Juventus enjoyed a dominant spell in Italian football not too long ago, winning nine consecutive Serie A titles and making significant strides on the European stage. Between 2015 and 2017, the club reached the Champions League final twice and consistently outperformed their domestic rivals, establishing themselves as the benchmark for success in Italy.
During that era, the Bianconeri were the undisputed powerhouse of Italian football. Other clubs struggled to match their consistency, quality, and winning mentality. However, the landscape has shifted considerably since 2021, when Juventus relinquished their grip on the title to Inter Milan. Since then, they have not mounted a credible challenge for the Scudetto, and their dominance has gradually diminished.
Despite their historical status as Italy’s most decorated club, Juventus have had to watch on as Inter Milan have assumed the role of the country’s foremost team. Under the guidance of Simone Inzaghi, Inter have not only reclaimed domestic supremacy but also enhanced their reputation on the European stage.
German legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a respected voice in international football, recently commented on Inter’s progress and drew parallels between their current success and Juventus’ golden era. As quoted by Tuttojuve, he stated:
“I wasn’t surprised because I’ve been following them for a long time. Inter is a team that is often underestimated, not by their opponents, but by the football environment in general. Just look at how they’ve presented themselves in recent years, how close they came to the Champions League, in the final against Manchester City. Inter has become what Juventus was years ago. They dominate Italian football and do well in international football too.”
This observation highlights a notable shift in power. Inter have constructed a balanced and efficient squad capable of competing both domestically and in Europe, reminiscent of Juventus’ own run of success during the previous decade.
For Juventus, the challenge is clear: rebuild swiftly and strategically in order to return to the summit of Italian football. Restoring the club’s former stature will require more than heritage—it demands smart recruitment, tactical evolution, and renewed ambition to challenge the new dominant force in Serie A.

Add a CommentWith these 2 Serie A titles, Inter is still far from Juventus’ dominance. Fortunately.
And don’t get me wrong, but a true Juventus fan hates inter Milan so much that he wouldn’t write something like that:
“Inter Milan have assumed the role of the country’s foremost team.”
And NOT I repeat NOT SELL OUR PLAYERS like Yildiz and co. After nurturing them and not seeing the END PRODUCT!
Regardless of hating Milan. They are far and away a better and more consistently dominant club than Juve have been over the last couple of years. Deeper squad. Good recruitment. Better coaching. Juve can return to that place but when and who will be the guiding force/forces behind it, are the questions.
These are strong statements, fortunately none of them are true in this form.
1.) Ownership, background: inter has never had the ownership background that Juventus has. Those who stand by Juventus in case of a problem. At inter Milan, when there is a problem, it is always a question of selling the club.
2.) Management: Where inter is now, they can only thank Juventus for their stupidity (Agnelli vs Marotta) and mistakes, not their merit. Without Marotta, they would be nowhere. (they would be where they were before)
But this situation will not last forever, sooner or later Juventus will recover.
3.) Dominance: Juventus’ dominance lasted for almost 10 years and no other team could really make it difficult. We can’t talk about inter’s dominance, because it doesn’t exist. It is true that they have won a few Serie A titles (they are far from Juventus’ 9 years), but there is no dominance here. They are on the same level as Napoli.
4.) Coaching and team: Inzaghi is not bad, nor is his team, but not at all special. They received several slaps, in the spring Juventus, bleeding from many wounds, made fools of them. Even if the result (1-0) did not reflect this, a theoretically tired Juventus physically trampled on a theoretically rested Inter. It’s another matter whether Juventus’ UCL season went to waste because of this match. “Thank you”, Lega Serie A, you helped inter a lot again, and you were able to cause problems for Juventus again.
