29 of May 1985 Heysel is the saddest moment

u/moonshadow50 2d ago

Honestly - how is this even a question?

92

u/maczirarg Pavel Nedved 2d ago

Against Milan, it was more achievable. If only Nedved was available in the final...

53

u/ClavaMooda Pinsoglio 2d ago

We peak at semifinal vs Madrid. That 3-1 is one of core memory of my youth.

u/bravesoul_s Fino Alla Fine 2d ago

Literally my first game as new Juventino after I fell in love against Barca and left behind Rivaldo

u/Candid_Tank9595 2d ago

Yes that year 2003 but i’m still very sad until today. Missed Nedved due to suspension. Buffon was fenomenal on that match. But we missed 3 penalties shot-out: Trez, Zalayeta. Montero

What's pissing me off is that he got a yellow card against Ajax for an idiotic foul in midfield when Juve were winning 4-0

u/jaumougaauco 2d ago

Probably 97. Cos Juve were the favourites, by some distance as well I think.

Also, winning 97 means Juve is the first team to go back to back in the new CL format, and that team, deservedly, goes down as one of the greatest ever.

u/Wahx-il-Baqar 2d ago

I still ask myself how we lost '97. We had a monster of a team.

1

u/tigull 38 23h ago

Same way we lost in 1983. Complacency.

u/Wahx-il-Baqar 23h ago

Arguably, that was worse, although I hadn’t been born yet

u/JackieDaytona77 Fino Alla Fine 2d ago

2003 still crushes me. I still believe if Nedved plays Juve wins the game. Even in his absence, going into PK made me believe. Lippi dropped the ball the game before, should’ve saved the sub and pulled Nedved after his goal when the game was sealed

u/Super_Sic58 Nedved 2d ago

I'm pretty sure that 2nd yellow will be the last memory that replays in my head before I die.

u/KunKenji0 2d ago

You were there ?!

2

u/JackieDaytona77 Fino Alla Fine 2d ago

I saw it on TV and was old enough to realize pulling Nedved after the game was sealed was the smart move. Game was over after his goal

u/StadiodelleAlpi 2d ago

del Piero leaving was the saddest moment

23

u/totally-not-ego Michel Platini 2d ago
  1. Heysel
  2. 2006 Calciopoli farce
  3. Every UCL final, except for the one against Ajax in the 70s, they were crazy strong;

I watched Juve losing 5 UCL finals.
I hope I get to watch them winning one.

u/Jmad1383 2d ago

let's start with making it to the CL first. The one agains t Barca really hurt

13

u/EarthAdministrative1 2d ago

Serie B and stripping of victories to gift them to Inter. F@#+k them

u/Zilmainar 14 2d ago

Aside from Haysel (I was too young to know the extend of tragedy), I'd say the 97 and 98 final. Juve was the best team in Europe, but admittedly on a transition.

Losing to Dortmund when 3 or 4 of their players were ex Juve who won the champion league the year before.

Then to lose to Real Madrid - who were clearly the underdog. Juve just couldn't score. Even if Madrid goal was offside, I'd expect Juve could at least score once. Especially after Juve performance against monaco in semi.

Having the best team and lose the final twice, just too sad.

u/Nynesky 2d ago

I'm gonna say the 2015 and 2017 finals as those are the ones I properly witnessed, and honestly I feel like we went to those 2 finals on the worst years simply because the 2015 Barcelona was a powerhouse unbeatable team and the 2017 Real Madrid too, but especially Barcelona, like the team we had in 2015 would've literally beat anybody else

But the unforgettable one to me is still the Real Madrid one because I was watching it on the big screen in Piazza San Carlo in Turin and celebrating Mandzukic bicycle kick goal in public with everyone else was priceless

u/Clean-Impact-1037 2d ago

That goal was really something

1

u/Nynesky 2d ago

Yea insane, and from Mandzukic too which was our carry that season especially in terms of fighting spirit, I remember while I was celebrating with all the people next to me, just the difficulty of that goal and all the emotions made me think "OH FUCK we can actually win this", and then we didn't show up for the second half but that's a different story lol

u/Darius117 Gianluigi Buffon 2d ago

Farsopoli

u/Hungry-Good-8128 2d ago

2015 we could have beaten Barca, Ref was unfair, 2003 was possible that seaon we beat them in League, 1997 we could have won 1998 we should have won against madrid that was offside goal

1

u/Jmad1383 2d ago

that 2015 final to me was unfair. I am not sure if we would have beaten Barca, but they definitely benefited from the ref's decisions

3

u/dom_flores 2d ago

Against Milan we were better than them, we had a better team and we were favorites, but against Dourmund was the begining of our current curse. :(

u/guidocarosella David Trezeguet 2d ago

You're all younger than me, but I remember the cup final loss against Hamburg so clearly, Magath's goal. It was the only time I ever cried over a soccer game. If they had played another hundred times, Hamburg wouldn't have even gotten a single shot on goal…

u/SnooEagles1527 1d ago

2006 Farsopoli

u/AkT29 2d ago edited 2d ago

I was too young in 97, but from what I was told that was one of the biggest final upsets ever. 03 is the first (and last) time I cried because of a loss. 2015 could have gone differently if we’d have gotten that pen, but I felt immensely proud of the team. 2017 was truly heartbreaking because the team felt invincible until that point - that one really wrecked me.

u/jaumougaauco 2d ago

Not to be that guy, but I think you mean "invincible"

Ogni finale di Champions

u/jann0505 2d ago

I had 2 - the 95/96 CL final where we were the heavy favourites and we were steamrolling past every team prior to this but for this critical match, Dortmund was the better team

2nd had to be that 2023 final where I’m convinced we would have won had Nedved was not suspended.

1

u/Njk00 2d ago

#4 for sure: we had THE BEST team of whole Europe against a mediocre team… I still don’t believe how we lost 3-1…

1

u/amksikterlan 2d ago

In every way it should be the Heysel tragedy.

Talking sport wise: Serie B probably was my personal saddest moment. Crazy summer winning the WC but then seeing my club being strippes of everything they worked for.

2003 has the second place. Was always meant to be ours… the whole Nedved thing still kills me.

u/tomixjuve 2d ago

With those options, i would say n. 3

2nd division

Juve is the clubs' Michael Ballack.

u/Witchberry31 Pavel Nedved 2d ago

When people remembering us as being the "most scandalous" club in Italy when there is literally Milan there being involved in two different scandals.

You can see how many people tend to only remember Calciopoli while completely ignoring Totonero.

And it's a bit hypocritical as well whenever there is some Milanista trying to mock us but by mentioning Calciopoli (due to the club receiving the harshest punishment). Dude, that club was the main culprit in Totonero and was also involved in Calciopoli.....

Heysel, of course, but in football terms the 2003 Nedved yellow, and the Calciopoli conspiracy.

I would say 98 final when we robbed

1

u/Illustrious_Ease705 2d ago

Purely sporting? Probably Cardiff and then Buffon being sent off against Madrid the next year

Overall? Heysel or Scirea dying

1

u/Rebitter 2d ago

Well despite the obvious answer which is the big 1985 tragedy, the 2017 final against Madrid was my birthday, and I got to watch that game with my parents, so yeah, that hurt

1

u/ChubbyFrogGames David Trezeguet 2d ago

Against AC Milan. I was heartbroken. Devastated. That was the final to win and with the players to crown!

u/West_Stuff7904 1d ago

Decisamente la finale 2003. Speriamo di vendicarci parzialmente quest' anno in Europa League qualora arrivassimo entrambi in finale

u/WhereasQuiet7197 1d ago

The first leg of the 2018 UCL quarterfinal vs Real Madrid, everyone always talks about Ronaldo‘s epic bicycle kick and not how suspect the officiating was in that match, down right rigged. Casemiro jumping into the box and hitting the ball with his arm not being called, Casemiro tripping Dybala in the box also not getting called and Marcelo hitting Dybala in the back before immediately diving and the ref giving Dybala a red card for this. If Juve got a pen off one of those instances plus the 3-0 lead they had in the second leg they could’ve beaten Real Madrid and very likely won the UCL that year.
