Roma has been having some rough times
It’s been 8 years since a team other than Juventus won the Scudetto. Yet thanks to underdog stories like Gasperini’s Atalanta, veteran superstrikers like Quagliarella and Di Natale, and more, Calcio fans still love “boring” Serie A. @RamezYNathan: https://t.co/PzLhArdb7D pic.twitter.com/sCPTFpO46A

With Allegri leaving and a potential decent squad overhaul, hopefully the makeover at Juve will make for a more competitive Scudetto race next season. Intrigued to see who will take over. This summer should be fun/chaotic.

Juventus - they have said NO to Mourinho before. They've been linked with Pochettino.

A bit sad, really.
Four European Cups, winning goal in two of the finals, a penalty in a third.
Arguably the best European Cup final goal ever. Arguably the best Copa del rey final goal ever too.
And it ends like this.
Cold.
