Top-5 Juventus Records From The Decade

#2: The first team to lose 4 finals in the Champions League era

Juventus eliminated defending champions Real Madrid in the 2015-16 Champions League semi-finals to reach their first final in the competition in 12 years, having fallen in each of their last four finals in 1996-97, 1997-98, and 2002-03. However, in the final against Barcelona, the Bianconeri fell once again to a 1-3 defeat, as their wait for a first Champions League title since their 1995-96 triumph spilled over to a third decade.

In the process, the Bianconeri became the first team in the history of the European Cup / Champions League to endure 6 final defeats, breaking a tie with the duo of Benfica and Bayern Munich who have 5 apiece. It also made Juventus the first team in the Champions League Era to lose 4 finals.

# 3: Longest winning streak at home in the Serie A

Juventus beat Bologna 7-1 on the seventh Matchday of the 2015-16 season which kickstarted a record run of 33 consecutive league wins at home, ending on the 35th Matchday of the 2016-17 edition of the competition.

It created a new record for most consecutive home wins in Serie A history as Juventus romped to the title in both seasons, winning 34, drawing 3, and losing just 1 of their 38 home games during this period.
