Juventus eventually finished first in Serie A with 86 points, seven ahead of Milan, recording 26 league victories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir defensive record proved particularly impressive, with Buffon and the back line conceding just 27 league goals, the fewest in the division. Juventus also scored 67 league goals, giving them the strongest attacking record in Serie A that season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Champions League, Capello's side progressed to the Round of 16, where they eliminated Real Madrid following a 2–0 extra-time victory in Turin. However, their European campaign ended in the quarter-finals against eventual winners Liverpool, who progressed 2–1 on aggregate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Juventus initially celebrated their 28th league championship, the title was later revoked following the Calciopoli investigation in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Nike, the 2004\/05 Juventus home shirt featured the club's traditional black-and-white vertical stripes, complemented by contrasting white panels and gold detailing. Based on Nike's Total 90 template, the design incorporated the Juventus crest, two gold stars and the Sky Sport sponsor on the domestic league version. Associated with Capello's first season in charge and the performances of Ibrahimović, Cannavaro and Del Piero, the shirt represents a significant but controversial period in Juventus' history.\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 - 47cm \/\/\/ COLLAR TO HEM - 66cm \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Soccer Archive","offers":[{"title":"KIDS XL \/ Black","offer_id":50934226551071,"sku":"3\/5-C2C4MK","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3508\/5343\/files\/1xxx.png?v=1741967819","url":"https:\/\/thesoccerarchive.com\/products\/juventus-2004-05-home-shirt-del-piero-10-xl-kids","provider":"The Soccer Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
