The Calciopoli affair (corruption of Italian referees) has been divisive since 2006 and will continue to divide for a long time to come. The one who lived this season as the main protagonist is none other than David Trezeguet, who wore the Juventus jersey and who still has difficulty digesting the Scudetto of 2006, revoked and awarded to Inter after the relegation of the Bianconeri: “Inter fans also know it: the championship was won on the pitch by Juve with a show of strength superior to the Nerazzurri. The matches were played and Juve had a monstrous team, superior even to Real, Barcelona and Bayern who were strong that year. The Scudetto that Inter displays is something of folklore. I believe many Inter players knew that Juventus were superior and deserved to win this championship. Everything else is just folklore.»

Juventus ended up playing in Serie B: “It was a very confusing moment. It was not very obvious that this affair was more bureaucratic than sporting. They came from a championship won in extraordinary fashion. Serie B was an individual choice. The club was open to everyone to think about their own future. The strength of each was that no one had really thought about what to do. We immediately adapted despite a competitive championship with teams like Naples, Genoa, Piacenza, Brescia. Deschamps handled that very well. There are not many players who would make this choice, which I also made with River in 2012..
