The 1996-97 campaign for Juventus, led by Marcello Lippi, was an all-conquering season that delivered the Serie A Scudetto and cemented their dominance in Europe. The team, featuring the sublime Zinedine Zidane in his breakout year, also secured the UEFA Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup before reaching a second consecutive Champions League Final (runners-up). Spearheading the domestic attack were the joint league top scorers: Michele Padovano, Alessandro Del Piero, and Christian Vieri, who each notched 8 crucial goals in a campaign built on domestic supremacy and global prestige.
