Juventus has continued its painful conclusion to the 2023-24 season by doing seemingly everything it can to not win games. Fans, commentators, and BWRAO writers have all run out of ways to describe this record-breaking run of form in which the team has earned 13 points in ... wait for it ... 13 games.

As we enter the final few weeks of the season, it thankfully seems like Juventus will/should do just enough to qualify for next season's revamped Champions League. Nevertheless, the future is not looking bright for the club unless something dramatic changes happen in the summer.

Bare Minimum Juventus started the month with revenge. The team faced Lazio at home in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal a few days after Adam Marusic's header gave Lazio a last-second victory against Max Allegri's side in the league. After a relatively quiet first half, the Bianconeri came to life after the break. Federico Chiesa scored his first goal in over a month after running onto a fabulous through ball from the in-form Andrea Cambiaso and finishing past goalkeeper Christos Mandas.

Remarkably, Juventus doubled the lead 15 minutes later through Dusan Vlahovic. Weston McKennie pounced on an error in the Lazio defense and fed the ball to his favorite teammate, who did a few stepovers and then buried a left-footed finish into the back of the net. Yet another McKennie-Vlahovic goalscoring combination to cap off a (rare) Juventus victory: 2-0!

Unfortunately, Juventus failed to secure a third consecutive victory in all competitions as it only managed a goalless draw in the Derby Della Mole against Torino. The game's best chance fell to Vlahovic, who somehow failed to score after a lively Chiesa did all the hard work and fired in a fantastic low cross. Unfortunately, Vlahovic could only hit the post with the goal at his mercy.

Other than that, it was a pretty forgettable game, although Valentino Lazaro almost gave Torino a rare derby victory in the 94th minute, but his free header in the box somehow missed the target. Given that Torino has essentially achieved its main objectives for this season - a comfortable mid-table finish - you can't blame them for taking it easy this game.

But Juventus huffed and puffed their way to a comeback. Vlahovic scored a fantastic free kick on the hour mark, although you have to wonder whether it was the quality of his strike or the terrible positioning of the Cagliari wall that caused that goal. Nevertheless, the visitors got their equalizer a few minutes before the end when defenders Mina and Dossena failed to deal with Kenan Yildiz's cross and Dossena accidentally sliced his clearance into his own net. Final score: a barely deserved 2-2 draw.

From one crazy game to the next: this time Allegri's men traveled to the capital to face Lazio in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal. We had a comfortable 2-0 lead going into this game, which meant that surely, surely something was going to go horribly wrong this game because nothing has been easy the last few months.

Sure enough, the team's downfall started in the 12th minute. Taty Castellanos headed home from a corner after easily outmuscling the much-maligned Alex Sandro. You could feel Juve's nervousness from that point onwards as Lazio dominated possession and attacked for most of the game. Mattia Perin prevented a second Castellanos goal just before the break, although if the latter were a better striker it would have certainly been a goal.

Thankfully, Allegri pulled off two inspired substitutions to rescue the game. Tim Weah and Arek Milik came on for a very annoyed Andrea Cambiaso and Dusan Vlahovic respectively, the two combined to give Juventus the crucial goal to reach the final. A Kostic cross went all the way to the back post where Weah collected it and drilled a low cross back into the box. In the meantime, Milik had drifted away from defender Alessio Romagnoli and tapped in unmarked from close range to score the crucial goal that Juventus needed to reach the final: a 2-1 loss (3-2 win on aggregate).

Last but not least, Milan came to town for the final game of the month. Just like Torino, the visitors had little to play for at this stage of the season as second place is virtually certain and it has no silverware that it's competing for. And just like in the Derby della Mole, this lack of motivation was very clear: Stefano Pioli's team had zero shots on target all game.

To their credit, Juventus played one of their most competent games of the month. They attacked and pressed well and there was a rare sense of urgency about their play. They created a few decent chances - the most notable ones came from Vlahovic, Danilo, Milik, and Rabiot - but couldn't get past the impressive second-string goalkeeper Marco Sportiello (in for Mike Maignan who got injured during the warmup). Unfortunately, their labor was in vain as they failed to score the goal that they deserved: 0-0.

Juventus Women Juventus Women had a miserable month of April. The team traveled to Rome to face league leaders Roma and fell behind in the 5th minute after a goal from Alayah Pilgrim. Cristiana Girelli equalized shortly after the break when she converted from Arianna Caruso's cross, but things fell apart in the final 10 minutes of the game. Barbara Bonansea got two yellow cards in quick succession before Evelyne Viens scored the winning goal for Roma five minutes before the final whistle: 2-1.

Italian-Army Knife Andrea Cambiaso has been one of the bright spots of what has been a bipolar season. His incredible tactical intelligence and positional flexibility has made him one of the most valuable members of the team. Left wing, right wing, central midfield; you name the position and Andrea will find a way to make it work for you.

His under-overlapping movements with Weston McKennie have also been a fascinating tactical trick that has clearly benefited both Cambiaso and McKennie; both have been arguably the best Juventus players this season.

If the next coach can't find an answer to this question, we risk seeing Cambiaso fall into the same trap that Claudio Marchisio fell into for a while with Juventus. If nobody knows what your best position/role is and you happen to be good at a few different ones, you're just going to be shoved around from one position to the next to fill in gaps in the team until the coach can figure out what you do best.

While it's nice for the coach to have a get-out-of-jail card who can fix tactical holes in the team, a player can never grow if he's not being played in his best position every week.

And it would be a terrible waste to see that happen to a fabulous player like Cambiaso.
