Overview

Following Platini's departure, 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]
