Juventus and Milan Miss Champions League After 35 Years

Juventus Football Club failed to qualify for the Champions League this season. The club’s absence ends a 35‑year run of participation. Associazione Calcio Milan also failed to qualify for the Champions League this season. Milan’s miss likewise terminates a 35‑year streak of consecutive appearances. This is the first occasion in 35 years that both Juventus and Milan have missed qualification together. The simultaneous miss represents the biggest Champions League flop for the two clubs in that period. Italian football will have no representation from its two most decorated clubs in the upcoming Champions League group stage. The situation underscores a rare downturn in Serie A’s European footprint.
