Juventus Football Club Società per azioni, colloquially known as Juve, and nicknamed La Vecchia Signora (The Old Lady), is a professional Italian football club in Turin, Piedmont. Juventus were founded as Sport-Club Juventus in late 1897 by pupils from the Massimo D'Azeglio Lyceum school in Turin, but were renamed as Foot-Ball Club Juventus two years later. The club joined the Italian Football Championship during 1900. In 1904, the businessman Ajmone-Marsan revived the finances of the football club Juventus, making it also possible to transfer the training field from piazza d'armi to the more appropriate Velodrome Umberto I. FIAT owner Edoardo Agnelli (whose grandson Andrea is currently Chairman of Juventus F.C.) gained control of the club in 1923 and built a new stadium. This helped the club to its second scudetto (league championship) in the 1925–26 season, and the club established itself as a major force in Italian football since the 1930s, becoming the country's first professional club and the first with a decentralised fan base.

One of the most successful clubs in club football, Juventus have won 25 official league titles, 9 Coppa Italia titles and 2 national Super Cups titles, being the record holder for all these competitions; two Intercontinental Cups, two European Cups / UEFA Champions Leagues, one European Cup Winners' Cup, a national record of three UEFA Cups and two UEFA Super Cups.

Juventus have significant rivalries with two clubs, Turin club Torino (with matches between them termed the Derby della Mole) and Internazionale (with matches between them termed the Derby d'Italia) — with another rivalry vs. Milan being predicated on their status as the two most titled teams in Italy. The club plays its home games at the Stadio delle Alpi.


Referee

Urs Meier.

I have a good feeling that we are going to win this game and the first European cup under Fergie.

Good feeling about this one.
Also 90’s are great, but think how great & advanced the world will be in 20 odd years of progress to come.
Can’t wait

Really hope no-one picks up a yellow card in this one. May end up missing the final.

That Conte fella who scored for Juve in the first leg seems like an intelligent player.

Davids was outstanding in the first leg. Really don't think he gets mentioned as much as he should when talking about the great midfielders of the 90s. Keane in his interview after the first game said he was getting too tight to Zidane and didn't focus enough on getting closer to Davids. He made good on this in the second leg :D

OMG, so much negativity. I think we can do it. We just need to win, it's not impossible.

I think we should go for a more European style formation

Schmikes

Neville Stam Johnsen Irwin
Keane
Beckham Scholes
Yorke Giggs
Cole

Giggs has a good goal scoring record vs Juventus so we need to move him further up the field.

Fergie's been underperfoming in Europe for a while now, he's been finished since we lost Cantona - any news on Capello? He's been out of a job since May, he's the man to take us to the next level in Europe

I don't think he should be starting Keane, he's been in and out with a few knocks, looked a bit tired recently. Can't see him having the legs for this one.

Redcafe didn't have a forum back then, and was primarily a United fansite with news, transfer updates, wallpapers et cetera.

* Note that @Niall's account was created in June 1999, so immediately after the Champions League final — stands to reason that the forum was instated sometime after that.

Makes sense. The euphoria of our win nudged Niall into making the site.
