According to La Stampa, the upcoming match is a `60 million euro challenge` – meaning a great deal, perhaps everything. Clichés aside, this final game of the season is truly like a final for Juventus, who find themselves on the last matchday with their fate entirely in their own hands. Winning in Venice is non-negotiable.
Their goal is to defend fourth place against the challenges from Roma and Lazio and secure qualification for the next Champions League, which remains their crucial and non-negotiable objective. It`s no exaggeration to say Juve are playing for everything in Venice. The match is worth roughly 60 million euros – this is the estimated difference between qualifying for the Champions League and dropping into the Conference League. The gap isn`t much smaller compared to the Europa League, which would still mean a shortfall of around 50 million euros. This rough calculation considers potential earnings, even from Juve`s less-than-thrilling European campaign which ended with elimination by PSV Eindhoven in the playoffs.
