Tuttosport’s front page headline this morning is blunt: “Juve 4th: Lots of Trouble, Zero Excuses.” The report details the challenges facing the team, including Kenan Yildiz risking a three-match suspension for an inappropriate gesture during the game against Monza, and Kelly being sidelined due to injury. Despite these difficulties, the players are reportedly discarding all alibis as they focus on their Champions League aspirations. Yildiz sent a message to teammates like Bianco, stating, “I apologize, I am not like that.” The judge’s decision is anticipated today. Significant injury risks also loom over Vlahovic and Koop. Federico Gatti, who is not yet recovered, urged his teammates, “Let’s examine our conscience.” The article also makes mention of an appeal involving Thuram.
The newspaper also dedicates space to the other Turin club, featuring a lower-section headline titled: “Superga, The Vanished Trial.” This segment explores the many mysteries surrounding the Grande Torino tragedy, particularly concerning missing or altered documents. A new investigation by the Turin daily examines the original judicial records, revealing that the file for the 1949 criminal trial is missing from the State Archive, while the first-degree civil file shows evidence of having been cut. Further revelations are promised for tomorrow.
Champions League news is also covered, with a lower-section headline asking, “Inter, Turn the Light Back On?” Looking ahead to tomorrow’s match in Barcelona (a city recently affected by power outages), hopes are placed on Thuram to help Inter navigate their current slump. Scheduled for this evening is the other first-leg semi-final clash between Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Luis Enrique’s PSG, featuring players like Gianluigi Donnarumma and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
