Juventus are the most successful club football team in Italy. The only team to win the full set of UEFA club competitions - Champions League/Europa League/Super Cup/Cup Winner's Cup (now defunct), the Old Lady also has one of the most dominating records in the history of Italian football.

A record 8th consecutive Serie A win in 2018-19, which marked a record-extending 35th triumph overall meant that Juventus went past Olympique Lyon's record (7) of most consecutive league triumphs by any team from a Top 5 league (England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France).

Juventus' contribution of 710 goals (7%) of all goals scored in the most productive decade of Serie A football in terms of goals scored is the most by any team during this period.

On that note, let us have a look at the top-5 records created by the Bianconeri in club football during the decade that was 2010 to 2019.

In their fifth season following their only Serie B season in 2006-07 which was a fallout of the infamous Calciopoli scandal which rocked Italian football in the summer of 2006, Juventus lifted their record-extending 28th Scudetto in 2011-12.

Finishing four points clear of defending champions AC Milan, the Bianconeri were unbeaten all season, winning 23 and drawing 15 of their 38 games.

It marked only the third time in Serie A history that a team stayed unbeaten in an entire season. AC Milan stayed unbeaten while winning the 18-team Serie A in 1991-92 while Perugia were the first to achieve the same in Italian football by not losing in the entirety of the 1977-78 Serie A season.

However, it was the first such occurrence since Serie A returned to being a 20 team competition for the first time in over six decades in 2004-05.

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.

# 4: The first team to win 3 consecutive Coppa Italia titles

9-time Coppa Italia champions Juventus broke clear of a tie with AS Roma by winning their 10th title in the competition in 2016. The Bianconeri returned to the competition the next season and successfully defended their title.

In the 2018 final, following a 4-0 win over AC Milan, Juventus became the first team in the competition history to win three titles on the trot. The Bianconeri would stretch their record of most consecutive Coppa Italia titles to 4 by winning their 13th title in 2018.

# 5: The first team to win 6 consecutive Scudetti

Continuing their dominance in the Italian top-flight, the Bianconeri staved off a stern challenge from AS Roma to seal their 33rd Scudetto, their 6th consecutive triumph, in 2016-17.

This made Juventus the first team to win six consecutive titles in the competition. Juventus themselves (1930-31 to 1934-35), and Internazionale (2005-06 to 2009-10) each won a record 5 consecutive titles.

However, it should be noted that Internazionale finished behind Juventus in 2005-06 but the league title that season was awarded to the Nerrazzuri following the scrapping of Juventus' 2005-06 title and their subsequent demotion to Serie B due to the latter's involvement in the famous Calciopoli scandal.
