It’s just Champions League fever with Juventus fans going wild finding creative ways to root for the team.   Here is the case of Luca Parisotto from the Province of Vicenza, a fan following me in Twitter .     For Luca, the dream to see Juventus lifting the Champions League trophy  is more than a dream and decided to show off his love for Juventus by having shaved  the word “Berlino’ into the back of his head, creative haircut design.    Juventus will play the Champions League Final against Barcelona on Saturday 6 June 2015 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany.

Luca, just as all Juventus fans, are fully supporting the Bianconeri.  Talking about the admiration for the Vecchia Signora, Luca saying, “My passion for Juventus was born as a child and when I see the shirt worn by the players I get excited.  It’s an all Juventus passion.”  

The last time Juventus played a Champions League Final was in 2003 against AC Milan.  The winner was AC Milan.  Now, it’s the historical chance for Juventus to win the Treble since already won the 2015 Scudetto and Coppa Italia.    Juventus eliminated Real Madrid in the semifinal to reach  the  Champions League.  The objective now is to win it and bring it to Italy.

Matri: “The most important goal of my career”

Wednesday night’s matchwinner reflects on the strike that secured Juventus an Italian record 10 Coppa Italia trophies

 

Wednesday night’s matchwinner Alessandro Matri says his extra-time strike against Napoli – the goal that clinched Juventus their 10th Coppa Italia success – is the most significant of his career to date.

The forward, who returned to the club on loan in the January transfer window, came off the bench to settle an evenly-poised encounter with the Biancocelesti, cementing his name into the club’s history with a poacher’s effort from inside the box.

After allowing time for all the post-match adrenaline to wear off, Matri was back in Vinovo today and spoke exclusively to Jtv about his midweek joy.

He said: “It was the most important goal of my career. It’s the goal that won us our tenth Coppa Italia and one that will go down in history. It’s a feat I’m really proud of.”

With Wednesday’s trophy conquest joining the Scudetto for tomorrow’s victory parade at Juventus Stadium, the celebrations will continue in the stands when Napoli come to town.

And whilst there may be little riding on the game in terms of league standings, Matri says the Bianconeri are determined to honour a traditionally important fixture against one of their main Serie A rivals.

“There’ll be a carnival atmosphere tomorrow, but we mustn’t underestimate the match. We always want to put on a good show and we can’t allow ourselves to slip up. Games against Napoli are always important occasions.”

An inevitable look ahead to the Bianconeri’s Champions League opponents then followed, with Matri saying spirits are high in the camp as they knuckle down to tackle their biggest challenge yet.

“We’ve reached a final that perhaps nobody expected us to. We’re now just one game away from the end goal – we’re confident, preparing well and want to display our strength and try to cause problems for our tough opponents.”

Three key Partenopei men to watch out for

Juventus.com singles out Marek Hamsik, Jose Callejon and Gonzalo Higuain as the players to keep an eye on during Saturday’s encounter

 

Napoli approach Saturday evening’s penultimate game of the Serie A season in fourth, looking to keep up their quest for a spot in next year’s Champions League.

But the Partenopei, who must claim maximum points from their two remaining matches to stand a chance of catching third-placed Lazio, have a daunting task in front of them as they prepare to face the newly-crowned Serie A champions.

Of their 68 previous trips to Turin, this weekend’s opponents have only ruled victorious on seven occasions, with the last of these, a 3-2 triumph, coming back in October 2009.

Juventus Stadium has also never been a happy hunting ground for Rafael Benitez’s Partenopei, who have neither scored a goal nor registered a point on the hallowed turf in their three visits since its inception.

However, with the league already sewn up for the Bianconeri, Napoli will try and catch Massimiliano Allegri’s troops cold on the day they are to receive the Scudetto title.

Juventus.com thus takes a look at midfield machine Marek Hamsik, speedy customer Jose Callejon and Argentine assassin Gonzalo Higuain.

Name: Marek Hamsik
Age: 27
Position: Attacking midfielder

Club captain Hamsik is the team’s most dangerous playmaker and continues to be prolific in front of goal since joining the club from Brescia back in 2007.

The Slovakia international – who began his career with Slovan Bratislava before moving to Italy at the tender age of 17 – has made 353 appearances for the Partenopei, scoring on 90 occasions.

Hamsik has recorded 10 assists this term, reaching double figures in Serie A for the second time in his career. His league-best came during the 2012/13 campaign when he racked up a grand total of 14.

The 27-year-old will be looking to end a six-game scoreless run against the Bianconeri on Saturday evening, having previously bagged five goals in nine games when facing them.

Name: Jose Callejon
Age: 28
Position: Forward/Winger

Mazy winger Callejon has been a revelation since signing from Real Madrid at the start of last season.

Currently the Partenopei’s second highest domestic scorer with 11 strikes this year, the 28-year-old can play in a variety of positions behind the main striker and regularly lays assists on to his team-mates.

Callejon also made his debut for the Spanish national side back in November, coming on as a substitute in La Roja’s 3-0 Euro 2016 qualifying Group C triumph over Belarus.

One for trivia fanatics, Napoli have never lost any of the 25 matches in which the fleet-footed forward has scored his 26 Serie A goals, with their record standing at 21 victories and four draws.

Name: Gonzalo Higuain
Age: 27
Position: Striker

Proven goalscorer Higuain – who netted 107 times in 190 games for Real Madrid before leaving for Napoli at the culmination of the 2012/13 campaign – is a real menace for opposition defenders.

Part of the Argentina team beaten by Germany in last year’s World Cup final, the 27-year-old was actually born in France and has been described by Partenopei fan favourite Diego Maradona as the perfect frontman.

He has already inflicted damage on the Bianconeri this season after his two goals in December’s Super Cup final salvaged his team from the jaws of defeat, before they went on to triumph 6-5 on penalties.

Despite his 16 Serie A strikes making him Napoli’s top scorer this term, Higuain has not netted on the road since January’s 1-0 triumph over Lazio.

South stand to remain open for visit of Napoli

Juventus Stadium’s south stand will remain as normal for all supporters for Saturday’s fixture with Napoli

 

Juventus Stadium’s south stand will remain open as normal to all supporters for this Saturday’s Serie A clash with Napoli.

After the derby meeting with Torino on 26 April, the sporting body had ordered the stand to be closed for two games.

The original decision was then suspended pending an additional investigation for the match against Cagliari and now, following this afternoon’s FIGC statement, the suspension will again apply for tomorrow’s visit of the Partenopei.

Season ticket holders in the south stand who are unable to attend the upcoming clash can put their seats back up for sale through the ‘My Season Ticket’ section of Juventus.com and change the name on their tickets up until midnight tonight.
