THE CHANGE - A new stadium also coincided with a sharp change in the team's performances on the pitch. After back to back seventh place finishes, from the start of the 2011/12 Juve managed to rise again and win six consecutive Scudetti, threen under the leadership of Antonio Conte, and three with Massimiliano Allegri. Also worthy of credit is the great push of the fans, who from the first season have recorded sell out after sell out, creating a fear that opponents feel when they enter Juve’s stadium.

 

NUMBERS - This fear that is witnessed in the numbers that have accompanied the Bianconeri in their six years playing in their new arena.
