2024/25 Points Deduction Trophy

The aftermath of Calciopoli – as the scandal was referred to in Italy – also saw the Old Lady stripped of their 2004/05 and 2005/06 league titles, leaving the disgraced institution of Italian football in complete and utter disarray.

At the time, Juventus possessed one of the best squads in Europe with the likes of Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, Patrick Vieira, Pavel Nedved and Zlatan Ibrahimovic lining up on the field, while Fabio Capello directed them from the dugout.

However, following their relegation, other elite clubs on the continent began circling like vultures around some of Juve’s prized assets, many of whom had won the World Cup with Italy less than a week before relegation was officially confirmed.

Not all of Juventus’ stellar names departed the sinking ship, though, with Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Nedved, Mauro Camoranesi, Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet commendably opting to stay with their troubled employers and steer them back to the top-flight.

Somewhat inevitably, though, Juventus had to brace themselves for a number of high-profile departures, as clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and most gallingly, domestic rivals Inter Milan, cherry-picked some of their finest talents that summer.
