Season summary

Following to Platini's leave, Juventus tried to find a substitute in Welsh striker Ian Rush.[2] Despite being seasonal top scorer, he disappointed fans' hope about him.[3] Bianconeri passed only a challenge in UEFA Cup,[4] finishing their path in round of 32.[5][6] Condemned by a slow trend in league[7] Juventus bet his cards on domestic cup,[8] but was defeated by Torino in semifinals. His revenge came anyway after Serie A end, beating granata (on shootout) in a playoff that awarded last UEFA Cup spot.[9]
