Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is set for a long absence after tearing his ACL in training ahead of the Bianconeri’s massive Serie A match vs. Napoli. ESPN FC’s Gab Marcotti, Craig Burley and Shaka Hislop examine the impact Chiellini’s absence will have on Juventus both in Serie A and in the UEFA Champions League. Plus, Hislop questions whether Chiellini will ever be a regular fixture in the Juventus lineup again and says an injury like this is why the club went out and signed Matthijs de Ligt for a then-record fee for a defender.

ESPN FC’s Craig Burley, Steve Nicol and Gab Marcotti get into a heated debate about Matthijs de Ligt watching Juventus’ 1-0 win vs. Parma from the bench. Marcotti defends De Ligt’s exclusion, given the partnership of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci, and the absence of manager Maurizio Sarri, who is battling pneumonia, but Nicol says it must feel like a “punch to the guts” for the world’s most expensive defender.

The ESPN FC crew look back at Cristiano Ronaldo's first season at Juventus in which he tallied an impressive total of 28 goals and 10 assists in 43 matches (all competitions). While questions arise if he may be rested more under Maurizio Sarri this season, Alejandro Moreno feels it's almost certain he'll top the Serie A goalscoring charts.

ESPN FC’s Craig Burley and Ross Dyer break down Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance in Juventus’ 1-0 win over Parma to kick off the Serie A season. Burley feels that though Ronaldo didn’t score in the match, he showed the kind of positive link-up play he has been known for throughout his time as a striker. Burley also believes that when new Juve coach Maurizio Sarri returns to the side he will use Portuguese star as the man up top, with teammates like Paolo Dybala, Mario Madzukic and Gonzalo Higuain playing around CR7.
