The reigning Seria A champions and a record seven times straight winners will be looking to further their record this season as they start their preparations for the new season, starting off their International Champions Cup against Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich on the 25th of July in the Lincoln financial field, Philadelphia.

The Maximiliano Allegri led side had a wonderful domestic season that saw Juventus winning their seventh straight Seria A championship as well as their fourth straight Coppa Italia trophy making it a record 4 straight double winning side while losing out to Napoli in the Supercoppa Italiana the only domestic trophy that eluded them.

While Juventus may have had a great domestic season, It was the same old story for the Old Lady of Turin in the biggest football club tournament in the World, the Champions League, as they once again failed to win the elusive Champions League title they so dream about after losing to Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
