#2 Recent history does not favor them
It should already be fairly common knowledge by now that Juventus last won the Champions League in 1997.
In that time, they have come painfully close on multiple occasions, but failed to land their hands on the elusive prize.
Real Madrid have been the final hurdle on two occasions - in 1998 and 19 years later in 2017, while AC Milan and Barcelona have foiled their party plans on one occasion each in 2003 and 2015 respectively.
There have also been other knockout appearances, but for all of their best efforts, Juventus have not quite been able to cross the finish line.
This is a bad trend that the club would be determined to end, but as we have seen over time, history has a way of repeating itself and in Juventus's case, it could play a role in denying them the Champions League once again.
