Following another disappointing and largely inconsistent campaign, the Old Lady will be a notable absentee from both the Champions and Europa League draws later this summer. A seventh-place finish not only ends thoughts of Europe, but also draws Gigi Del Neri’s tenure at the club to a close. A year on from their first attempt at an ambitious rebuilding of the club, what now for the Bianconeri?

Around this time of year in seasons gone-by, the Bianconeri have subjected us to nail-biting, edge of your seat moments in a race for the Scudetto finish line. However, despite this not being the case now for a few campaigns, while Milan were busy wrapping up their 18th title in Rome, Juve practically pulled out a shotgun, aimed a direct shot into their right (or left, doesn’t really matter) foot, and ruled themselves out of the race for a spot in next season’s Champions League. All moans and groans aside, does the Old Lady even deserve a seat amongst the best in Europe next year?

In what has been a season of inconsistency, negativity and unwanted speculation putting coach Gigi Del Neri under constant pressure, the Bianconeri are now just four points adrift of a place in next season’s Champions League. With the fixture list destined to provide dramatic scenes across the peninsula, can Juve achieve what was once viewed as impossible?
