#FORZAJUVE

      La Vecchia Signora, or also known as 'The Old Lady' is my favourite football club, Juventus. From the city of Turin, Italy. With their famous black and white colours (although the classic is magenta), Juve is the most successful Italian team in the history of football. 

     If you're a football history maniac you'll love this! There are legendary players that used to play for Juventus such as, Zinedine Zidane, Edgar Davids, Roberto Baggio, Didier Deschamps, Dino Zoff, David Trezeguet, Pavel Nedved, Michel Platini, Alessandro Del Piero and many more.

      With an astonishing number of fans over 180 million since 2003, Juventus F.C. has 28 Scudettos or Italian league (champioship), 9 Italian Cups, 4 Italian Super Cups, 2 Champions League, and 3 UEFA Cups. Now coached by also one of their ex-legend Antonio Conte. 

     Juventus has a lot of rivals. One is their traditional rivals which is also from Turin, Torino F.C. the matches between them are called the Derby Della Mole (The Derby of Turin). And second is with Internazionale or Inter Milan, their meet is called the Derby D'Italia (The Derby of Italy). They also have rivalries with A.S. Roma, A.C. Milan and Fiorentina.

    And this is their current squad:
