Right here we’re within the final two months of the 2025-26 season.
The title race utterly handed us by months in the past, and sadly that has grow to be customary process in the previous few years. After the great run of leads to January had us considering of a snug spot within the high 4 in Serie A, the crushing actuality of February and, to some extent March, made us understand that at this time’s Juventus group is barely/merely adequate to hold across the outskirts of the fourth, fifth and sixth positions.

Final month had a bit little bit of (nearly) all the things — dramatic comebacks, last-minute targets, crushing victories, penalty misses, and corto muso performances.
Let’s get began.
Falling into the Europa League?
We began the month with a blockbuster 3-3 draw away at Roma. After a good first half, the hosts took the lead simply earlier than the break when Brazilian wingback Wesley minimize inside from the sting of the field and curled a stunning right-footed shot into the highest nook and simply previous Mattia Perin’s fingertips. We equalized instantly after the break when Conceição scored with an unimaginable half volley that just about ripped the online in half.

A ten-minute spell then turned the sport firmly into Roma’s favor. Evan Ndicka barged his well beyond Andrea Cambiaso and volleyed dwelling from Lorenzo Pellegrini’s nook kick. Then, the reborn Donyell Malen obtained an unimaginable move from Manu Kone, beat the offside entice, and chipped the ball over Perin who was too sluggish to come back off his line. (And I assumed sweeper-keepers have been overrated …) Jeremie Boga introduced us again into the sport when he scored with an incredible volley after Edon Zhegrova’s deflected cross fell to him. His aim was the start of an amazing run of video games he had in March.
The sport had a dramatic conclusion within the 93rd minute due to our beloved bricklayer Federico Gatti. As soon as once more, Zhegrova was the catalyst as his cross from the free kick created havoc within the field. Gatti pounced (ha!) on the free ball and smashed within the half volley to disclaim Roma the victory in a superb sport of soccer.
We returned to profitable methods with a giant 4-0 dwelling win in opposition to Pisa. Remarkably, all targets got here within the second half and, curiously, after Spalletti switched to a 3-4-3 with Boga/Yildiz as a false 9. Cambiaso scored the primary aim when he headed in from an amazing chipped cross from Yildiz. The second got here rapidly afterwards: Manuel Locatelli’s pinpoint shot hit the put up and the rebound fell to Khephren Thuram who tapped the ball into an open aim.

The targets stored coming. Yildiz collected a move from Conceição, slipped previous the defender, and blasted the ball into aim. Boga put the cherry on high with a aim in stoppage time after he obtained an ideal by means of ball from Locatelli, rounded the goalkeeper, and scored within the empty web: 4-0!
Boga continued his nice month by scoring the sport’s solely aim in a good 1-0 victory over Udinese. Kelly performed a improbable lengthy ball to Yildiz, who charged into the field and crossed low to Boga. The Ivorian held his run excellently and, because of this, was within the excellent place for the straightforward tap-in. The Bianconeri managed the remainder of the sport and doubtless ought to have scored extra to place the sport to mattress, however in equity Udinese posed such little offensive risk that the victory was by no means unsure.
The ultimate sport of the month in opposition to Sassuolo was the one which, in my eyes, ended our probabilities of qualifying for subsequent season’s Champions League. Remarkably, goalkeeper Perin created the primary aim when his wonderful lengthy outlet move launched Conceição on the counterattack. He dribbled his method into the field and squared the ball for Yildiz, who scored with a low, correct shot.
As has occurred time and time once more this season, Juventus conceded from its first (and solely!) shot on course. Sassuolo performed a pleasant little bit of one-touch passing on the sting of the field and the ball got here to Berardi on the suitable wing. The winger squared the ball for Andrea Pinamonti who, after bullying Gleison Bremer of the ball within the buildup to the aim, ghosted previous the Brazilian defender to poke the ball into aim from Berardi’s low cross. The Bianconeri gained a really tender penalty after Jonathan David’s cross hit a defender’s arm, however goalkeeper Arijanet Muric caught Locatelli’s extremely weak penalty kick. It ended 1-1 and we fell additional behind within the race for High 4.

Juventus Ladies
Juventus Ladies opened the month with a stable 2-0 victory over Fiorentina within the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal. Chiara Beccari scored within the ninth minute due to a pleasant help from Ana Capeta. The Portuguese ahead then capped a match-winning efficiency with a aim within the 51st minute after latching onto Viola Calligaris’s nice by means of ball and scoring with a shot on the close to put up.
It wasn’t an amazing month of leads to the league, although.
AC Milan beat the Bianconere 1-0 due to Thea Kyvag’s aim early within the second half, however the deciding second got here only a few minutes earlier in stoppage time of the primary half. Kay-Lee de Sanders fouled Capeta within the field however goalkeeper Sandra Estevez saved Emma Stolen Godo’s penalty, leading to a disappointing 1-0 loss. We adopted that loss with a irritating goalless draw in opposition to bottom-of-the-table Genoa.
Fortunately, Juve ended the month on a excessive be aware with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina within the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal. Capeta ended a improbable month with two targets on this sport. The primary was an exquisite curled shot from the sting of the field that went in off the put up and the second a header from a nook kick. Iris Omarsdottir scored from a rebound after a nook kick resulted in Katla Tryggvadottir hitting the put up. Juventus cruised to a 2-1 victory (4-1 on mixture) over Fiorentina and can meet Roma (who else?) within the last!
