Fifteen years, hundreds of matches, goals, victories and star players. Since its opening in September 2011, the Stadium has become Juventus' home and one of the iconic venues in the club's recent history. These fifteen years can also be told through the numbers.
The Men's First Team have played 389 official matches at the Stadium, recording 282 wins, 76 draws and just 31 defeats. That's a win rate of over 72 per cent.
In these matches, Juventus have scored 778 goals, conceded 265 and kept a clean sheet on 195 occasions: practically one clean sheet every two matches.
Serie A naturally accounts for the largest share, with 287 matches, followed by the UEFA Champions League with 59, the Italian Cup with 35 and the UEFA Europa League with 8.
The first official goal was scored by Stephan Lichtsteiner against Parma on 11 September 2011. A few weeks later, on 2 October against Milan, the first brace at the Stadium was scored by Claudio Marchisio.

Anti-Israel journalist Rula Jebreal apologized "unconditionally" after calling House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., an "AIPAC monkey" during an interview earlier this week, a remark the Congressional Black Caucus and several Democratic lawmakers condemned as blatantly racist.
The comment came as Jebreal appeared on Wajahat Ali's "The Left Hook" podcast Wednesday and accused Jeffries, who is Black, of carrying out the agenda of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and blasted his support for Israel.
"His name is Hakeem. 'Hakeem' is an Arabic name which means 'healer.' He's not a healer, he's a divider," Jebreal said.

On September 3, Ermenegildo Zegna Group (NYSE:ZGN) reported first-half revenues of €987.3 million, up 6.4% year over year and 9.3% on an organic basis. Direct-to-consumer sales did nearly all the work, climbing 15.8% organically and now making up 86% of branded revenue. But headline profit told a rougher story, sliding to €28.4 million from €47.9 million a year earlier. The gap between a business growing almost everywhere that matters and a bottom line moving the other direction is what investors now have to untangle.
The clearest strength in the first half of 2026 is how much of Zegna's growth is coming from channels it controls directly. Direct-to-consumer revenue grew 12.1% as reported and 15.8% organically, while the Group deliberately shrank its wholesale business by 14.6% as it keeps trimming third-party accounts. The Zegna segment, which houses the flagship ZEGNA brand along with Textile, generated €724.3 million in revenue, up 9.7% year over year, with the ZEGNA brand itself growing 13.9% organically to €634.6 million. That segment's Adjusted EBIT Margin rose 50 basis points to 14.8%, driven by higher sales per square meter and better sell-through in its own stores.
Group-wide Adjusted EBIT rose to €74.5 million from €68.7 million, pushing the margin to 7.5%. The balance sheet moved in the right direction too, with the net cash surplus climbing to €59.6 million at June 30 from €52.1 million at December 31, 2025. Free cash flow flipped to a positive €19.2 million, compared with a negative €23.1 million a year earlier, helped by stronger operating cash flow and tighter working capital management. Even Tom Ford Fashion, still unprofitable, cut its Adjusted EBIT loss to €12.1 million from €19.4 million, a sign the newer brand is moving toward breakeven rather than away from it.
The drop in profit isn't just optics. H1 2025's €47.9 million figure included a €27.8 million non-cash gain from remeasuring non-controlling interest put option liabilities, a boost that didn't repeat this year. On top of that, the effective tax rate jumped to 38.8% from 29.6%, and the combined swing in financial expenses and foreign exchange moved to a negative €22.7 million from a positive €6.0 million. Together, those items explain most of the gap between a profit margin of 2.9% this year and 5.2% last year, even as operating profit itself improved to €68.5 million from €61.3 million.
Thom Browne is the segment causing the most concern. Revenue there fell 4.9% year over year to €123.1 million, and Adjusted EBIT swung to a loss of €8.3 million from a profit of €4.5 million, which the company attributed to foreign exchange pressure and investment in shifting the brand toward a retail-first model. Capital expenditure also climbed to €64 million from €54 million, largely tied to a new shoe production plant in Parma, and corporate costs rose to €12 million from €10.7 million as the Group builds out its structure.

Things are moving fast, very fast, too fast at Cremonese. Two defeats in Serie B, sure, but also qualification for the Coppa Italia against Parma this week... that's the record of Marco Giampaolo, who is already out less than two weeks after the restart. One word... why?
New season, same Olympic-level fitness. Luka Modric keeps adding to his legend. The Croatian is carrying on with AC Milan at the age of 40. The curious twist this season is that he is now coached by Ruben Amorim, who was also born in 1985.
A little cheap shot.

Shell has agreed to take full control of U.S. convenience store operator and fuel distributor Tri Star Energy, in a transaction that will more than double the energy major's company-owned convenience retail footprint in the United States.
Equilon Enterprises, which operates as Shell Oil Products US, will increase its ownership of Nashville-based Tri Star from 33% to 100%. The acquisition includes 320 fuel and convenience retail sites in Tennessee and surrounding states, along with fuel-supply agreements covering another 552 dealer-owned locations. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Shell is acquiring the remaining interest from The Parman Corporation, Kimbro Oil Company and their subsidiaries. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
The transaction represents a substantial expansion of Shell's directly controlled retail operations. While Shell already has around 12,000 branded fuel and convenience sites across 49 U.S. states, the vast majority are operated by wholesalers or dealers rather than owned directly by the company. Shell says its U.S. network serves more than 7 million customers per day.
Following completion, Tri Star will be operated by Texas Petroleum Group, a wholly owned unit of Shell Mobility & Convenience US. Shell expects the combined business to have nearly 550 company-owned convenience retail locations and supply agreements with around 650 dealer-owned sites across the southern United States.
Tri Star, founded in 2000, operates convenience-store brands including Twice Daily, Sudden Service and Little General and also owns the White Bison Coffee brand. Its wholesale fuel operation reaches multiple states, giving Shell additional exposure to both fuel distribution and higher-margin convenience and food-and-beverage sales.

A couple of days before the transfer deadline in Serie A arrived, Juventus played a game against Parma in their home opener at the Allianz Stadium. It was their first game without their talented young No. 10, Kenan Yildiz, and we were wondering just what the state of Luciano Spalletti's squad would be.
Juventus won the game 2-0.
Two players you did not necessarily expect to score goals, Nico González and Teun Koopmeiners, were the ones who found the back of the net and enabled the Bianconeri to start the new season with two straight wins.
The unexpected help is always appreciated.
And especially with Yildiz out until November at the very least, this team needs all the help it can get — especially in the first few weeks without their No. 10 and Spalletti is still trying to figure out all the new additions to his team.

Celtic are hopeful of signing Landon Emenalo on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea. The 18-year-old was expected to join Martin O'Neill's side as they look to provide left-back cover for Kieran Tierney.
Emenalo, who was included in Xabi Alonso's pre-season camp, has been up to Lennoxtown but a deal was delayed due to an injury. Now, Sky Sports' Anthony Joseph has revealed that parties are hopeful of concluding a deal tonight.
Celtic are expected to add Chelsea striker Shim Mheuka, who has completed a medical in London. The England U19 International has travelled to Glasgow and is expected to complete a loan switch.
The Hoops have signed Parma midfielder Oliver Sorensen on loan, with an option to buy, while Preston are close to signing Johnny Kenny in a deal worth £3m.

#deal #loan #emenalo #season

For the second straight summer, Juventus and Atlético Madrid have agreed to a loan deal involving a player who had a bit of a struggle during his first season in Turin with the hope that Spain cures some of those previous ills.
Last summer it was Nico Gonzalez, who is now back in Turin and looks set to stay after scoring the game-winning goal against Parma over the weekend. This summer, it's Canadian striker Jonathan David, whose first season in Turin could be described as quite the difficult one with not very many goals scored.
According to multiple reports out of Italy and Spain on Monday, Juventus at Atlético Madrid have agreed to a season-long loan deal for David. It ends a 12-month period in Turin in which David's struggles were vastly superior to good moments he showed under Igor Tudor and then especially Luciano Spalletti. David, who arrived on a free transfer from Lille and was subsequently handed a contract by former sporting chief Damien Comolli that made him one of the highest earners on the team, will now head to Atléti in hopes of following the same kind of path that Gonzalez did during the 2025-26 season. But as we found out with Nico, it doesn't necessarily equate to Atlético Madrid actually activating the buy option that they will have in the deal.
Said buy option is around €25 million, according to Fabrizio Romano. There are apparently no set clauses worked into the deal — it is very much a loan with option to buy situation.
The move to La Liga is the chance for David to get his career back on track after his performances with Juventus resulted in the lowest goal tally of his career, scoring just six goals in 35 appearances in Serie A last season. Once he got in a funk, it was tough for him to get out of it, and it was reflected in how his minutes suffered as a result as the season went on under Spalletti.

Aston Villa host **** nal at Villa Park on Monday looking to respond after a 4-0 opening-weekend defeat at Brighton, a result that left Unai Emery's side without a point or a shot on target.
The visit of the champions arrives amid significant summer turnover at Villa Park, with several new signings in line to feature for the first time.
Leon Bailey, Amadou Onana (knee), Johan Manzambi (knee) and Brian Madjo (ankle/foot) are all unavailable, and Joao Gomes is suspended. Tammy Abraham is a doubt with a groin/hip issue. Ollie Watkins departed the club this summer, adding to the selection questions facing Emery in attack.
Zion Suzuki, a £30 million signing from Parma, is expected to make his Villa debut in goal after Marco Bizot started the defeat at Brighton. Leon Goretzka, who joined the club on Thursday, is set to come straight into midfield in place of the suspended Gomes, partnering Boubacar Kamara. Nicolas Jackson is also in line for his first involvement, leading the line in Watkins' absence, with John McGinn, Emiliano Buendía and George Hemmings providing support behind him.
Aston Villa possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Cash, Lindelöf, Torres, Maatsen; Kamara, Goretzka; McGinn, Buendía, Hemmings; Jackson

Reigning Serie A champions Inter will look to continue their perfect start to the 2026-27 season when they visit Cagliari, who also got their league campaign off to a winning start last weekend.
Cristian Chivu's side set the pace for the rest of the division to match when they trumped newly-promoted Monza 4-1 in San Siro last Saturday, and will be hoping to make it back-to-back victories when they visit the Unipol Domus on Sunday evening. Kick-off is due at 19.45 BST.

Cagliari also picked up three points during the opening weekend of the 2026-27 season thanks to an Alessandro Romano strike in a 1-0 victory away against Parma.
According to pre-match reports from Sky Sport Italia, both sides could stick with unchanged starting line-ups following their winning starts last weekend.

Ever since the great Claude Rains first uttered the immortal line "Round up the usual suspects!" in Casablanca, the phrase has been ingrained in the popular lexicon — so much so that it inspired the ****** le of an entirely different movie nearly 50 years later. You hear it everywhere, in any context where you can expect to see a predictable set of participants.
On Saturday, a struggling Juventus were buoyed by a pair of very unusual suspects — guys most fans figured would be gone, or at least on their way out the door, by this point in the transfer window. Unable to penetrate a deep-lying Parma defense, it was Nico González who gave a moribund attack an instant shot in the arm, forcing a magical save before scoring a deflected goal off his own rebound to open the scoring. Then, with two minutes left, the game was sealed by another unlikely goalscorer: Teun Koopmeiners, who had just come on after an injury to Andrea Cambiaso and finished off a quick attack with a beautiful finish.
The unlikely redemption arcs from players most ****** umed were out of the team's plans, or at least on the very fringes, were welcome developments for a team that learned this week that their talisman, Kenan Yildiz, would miss two to three months once he undergoes surgery on a broken metatarsal. After a first half that seemed to be crying out for his creativity, it was the transfer-listed González who gave the Bianconeri the necessary spark to take Parma down 2-0 as they began to look forward to next week's big match against AC Milan.
Apart from Yildiz, Luciano Spalletti was also missing Weston McKennie (muscle fatigue), Edon Zhegrova, and Khéphren Thuram, who suffered a setback in his knee recovery and could now require surgery. Jeff Ekhator came back to make his first Juve squad in a competitive game. Spalletti's 4-2-3-1 was therefore shuffled a bit. Guglielmo Vicario started in goal after getting over the cramp that forced him off late against Frosinone. Pierre Kalulu and Zeki Çelik played on the defensive flanks, while Bremer was partnered with new signing Jhon Lucumí in the middle of defense. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz played in the midfield, while Francisco Conceição, Jonathan David, and Jérémie Boga supported Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Carlos Cuesta lost his first Parma match last week against Cagliari, and were looking for something better here. His only missing player was former Juve prospect Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, who had to have a surgery of his own this week. Edoardo Corvi started behind a 4-4-2. Enrico Delprato, Mariano Troilo, Dominik Drobnic, and Emanuele Valeri arrayed themselves in front of him. Sascha Britschgi and Mandela Keita bookended Christian Ordóñez and Adrían Bernabé in midfield. El Bilal Touré and Simone Lontani started up front. Drobnic and Lontani were both teenagers, and the former was making his debut.

After the Men's First Team's 2-0 win over Parma on Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 Serie A season, coach Luciano Spalletti, Guglielmo Vicario, and Nico Gonzalez shared their thoughts.
"I really liked how we played, both in the first and second halves. We weren't great at finding the right ******* e for triangles to get shots off, and then we were a little disorganised in the box. We put in a lot of crosses without finding that decisive play. But, we played well and with a clear objective, with quality in our play, and constant pressure that let us spend a lot of time in their half. Of course, you need to find that decisiveness as well, you need to anticipate, and to have the quality to capitalise on the work done. We probably weren't precise enough to trouble them more, but we created a lot of chances.
"[Randal] Kolo Muani can play on his own or with a strike partner. He's quick, skilled, and has a lot of quality. He needs to be more ruthless in certain situations because he has everything it takes to make a difference. He knows how to create ******* e for himself and I think, in all, he played well today."
"I was feeling a lot, as I've already said it's a dream that's being realised for me. Now we need to go again with enthusiasm, humility and balance. It's a good night for me, and for the team. Winning is never a given, it's what we work for, but we have to respect our opponent and they're always tough, so this win today was earned. We'll be back to work tomorrow [Sunday], so there's no time to rest on our laurels. We'll be back to work right away with next Sunday in mind."
"I'm happy for the team, we've been working well all week as well. We prepared well for today. I'm happy for the fans, and because I scored and we won."

Luciano Spalletti insists Juventus put in 'a great performance' for the 2-0 victory over Parma, despite jeers and criticism from fans and media, but admits they need a new midfielder.
The Bianconeri had a frustrating first half and were jeered by the crowd, particularly Jonathan David after his substitution, but the changes off the bench proved pivotal.

Specifically, Nico Gonzalez made an immediate impact by forcing a save, hitting the upright and then scoring on the rebound, while his high press also created the circumstances for another substitute to score late on in Teun Koopmeiners.
Spalletti had only said yesterday in his press conference that Nico Gonzalez was a player who always delivers wherever you put him, and that proved prescient.

Juventus hosts Parma in their first home league game of the season this evening, and it is one of the fixtures to follow today.
The Old Lady is one of the top teams in the country, and after a strong summer spending spree, they have been tipped to outperform their previous campaign.
The men at the Allianz Stadium know Parma will not be easy opponents, and if they do not improve on their performance against Frosinone, it could be bad news for them.
They have already lost Kenan Yildiz, while Weston McKennie is also unavailable for the fixture, meaning the men at the Allianz Stadium will make some changes to the team for this match.
With Yildiz unavailable, Kerim Alajbegovic could be handed a start on the left wing, a position he played many times at RB Salzburg, even though Luciano Spalletti sees him as a number 10.

Inter head into their second Serie A fixture of the 2026/27 season looking to build on their 4-1 victory over Monza at San Siro. Their first away trip of the campaign takes them to Sardinia on Sunday 30 August, where they will face Fabio Pisacane's Cagliari at the Unipol Domus, with kick-off at 20:45 CEST. Cagliari also began the season with a win, beating Parma 1-0 at the Tardini thanks to Alessandro Romano's spectacular late strike.
The two sides have met 90 times in Serie A, with Inter recording 47 wins, 29 draws and 14 defeats. In 45 meetings in Sardinia, the Nerazzurri have won 20, with seven Cagliari victories and 18 draws.
Inter have won nine of their last 10 Serie A meetings with Cagliari, with one draw. During that run, they have scored 26 goals, averaging 2.6 per game. Inter have also scored more Serie A goals against Cagliari than any other side, with 160, while only AC Milan have beaten the Rossoblù more often in the competition: 48 wins to Inter's 47, level with Juventus. The Nerazzurri have won six of their seven Serie A meetings with Cagliari played during the opening two matchdays, with one draw. The most recent came on 28 August 2023, when goals from Dumfries and Lautaro secured a 2-0 victory.
Inter have also won each of their last six Serie A away games against Cagliari, keeping a clean sheet in the last three. They have scored in 22 of their last 23 league visits to the Rossoblù, registering 47 goals in total — an average of 2.04 per game.
Both teams head to the Unipol Domus with three points after winning their opening fixtures. Cagliari recorded their first opening-day victory since 2013, while also extending their run to three consecutive wins dating back to the end of last season. Inter, meanwhile, have suffered just one defeat in their 23 Serie A matches played in 2026, remaining unbeaten in the other 22.

Chelsea have made contact over a move for Emiliano Martinez, according to BBC Sport, and that tells you plenty about where the club are with the goalkeeper position. When a side starts exploring a deal for a 33-year-old World Cup winner, it usually means concern has moved beyond background noise and into active planning.
Martinez is considered available after Aston Villa signed Zion Suzuki from Parma for about £30m. Villa and Chelsea already know each other's numbers. These clubs have done enough business in recent windows for ****** ody to pretend this would be complicated in principle. Morgan Rogers joined Chelsea for a club-record £117m, Alejandro Garnacho went the other way on an initial loan, and Nicolas Jackson, valued at around £65m, has also been mentioned as a possible Villa target.
Then there is the wider pattern. The clubs were part of the arrangement described as a "PSR swap", with Ian Maatsen joining Villa and Omari Kellyman, now at Strasbourg, moving to Chelsea. So if Chelsea want to test Villa's appetite for another deal, they know the route.
The timing matters. Robert Sanchez remains Chelsea's current number one, but the scrutiny is obvious. He was beaten at his near post by Josh King in the 3-2 win over Fulham and later spilled another effort, allowing Gonzalo Garcia to score. Those moments are exactly why transfer stories like this gather pace. Clubs can talk about trust all they like, but mistakes shape recruitment.

Jayden Oosterwolde is having the second stage of his medical with Roma on Wednesday, but there are growing reports that there are concerns about the injury that the Dutchman suffered in a recent Champions League qualifier with Fenerbahce.
Roma and Fenerbahce have shaken hands over a season-long loan deal with a potential €18m obligation to buy for versatile full-back Oosterwolde. The 25-year-old arrived in the Italian capital for his medical on Tuesday.

According to reports from the Corriere dello Sport, Oosterwolde had the first part of his medical on Tuesday, which was routine and focused on his general physical health.
Oosterwolde is having the second stage of his medical on Wednesday, which will reportedly include an in-depth examination of the injury that the former Twente and Parma man suffered during Fenerbahce's 2-0 victory over Sturm Graz in the first leg of their Champions League third-round qualifier on August 5.

Jan Ziolkowski could leave Roma in the final days of the transfer window.
Following the arrival of Koulierakis, the Polish defender, awaiting approval today for the transfer of Oosterwolde, who can also play in a back three, has fallen to the back row and risks limited playing time this season.
The 2005-born defender is popular with some foreign clubs, but in the last few hours, Monza has moved into pole position, even overtaking Parma.
Roma had inquired about signing Ziolkowski for around €7-8 million, in addition to two foreign clubs who had made official offers to Roma. However, at this price, Roma are now prioritizing a loan move.
In the last few hours, Monza has outbid Parma and two foreign clubs to sign Ziolkowski.

Juventus will welcome Parma to the Allianz Stadium in their next match, with the Bianconeri targeting all three points against a Parma side that has lost some of its key figures during this transfer window.
However, that does not mean Parma will be an easy team to face, and Juventus have two injury concerns ahead of the game, apart from Kenan Yildiz, who could be out for a long time.
The Bianconeri believe they have a squad capable of winning matches even when some players are unavailable, and they will expect the rest of the team to step up when Parma visit the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus have been preparing for the match, and Tuttomercatoweb reveals that the team trained without Federico Gatti and Jeff Ekhator during their latest session, with both players instead working individually on personalised programmes.
Gatti was injured by a fan during the pre-season game against Juventus' Next Gen when a pitch invasion disrupted the match. The incident left the defender dealing with an injury, and he is now working to regain his fitness.

Trepy had started upfront in the Coppa Italia victory over Arezzo a week ago, but during his weekend off, got into trouble in the deep end of the pool at a villa.
He was placed in an induced coma to help get the water out of his lungs, but is now making a rapid recovery, and has been moved out of the ICU at the Santissima Annunziata Hospital in Sassari.

Atlético de Madrid and Aston Villa have officially confirmed the signing of Matteo Ruggeri.
The left-back leaves the red-and-white side just one season after arriving in the Spanish capital.
The Italian leaves around €20 million at Atleti, a fee close to what they paid to sign him from Atalanta.
Grimaldo's arrival had reduced the 'azzurro's' chances, and the club had been looking for an exit for him.
He will now embark on a new adventure in the Premier League under Unai Emery. Zion Suzuki, the goalkeeper arriving from Parma, will follow the same path.
