Juventus F.C. returned to domestic glory in the first season under Fabio Capello's reign. The former Juventus midfielder had a positive influence on the Juventus squad, and it seemed as though he had led the club to its 28th league title. However, that was all to change a year afterwards when Calciopoli sent Juventus to Serie B. On the pitch in 2004–05, Swedish signing Zlatan Ibrahimović was the biggest positive surprise. Not known as an outright goalscorer at previous club Ajax, Ibrahimović hit the back of the net 16 times in his debut Serie A season. Another signing, Fabio Cannavaro, gave the team the stability it had lacked in the 2003–04 season, and helped the defense to be rock-solid. Juventus conceded just 27 goals throughout the league season and this, combined with the 67 goals scored, gave the club both the best defence and best attack of 2004–05 in Italy. The lowest point of the season was not being able to get past Liverpool in the Champions League. Sami Hyypiä and Luis García scored early goals at Anfield, from which Juventus could not recover, despite a second half goal by Fabio Cannavaro. Juventus were outplayed throughout most of the game by the unfancied but fitter and hungrier Liverpool players. However, Cannavaro's away goal meant they could go through to a semi-final showdown with Chelsea if they won the return leg in Turin just 1–0. In this second leg, Ibrahimović missed a golden chance when all he had to do was turn in a Gianluca Zambrotta cross. After that, Juventus failed to pose any threat to the well-organized English side, and Rafael Benítez scored a tactical win over Fabio Capello. Liverpool would go on to win the competition. It was an extremely disappointing end to the European campaign for Juventus, who had looked among the favourites to go all the way after an impressive run of wins in the group stages. Of their 6 group games, they had won 5 (all with a 1–0 scoreline), including home and away successes against German powerhouse Bayern Munich. In the round of sixteen, goals from David Trezeguet and Marcelo Zalayeta had imperiously seen off Fabio Capello's former club Real Madrid, who had won the first leg in Madrid 1-0. ==Players== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2004–05 Juventus F.C. season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
