventus demonstrated tactical discipline, commitment and flashes of promise. The Bianconeri leave the competition with pride intact and valuable lessons gained from this hard-fought contest against one of Europe’s strongest teams. .

Club World Cup | Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus: Heroic Di Gregorio not enough Juventus capitulated to Real Madrid in the Club World Cup Round of 16, as Gonzalo Garcia broke through despite Michele Di Gregorio heroics. The Bianconeri lost Nicolò Savona to a badly sprained ankle during the 5-2 defeat to Manchester City and Federico Gatti had flu symptoms, so Daniele Rugani made his return to Juventus after a year at Ajax. ............ Randal Kolo Muani should’ve put Juve in front after seven minutes when sent clear by Kenan Yildiz, but his lob was over-hit and landed on the roof of an empty net. ............ Kenan Yildiz also saw his curler deflected inches past the far top corner, while Michele Di Gregorio needed a desperate reaction save from point-blank range on Jude Bellingham, allowing Rugani to hoof it clear. ............ Real Madrid finally had the breakthrough when Gonzalo Garcia was left unmarked for a free header from six yards on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s dinked cross after a period of consistent pressure. ............ The Di Gregorio show continued, getting down to fingertip an Aurelien Tchaoumeni daisy-cutter round the upright to keep it open until the final whistle, but Real Madrid will go on to face either Borussia Dortmund or Monterrey in the quarter-final of the Club World Cup. ............ .

Juventus close to reaching agreement with David Juventus resumed talks with Jonathan David’s agent today and the Bianconeri are close to reaching an agreement with the Canada international. ............ The Bianconeri had already reached last week a verbal agreement with the 25-year-old over a €6m-a-year deal plus add-ons. The Serie A giants, however, are yet to reach a complete agreement with the player’s entourage over agent fees. ............ Negotiations between Juventus and the player’s agents continued on Tuesday, July 1, with the Serie A giants making considerable progress. Juventus remain in talks with Victor Osimhen as well, as we also reported last week.

Tudor admits the weather in the USA is a concern but won’t complain Juventus are currently playing and training under some of the most challenging weather conditions the team has encountered in recent years during their participation in the Club World Cup in the United States. Despite the intense heat, the Bianconeri remain focused on their mission to secure the title and conclude the summer of 2025 on a high note. ............ The conditions in the United States have been far from ideal, with sweltering temperatures affecting both training and match play. Nevertheless, Juventus have shown strong intent, adapting well and securing positive results in their first two group stage fixtures. These performances are a testament to the team’s focus and determination, even if the climate has presented a notable obstacle. While the weather has posed difficulties, Juventus are not alone in facing such challenges. All participating teams have had to contend with the same environment, and Tudor has made it clear that this is no reason to lose focus or lower expectations. He commented: “Playing at these temperatures is not the best, but it is an issue that concerns all the participating teams, so it has to be accepted.” ............ Though the heat has tested the players’ physical limits, the team have continued to push forward, with Tudor ensuring that they maintain a professional mindset. The Croatian manager is keen to see his players rise above the discomfort and continue performing at the highest level. ............ .

How much Flamengo wants for selling Juventus target Juventus remain intent on signing Wesley Franca during the current transfer window, having monitored the Flamengo full-back for an extended period. The Brazilian is widely expected to make the move to Europe in the near future, and Juventus are eager to position themselves ahead of other interested clubs in the race for his signature. ............ In order to facilitate the transfer, Juventus are reportedly willing to offload Timothy Weah. The American international may be moved on to create room for Wesley, a clear indication of how highly the Brazilian is regarded by Juve. Wesley is also said to be open to a switch to Serie A, though any move remains contingent on an agreement being reached with Flamengo. Negotiations may prove complex, particularly in terms of valuation. While Juventus consider the player to be worth approximately 25 million euros, Flamengo are seeking a significantly higher fee. The Brazilian club values Wesley at no less than 40 million euros, though they remain open to discussions. ............ In the coming weeks, Juventus are expected to step up its efforts and seek a compromise that will bring the two sides closer to a deal. The club recognises the growing competition for Wesley’s services and is therefore eager to act swiftly to secure his transfer. ............ .

Che poi l'unica riserva buona ed esperta che abbiamo per la difesa l'ha lasciato in panchina (Rugani). Stasera non lo farà giocare nemmeno in emergenza? Gatti è influenzato, Savona infortunato, arretrerà Locatelli in difesa contro il Real Madrid?

Clamoroso al Cibali. City eliminato.
