Overview
- Former members of the 1996 team gathered at the Continassa training centre over Friday and Saturday to mark 30 years since the club's last Champions League win.
- The event included a museum lunch with miniature Champions League trophies as place settings, a pitch tour, hotel arrivals and extended meetings between the former players and club officials.
- The reunion centered on tributes to Gianluca Vialli, with his number nine shirt a focal point and emotional embraces captured between figures such as Marcello Lippi and John Elkann.
- Coverage and social posts from participants like Alessandro Del Piero documented the celebration, while journalists noted the contrast between the nostalgia-driven event and Juventus's current fragile sporting situation.
- Reports conflicted on coach Luciano Spalletti's attendance, an unresolved discrepancy in contemporaneous articles, and the gathering has fuelled fan calls for greater involvement from former players in the club's future.
