Juventus F.C. in European football

Juventus Football Club first participated in a Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) competition in 1958. The first international cup they took part in was the Central European Cup in which they participated in 1929.^[1] The competition lasted from 1927 to 1940 and the club reached the semi-finals in five editions. From 1938 to the Rio Cup in 1951, Juventus did not participate in any international competitions. Subsequently, since entering the European competitions in 1955, they have competed in all the six confederation tournaments claiming the title at least once in each of them, making the Torinese club the only one worldwide in reach that achievement.^[2][3]

One of the most titled clubs in the sport,^[4][5] Juventus is Italy's second most successful team in European competitions^[6] and the eight club with the most official international tournaments won in the world,^[7] having won eleven official trophies: the UEFA Champions League (formerly known as the European Champions' Cup) twice, European Cup Winners' Cup once, the UEFA Europa League (formerly known as the UEFA Cup) a record of three times, the UEFA Intertoto Cup once, the UEFA Super Cup twice and the Intercontinental Cup twice; being a finalist in seven occasions (five in European Champions' Cup and Champions League, one in UEFA Cup and one in Intercontinental Cup)^[8] and leading the confederation ranking during seven seasons since its introduction in 1979, the most for an Italian club. Based to these results, the club was recognised as Italy's best club and second in Europe of the 20th century according to the all-time ranking published in 2009 by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics, an organisation recognised by FIFA.^[9]

Qualification for international competitions is determined by a team's success in its national league and cup competitions from the previous season. Juventus competed in international competitions for 28 consecutive seasons since 1964 to 1991, more than other Italian club.^[10]

Giovanni Trapattoni is the club's most successful manager at international stage, with six trophies. During his first spell in the club between the 1970s and 1980s, Juventus became the first and only Italian side to win an international competition without foreigner footballers,^[11] the first club in the history of European football to have won all three seasonal competitions organised by the Union of European Football Associations^[12] and the first European club to win the Intercontinental Cup, in 1985, since it was restructured by the European Confederation and Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CONMEBOL)'s organizing committee five years beforehand;^[13] being awarded with The UEFA Plaque by the confederation's president Jacques Georges on 12 July 1988 at Geneva, Switzerland.^[14]

Juventus' biggest-margin win in UEFA club competitions is an 7–0 victory over Lechia Gdańsk in the 1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup, Valur in the 1986–87 European Champions' Cup and Olympiacos in the 2003–04 UEFA Champions League. Alessandro Del Piero holds the club record for the most appearances (130) and goals scored on that stage (53).^[8]
