Today's papers continue their assessment of the Bianconeri's current season.

The Gazzettta dello Sport headlines with, "Juve, now for the Scudetto", and quotes the club's troubled star, Alessandro Del Piero. "We have paid for our errors, now we're ready for the fight back." The paper also highlights the club president, Antonio Chiusano's comments on the fans protests. "Shame on those who contest us."

The Corriere dello Sport highlights the change in tactics that are likely to hit the squad now that the Bianconeri's cup hopes are over for the season. Carlo Ancelotti is unlikely to give more than 16-17 players a chance, with squad rotation kept to a minimum. Juan Esnaider and Daniel Fonseca are likely to be on their way while things could become complicated for Marco Zanchi, Michele Paramatti, Fabian O'Neill and Darko Kovacevic. Del Piero places the responsibility for European failure firmly on Juve's shoulders, "It is our own fault that we're reduced to this. We only have the Scudetto left, so we should accept everything in silence." Meanwhile, renewed hope is brought by the return of Paolo Montero as well as Gianluca Zambrotta.

Tuttosport comes up with some more imaginative transfer stories, under the headlines: "Milan on Del Piero and Cassano. Juve on Recoba." And if that wasn't enough Luca Marchegiani is also said to be on his way north to join Turin.
