Juventus’ impressive start to the 2024-25 Serie A season under new manager Thiago Motta has set a remarkable defensive record. The Bianconeri’s recent victory against Genoa extended their clean sheet streak to 540 minutes, surpassing the previous club record set by Massimiliano Allegri’s team a decade ago.
Tuttosport (via IlBianconero) report how In the 2014-15 season, Allegri’s first year at the helm, Juventus maintained their defensive solidity for 482 minutes before conceding their first goal. That came in the form of a Francesco Totti penalty in a 3-2 home win against Roma on matchday six.
Motta’s achievement is even more significant in the context of Serie A history. Juventus have become the first team to keep clean sheets in their opening six matches of a Serie A season since the introduction of the three-points-for-a-win system in 1994-95.
This defensive prowess puts Juventus in elite company. Only a handful of teams have achieved longer streaks of defensive invincibility at the start of a Serie A campaign:
1. Cagliari: 712 minutes (1966-67 season)
2. AC Milan: 690 minutes (1993-94 season)
3. Napoli: 590 minutes (1970-71 season)
4. Inter Milan: 563 minutes (1972-73 season)
Motta’s tactical acumen and the team’s disciplined defensive approach have been key factors in this impressive run. The clean sheet streak not only highlights Juventus’ defensive strength but also provides a solid foundation for their title aspirations this season.
