Juventus Football Club finished in 6th place in the 1987–88 Serie A season.
Overview Following Platini's departure, Juventus tried to find a substitute in Welsh striker Ian Rush. Despite being seasonal top scorer, he disappointed fans' hope about him. Bianconeri passed only a challenge in UEFA Cup, finishing their path in round of 32. Condemned by a slow trend in league Juventus bet his cards on domestic cup, but was defeated by Torino in semifinals. His revenge came anyway after Serie A end, beating granata (on shootout) in a playoff that awarded last UEFA Cup spot.
