Lore & Background
Juventus are one of fourteen clubs to have won the tournament multiple times. They have lost more finals than they have won, with two wins and seven losses.
In Their Own Story
Inside the Olympiastadion, the roar for Morata’s equalizer felt like history was finally bending to Juve's will. Yet, as Rakitić scored just minutes later, that hope curdled into anxiety. When Neymar sealed the 3-1 scoreline in the second half, the stadium emptied not with anger, but a collective sigh of 'what if.' Buffon’s hands on his knees and Pirlo’s quiet walk off the pitch marked the end of one era, leaving the squad to carry the weight of being 'almost' champions.
