Their European campaign included two meetings with Norwegian champions Rosenborg, as Juventus continued their pursuit of another continental title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the quarter-finals, Juventus overcame Olympiacos 3–2 on aggregate to set up a semi-final against Manchester United. Following a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford, Juventus established a 2–0 lead in the return fixture through two Inzaghi goals. However, United recovered to win 3–2 and progress to the final.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomestically, Juventus finished seventh in Serie A with 54 points.

The shirt incorporated a white V-neck collar, black Kappa branding, the Juventus crest and the distinctive D+ Libertà Digitale sponsor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssociated with players including Zinedine Zidane, Filippo Inzaghi, Edgar Davids and Alessandro Del Piero, the design represents a campaign in which Juventus reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the fourth consecutive season. Its understated white-and-black colour combination, distinctive sponsorship and connection with one of the club's most recognisable late-1990s squads make it a memorable example of Juventus' Kappa era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e PIT TO PIT - 59cm \/\/\/ COLLAR TO HEM - 72cm \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Soccer Archive","offers":[{"title":"L \/ White","offer_id":53223715799327,"sku":"2\/11-CUWLDY","price":300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3508\/5343\/files\/XLZIDANEREPLACEMENTSPONSOR.png?v=1794304161","url":"https:\/\/thesoccerarchive.com\/ja\/products\/juventus-1998-99-away-shirt-zidane-21-l","provider":"The Soccer Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
