Who Is The All-Time Record Scorer For Juventus And How Many Goals Did They Net?

Start

To be the Juventus record goalscorer is an honor that only a genuine club legend can boast which in theory, comes as little surprise. 

Over the years, the Old Lady has been represented by the very best world soccer has to offer. However, there is only one superstar who will be forever cherished for his goalscoring exploits.

He played for Juve for a total 19 years between 1993 – 2012. The legendary forward featured in a staggering 705 games across all competitions.

Not only that, the star in question won six Serie A titles as well as a Serie B championship. They also won the Coppa Italia (1) and Supercoppa Italiana (4).

In Europe, UEFA Champions League success came their way in 1996 and the Turin hero also won the UEFA Super Cup, the UEFA Intertoto Cup as well as the Intercontinental Cup.

In 2006, this star was rewarded with the biggest success of all. They were part of the Italy side who beat France in the FIFA World Cup final.

Who Is The Juventus Record Goalscorer?

There are no prizes for guessing who we are talking about. Of course, it’s none other than goalscoring phenomenon Alessandro Del Piero.

During his prime at Juventus, Del Piero was easily one of the greatest soccer players to ever feature for the Old Lady. The Turin legend played in a number of offensive positions.

Such versatility made him almost unplayable from a defender’s point of view. Not only that, Del Piero was a free-kick specialist who would often score from long distance.

Furthermore, Del Piero’s creative style of play, eye for goal, flair, and technical skill earned him the nickname of “Fantasista” in Italy and beyond.

Perhaps most notably, the soccer media even produced a term for when Del Piero hit the back of the net. This was due to the way he would often replicate the same finish by dribbling past his defender from the flank and curling the ball into the top corner of the goal.

Reporters in Italy simply stated it as a “Del Piero Goal.” That further demonstrates just how often he would score a goal like the aforementioned.

How Many Goals Did Alessandro Del Piero Score For Juventus?

Juventus record goalscorer Aleesandro Del Piero netted a staggering 290 times for the club. That translates to a goal every 168 minutes across his 705 appearances.

To break it down further, it equates to 0.41 goals per match. Truly amazing figures for a player who really was the best at his craft.

To further appreciate Del Piero’s Juve goals, he netted over 100 times more than his closest challenger Giampiero Boniperti. The Old Lady legend spent his entire career in Turin and scored 185 goals.

Del Piero’s best season occurred during the 1997-98 campaign. In total, “Fantasista” scored a hugely impressive 32 goals from 47 appearances.

His second most successful campaign in terms for goals came in 2002-03. Del Piero scored 23 Juventus goals after featuring in 38 fixtures.

After posting such hugely impressive numbers, it is very unlikely that Del Piero’s record will ever be broken. With that in mind, it’s easy to see why he is often considered the club’s greatest ever player.
