Juventus: The Relentless Pursuit of Glory and Ruin

For a decade, Juventus FC wasn’t just a football club—it was a machine. With nine consecutive league titles, a state-of-the-art stadium, and a vision to transform from a Turin institution into a global lifestyle brand, the "Old Lady" of Italian football seemed untouchable. But behind the record-breaking revenue and the glitz of celebrity signings, a precarious architecture of financial engineering was waiting to collapse.

In this episode of *Peak to Dust*, we pull back the curtain on the rapid rise and sudden, self-inflicted fall of one of the world’s most recognizable sporting organizations. From the "Plusvalenza" accounting scandals and the infamous "Black Book" to the mass resignation of the entire board of directors, we examine how the boardroom’s obsession with growth betrayed the club’s sporting soul.

*This documentary is built upon the rigorous analysis of over 207 primary and secondary sources, including internal legal filings, prosecutorial evidence, and contemporaneous financial disclosures, to reconstruct the true timeline of the Juventus crisis.*
