This Juventus Lotto football jacket, a bench coat (known as a "pappagallo" in Italy, referring to these long garments worn by goalkeepers and substitutes) from the 2002-2003 season, corresponds to one of the most memorable campaigns in the club's recent history: under the management of Marcello Lippi, Juventus won their 27th Scudetto and reached the Champions League final at Old Trafford, where they faced Milan in the most important Italian derby ever played in Europe, a match that ended 0-0 and was decided in a penalty shootout, which the Bianconeri lost. It was the season of Pavel Nedvěd, Gianluigi Buffon, Alessandro Del Piero, and David Trezeguet, with Nedvěd starring in a monumental performance in the semi-finals against Real Madrid which, however, resulted in a suspension that prevented him from playing in the final; an epic campaign with a bitter ending. Made of waterproof and slightly satin-finished fabric with a lined interior, this is the garment that Juventus players wore on the bench at European stadiums on that night at Old Trafford. Manufactured by Lotto, it is a size L and is a unique piece of apparel from a Champions League final.
