For the second consecutive Sunday, Juventus were handed a humiliating loss by a contender for a European position, this time at the hands of Fiorentina in a 3-0 loss in Florence.

Instead of a response against Fiorentina, Juventus just went out and did more of the same following their massive home defeat to Atalanta two Sundays ago.

It was bad.

It was very bad.

But for the last two weeks, Juventus have been the second best team on the field — and by a very significant margin that has resulted in the Bianconeri being outscored 7-0 in losses to Atalanta and now Fiorentina while recording a grand total of four shots on goal in the process.

Juventus' competition for the top four was going to give them a run for their money no matter what form they were in during the stretch run of the season. But now? Well, there's three or four teams competing for fourth place and Juve's arguably playing the worst out of all of them as we hit the March international break.

Not good, my friends. Not good at all.

On Episode 277 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

  • Takeaways from Juventus' 3-0 loss to Fiorentina over the weekend. (Hint: they're not very positive!)
  • What the heck happened to Juventus against Fiorentina?
  • How bad have things gotten to where this is what Juve are rolling out in two of their biggest remaining fixtures of the 2024-25 season?
  • How wrong did Thiago Motta get things against Fiorentina? (Hint: pretty bad.)
  • So what about these rumors about Andrea Agnelli maybe coming back to Juventus as the majority owner? How are we feeling? Do we actually buy any of this?
  • Social media questions — including pretty much all of them about Thiago Motta's future at Juventus.
