Juventus experienced a season of significant change during the 1998/99 campaign, with the club reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the fourth consecutive season.
Having reached the previous three Champions League finals under Marcello Lippi, Juventus entered the campaign with a squad featuring Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, Filippo Inzaghi, Edgar Davids, Antonio Conte and Ciro Ferrara.
The Bianconeri progressed from a Champions League group containing Galatasaray, Rosenborg and Athletic Bilbao. Their European campaign included two meetings with Norwegian champions Rosenborg, as Juventus continued their pursuit of another continental title.
In 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.
Domestically, Juventus finished seventh in Serie A with 54 points. Lippi departed during the campaign, with Carlo Ancelotti appointed as his successor in February 1999.
Produced by Kappa, the 1998/99 Juventus away shirt featured a predominantly white colourway with contrasting black detailing, offering an alternative to the club's traditional black-and-white striped home design. The shirt incorporated a white V-neck collar, black Kappa branding, the Juventus crest and the distinctive D+ Libertà Digitale sponsor.
Associated 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.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.
Our condition guide
10/10 - Brand New with Tags
Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.
9/10 - Mint
Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.
8/10 - Excellent
A well-kept piece with minor signs of age or use. This could include light bobbling, slight fading or very small marks, but it still presents really well.

Noticeable wear consistent with age. This may include moderate fading, small pulls, bobbling, minor cracking to print or a small mark.
6/10 and below - Good with Noticeable Signs of Wear
More obvious signs of wear or ageing. This might include heavier fading, marks, pulls, print wear or repairs.
Any notable flaws will always be highlighted in the product description and imagery.
