Following the match between Manchester City and Juventus, a strong and critical reaction emerged from fans, amplified by comments made by coach Igor Tudor after the game. The prevailing sentiment among many supporters is a sharp critique of the current squad`s quality. They believe that a significant number of players do not meet the standards expected at Juventus and that the match clearly highlighted the considerable gap between their team and top European sides like Manchester City.
There is a widespread call for urgent investment in the transfer market to bring in high-level players. Fans argue that the club`s current leadership needs to significantly increase spending if Juventus is to compete at the highest levels in Italy and Europe again. Some comments directly challenge specific tactical choices made by Tudor, such as fielding certain players against vastly superior opponents (mentioning matchups like Savona or Gatti against Haaland). Others question the continued presence of players who are both expensive and, in their view, lacking quality, with particular criticism directed at Dusan Vlahovic.
The general feeling expressed is that the current squad does not embody the prestige and winning mentality associated with Juventus, and that there is a perceived lack of adequate structural support at the corporate level. While acknowledging Tudor`s passionate commitment, some feel he is not the right fit for the club and point to his post-match press conference reference to City`s spending as inappropriate. Overall, the reaction underscores deep dissatisfaction with the team`s current state and performance.
