Chelsea and Juventus are not bitter rivals, because in recent years the two teams have dominated the world of football in different periods, and Chelsea's mortal opponents in the Champions League are Barcelona; Juventus is Real Madrid. However, the two armies often have common managers, such as Claudio Ranieri, Conte and Sarri have all managed the "Bianconeri" and the Blues, and the players are no exception.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Alvaro Morata</h1>
In the summer of 2014, Juventus signed Morata, who was only a substitute for Real Madrid, for 20 million euros; in Juventus' two seasons, Morata performed well, playing as a supporting partner for Dybala and Juan Cuadrado, scoring 27 goals in 93 games and leading the way to the Champions League final. So in the summer of 2016, Morata was bought out by Real Madrid on a buyback term and was repossessed. At the Bernabeu, however, he failed to win against Benzema, who was in a heroic form at the time, but still handed over 20 goals and 6 assists in 43 games, which made him appreciated by Chelsea, who won him the record of 58 million pounds for a transfer fee. However, Morata ended in defeat at Chelsea, he was sold to Atletico Madrid and then loaned to Juventus, and is now playing for the "Bianconeri" for the second time, but his performance is only average. According to reports, he may not be able to defect to the old team due to injury.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > Juan Cuadrado</h1>
In January 2015, then Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was struggling to find a right winger, and with André Schuler, Willian and Salah still not meeting Mourinho's requirements, the Blues brought From Fiorentina Juanadrado, known as the "King of Serie A", for £23.3 million. However, after moving to Chelsea, Juan Cuadrado was unexpectedly not reused by Mourinho and was loaned to Juventus after only half a season. At Juventus, Juan Cuadrado managed to return to the high level of the Purple Lily, scoring 20 goals in 227 games for Juventus over the years, leading five Serie A titles and now playing at right-back.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > Gonzalo Higuain</h1>
In 2016, Gonzalo Higuaín moved from Napoli to Juventus for 90 million euros, becoming the highest-paid South American player in history at the time (the record was only broken by Neymar a year later). In the first two seasons of Juventus, Higuain was the team's goal-breaking weapon, scoring 55 goals in 105 games and leading the two Serie A titles. However, due to Ronaldo's pitch, the Argentine had no place to stand, and then played for Milan and Chelsea on loan. Higuain spent only half a season at Chelsea, scoring five goals in 18 games and doing well. However, he did not get a blues buyout, but returned to Juventus in 2019 and played one more season, but Higuain was no longer there.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > Anelka</h1>
Although Chelsea is known as the graveyard of strikers, there are still many exceptions, such as the former France international Anelka. In January 2008, Anelka moved from Bolton to Chelsea for £15m, becoming a good partner for Drogba. In the 2008-09 season, Anelka scored 19 goals in the Premier League, pushing Cristiano Ronaldo to become the Premier League Golden Boot of the season. After more than four years at the Blues, Anelka won four major titles, but unfortunately fell out with then-manager Boas in 2012 and left the team. After leaving the Blues, Arnelka played for a number of teams, including six months at Juventus in 2012-13, but only won three appearances, and he still won a Serie A title medal without scoring a goal.
