FOOTBALL MEMORIES

Juventus had a team that almost reads like a collection of Panini stickers from Serie A's golden age: Gianluigi Buffon, Lilian Thuram, Edgar Davids, Pavel Nedvěd, David Trezeguet, and Alessandro Del Piero. They won Serie A by seven points over Inter, thus defending their championship from the previous year.

In Europe, the season's great drama unfolded. Juventus lost 1-2 to Real Madrid at the Bernabéu but turned the semi-final around with a 3-1 victory in Turin. Trezeguet, Del Piero, and Nedvěd scored – after which Nedvěd received a yellow card that cost him the final. One of the more brutal images in Champions League history: the Czech knew almost instantly what the card meant.

The white Lotto jersey also tells of a short Juventus era. Fastweb was on the chest in Serie A, while other sponsor variations were used in cup and European matches. This version also features the Scudetto shield because Juventus entered the season as Italian champions.

It was Lotto's last season as Juventus' supplier. Nike took over from 2003-04. Therefore, this football shirt stands very precisely between two Juventus periods: Lippi's Italian champions, the lost Champions League final, and the end of the Lotto years.
