When Marcello Lippi joined Juventus and knocked Milan off their perch


Their high point is usually considered to be the stuffy Wednesday night in Rome in May 1996 when they beat Ajax on penalties to win the Champions League. However, the best – and certainly the most under-appreciated Juventus side of that era – was the double-winning team of 1994-95. Juventus produced their slickest football in Marcello Lippi’s first season at the club. If Juve won, the title would be theirs for the first time in nine years. Even Trapattoni, at that point a man unaccustomed to failure, could not make Juve champions, finishing runner-up twice in three seasons before Lippi took over.
