What is acceptable at season's end?

[Skippy5 140]

With our win on the weekend (and still unbeaten in Serie A) and two crucial games in the Champions League (starting with today's match against Brugge) to get into the knock-out stages and Coppa Italia still available, where should Juventus finish the season?

 

I'll put it here (and let's win everything is the first objective) that considering where we are now, and if the team can continue to develop and improve, I would be satisfied with 3rd in Serie A (I think Atalanta is catchable -6 points, but not Napoli or Inter) preferably still unbeaten, quarter-final of the Champions League with a good strong run of results (or some sketchy performances but through to the semi-final) and winning the Coppa Italia.

 

As for the Club World Cup either win it or crash out early to concentrate on next season's Serie A.

 

What do you hope to celebrate at the end of the season?

[ZizouZidane 17.581]

I think fourth place is the minimum result. I hope to go as far as possible in the Champions League. And winning the Italian Cup wouldn't be bad.

[garrison 49.233]

It's acceptable reach a position useful for the Champion's League. Everithing else, more then this, is a plus.

[Zebra69 2.652]

we win against Napoli and Inter... we can still say something for the scudetto.... all is not lost.

[GYBE666 226]

3rd place could be doable, I agree. I hope Atalanta performances start getting mid... we must start winning though. 
For the Champions League, let's see, we play well and matches are tactically different we might be this year surprise, by this I don't mean we could win...we could probably get to a good stage quarter/semifinal. Not great for mental and physical energy expenditure but great morale boost. 
I hate this CWC thing because it will def affect pre-season, squad dynamics, etc. However, it's a new competition, and somehow, it has something exotic, lol. So let's see. It could be a cool summer tournament.

i mean...let's be realistic, Napoli has 1 match per week till the end of the season, Inter squad is built to play two competitions comfortably. 
We have no chance...unless they start losing points. Like a lot.

Stagione di riprogrammazione in mezzo a mille difficoltà, molte di esse imprevedibili, più un paio di errori. Tutte cose che ci stanno per carità. Non si può stare fuori dalla CL. Il resto è tutto optional.

[curvafiladelfia 4.119]

If we won't qualify for the next UCL is a tragedy. But as a team we're far better than Lazio and Viola so I don't think it'll be too hard to reach the 4th place.

Winning Coppa Italia would make the season's end more acceptable.

Dunno man, to be still alive is fair enough?

Serious?

[Gurdjieff 883]

would be enough for me not to finish 20 points behind the first as in the recent years

[Mark92 3.823]

fourth place

[jurgen kohler 39.660]

Mi aspetto almeno il quarto posto e di andare più avanti possibile in champions e mondiale per club. Perché la Juventus deve sempre puntare a vincere anche nelle annate meno felici. Quindi deve cercare di giocare alla pari anche se incontra il Liverpool, il Bayern o il Barcellona. Tutto sommato per questa rosa così giovane, forse è più facile l'exploit nelle competizioni ad eliminazione diretta che nel campionato dove è la continuità che premia.

[Aspettando la terza... 1.976]

Un trofeo. E motta out 

[onetime 2.562]

We must necessarily arrive at least fourth, qualification for the Champion's League is unfortunately economically fundamental.
Moving on to the cups, if the journey in the CL and Club World Cup goes as long as possible it will obviously be a joy for us, but clearly there are teams more structured than us so we must not delude ourselves.
I hope to win the Coppa Italia again.

[re david 12.891]

Qualificazione champions, e cammino decente in coppa. Per il resto coppa Italia e mondiale per club sono un surplus

[zebra67 13.022]

One thing is fundamental, vital: qualification for the 2025/26 CL, therefore finishing in the top 4 in the current serie A.
Even trying to win the Italian Cup could be an achievable goal, given that we have recovered a good part of the injured players and new players will arrive from the winter transfer market.
We are also in a good position to try to reach the round of 16 in the current Champions League.

From next year we will try to achieve more ambitious goals.

[euroventus 930]

Top 4 (or 5, depending on CL places) everything else is out of our reach. I had fancied being the outsider contender after Inter and Napoli for the league but that idea vanished with Bremer's knee injury and the shambolic athletic management of the team.

Next year though the same can't be enough for Motta. There must be real progress and consistency in the way the team plays and is assembled.

4 posto in campionato

Superamento primo turno Champions

Semifinale coppa Italia

 

Questo il minimo

[gnatmm 800]

I am still convinced that third place in Serie A is an achievable goal, fourth absolutely minimum, another cash injection will still be necessary, but will also be covered by the sale of the few crown jewels left, namely Yildiz at first, if we will not get qualified. Must be our worst nightmare. Avoid fifth or sixth place at all cost.

 

The Champions league is a Lottery, even more this year with the new format. being an optimist, I expect us to reach quarter finals. Beyond that too many factors will affect the outcome. Injuries first, and how we want to get seriously the upcomin 'world league' or whatever it's named, in the summer.

 

All l in all I see improvements now, not expecting any throphy apart from Coppa Italia maybe, but not a miserable season ahead.

The only acceptable thing when your name is Juventus should be winning trophies.
