Serie A is back!
Italy's top flight has returned for a 119th season, with Juventus looking to defend its title for the ninth year in a row. The Bianconeri remain the class of Serie A, although old and rising powers like AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio and Atalanta look to keep Juve Scudetto-free for the first time since 2011.
USMNT fans will have a rooting interest this season, as midfielder Weston McKennie joined Juventus on loan in late August. The 22-year-old looks to earn a spot in the best lineup in Italy — alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and fellow Juve newcomer Arthur — to become the first American regular in Serie A since Michael Bradley in the early 2010s.
