Juventus have continued to struggle for consistent results, raising questions about why a club of their stature has found it so difficult to return to its former standards. The men in black and white have endured a challenging period, with their performances often falling short of expectations despite their efforts to improve.
The Bianconeri have spent the last few seasons trying to reclaim the success they enjoyed in the past, but their attempts to return to winning trophies have proved far from straightforward. Each campaign has brought fresh challenges, leaving the club searching for the right formula to compete consistently at the highest level.
Every summer, Juventus have reshaped their squad in the hope of assembling a team capable of challenging for major honours. However, despite those changes, they have yet to achieve the consistency required to turn their ambitions into success. Their struggles have continued to raise concerns about whether the current group can deliver the improvement supporters expect.
Juventus continue to search for consistency
Although Juventus have shown positive signs in Europe, their performance against Rennes highlighted the difficulties they have also experienced in domestic competition. The team struggled to produce the level of football required, and the result offered little reassurance that they are close to overcoming their current problems.
With matches arriving in quick succession, Juventus have limited time to address their shortcomings. They must continue competing while trying to secure victories, making it increasingly important for the players to find confidence and consistency. However, their recent displays suggest that there are deeper issues affecting their ability to perform at their best.
The club will be expected to respond in upcoming fixtures, but the pressure to improve could make their situation more complicated if they continue dropping points.

Oreggia identifies anxiety as a problem
Journalist Vittorio Oreggia believes anxiety is affecting Juventus during matches and contributing to their disappointing results. The players appear to be struggling under pressure, which could be preventing them from expressing their abilities and making the right decisions on the pitch.
After watching the Rennes match, Oreggia delivered a blunt assessment of the team’s performance, as quoted by Tuttojuve:
“The only thing worth saving is the result in this Juventus, a victim of its own anxieties and limitations. They say: when the wind blows, smoke a joint.”
