  "account": "15 years, 15 defining moments at Juventus' Allianz Stadium\n\nOn the 8th of September, the Juventus Stadium, now known as the Allianz Stadium, opened its gates. The first competitive match followed three days later, with Juventus securing a 4-1 victory over Parma, with Stephan Lichtsteiner scoring the opening goal. Throughout the 15 years, the stadium witnessed countless milestones.\n\nIn 2013, the Scudetto was clinched in the Stadium, with Arturo Vidal's penalty securing the victory over Palermo. That same year, Juventus reached an impressive 102 points, achieving a perfect home campaign in the Serie A league.\n\nThe Stadium played host to memorable European nights in 2015, with Juventus defeating Real Madrid 2-1 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. The image of Zaza's goal for Juventus against Napoli in 2016 marked a significant moment as they took the lead for the first time that season.\n\n2017 marked a year of change for the Stadium, as it officially became the Allianz Stadium following the naming rights agreement. This year also saw Juventus defeat Barcelona 3-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, a European night to remember.\n\nCristiano Ronaldo's overhead kick against Real Madrid in 2018 left the Juventus crowd in awe. Just a few months later, Ronaldo joined the Bianconeri and scored his first goal at the Allianz Stadium against Sassuolo. In 2019, Juventus Women made their debut at the stadium, with 39,000 spectators setting a new Italian record for a women's football match.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic brought a unique experience to the Stadium in 2020, with Juventus and Inter playing a match behind closed doors. The following year, the Stadium continued to stand as an international stage for women's football, hosting the UEFA Women's Champions League final between Lyon and Barcelona.\n\nIn 2023, the centenary of the Agnelli presidency was celebrated at the Allianz Stadium, with an open-door event for fans of the entire Juventus community. The stadium continued to play host to record-breaking events, with 40,696 spectators attending the opening match of the 2024 Serie A season.",
