Thiago Motta's Juventus finally came to life in full over the weekend, putting forward one of their best performances of the season in a much-needed win over rival AC Milan to hopefully ease some of the pressure on the young squad.

At long last, Juventus won again. And, as an added bonus, Thiago Motta's squad played pretty well on top of it Saturday night to claim their first domestic win in a month.

Three points.

Seriously.

This is not a drill, my friends. After so many draws it might feel that way, but Juventus finally won again, and they did so with some room to spare as well. But it wasn't. Juventus, the Kings of the Draw so far this season, put in one of their best performances of the 2024-25 campaign to beat Milan and hopefully start something anew during this huge January stretch of games.

Not a bad way to go into the final two Champions League league phase fixtures, either. Now let's just hope that Juventus can go on and replicate what they did this past weekend a few more times going forward before January comes to an end.

On Episode 268 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

  • Takeaways from Juventus' week that was and big win over AC Milan on Saturday night.
  • Juventus played damn well against Milan on the way to their first win Serie A in a month. So what went right for Thiago Motta and his squad?
  • Here's something that went right: The brand of football that Motta implemented at Bologna last season was very much on display for his Juventus against Milan. It was quite nice.
  • So now, Juventus need to keep the Mottaball good vibes going, right? (Yes, of course!)
  • It is the middle of January and Juventus are very much seeing the transfer rumors increase both in terms of incoming and some surprising potential outgoings. We discuss rumors involving Randal Kolo Muani, Andrea Cambiaso (!!) and more.
