The 2014–15 season was Juventus Football Club's 117th in existence and eighth consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. The club competed for a treble, having won their fourth consecutive Serie A title in which they finished 17 points clear of second place Roma, and beat Lazio in the final of the Coppa Italia. However, they lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final, handing the Spanish club their second continental treble.
Season review
After winning three consecutive domestic titles, Juventus and Antonio Conte would go on different paths, becoming the coach of the Italy national team. His place is taken from Massimiliano Allegri who, in 2011, won the Scudetto managing Milan. New signings for the 2014–15 season were Patrice Evra, Kingsley Coman and Álvaro Morata. Carlos Tevez was an integral part of the team as the club's leading scorer. Juventus lost the chance to gain the first seasonal trophy with a loss to Napoli in the 2014 Supercoppa Italiana on penalties after a 2–2 draw.
During the second part of season, Juventus retain the lead of Serie A reaching - at the same time - final step in both cups, domestic and continental. On 26 April 2015, Juventus lost 2–1 to Torino, their first defeat in the Derby della Mole since 1995. Six days later, beating Sampdoria away, the Bianconeri win the league title (fourth consecutive and 31st overall) with four games left to play. Between matchdays 36 and 37, Allegri also conquests the Coppa Italia with a 2–1 win over Lazio: the tenth win for Turin club in this competition; a new domestic record. Juventus finished the league with 17 points more than second-placed Roma, but fell as runners-up in Europe, losing 3–1 against Barcelona in the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final. The first half ended with an early Ivan Rakitić goal to give the advantage to the Spanish side, but Juventus were able to equalize after 10 minutes of the second half with a Morata goal. Barcelona then scored two more goals in the 68th minute by Luis Suárez, with the final goal coming during injury time.
