During the 1967–68 season Juventus competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and European Cup.

Summary

The club clinched "in extremis" the arrival of Swedish winger Roger Magnusson,[1] however, the midfielder played only 6 matches in European Cup scoring 2 goals.[2] Also, future club legend midfielder Franco Causio made his debut as bianconero.

In League the squad finished in a decent third place just below Milan and Napoli.[3] In Coppa the team was early eliminated in first round.[4][5] The campaign is best remembered by the squad reaching the semifinals of the European Cup for the first time ever. After a dramatic three-leg series against German club Eintracht Braunschweig, the team lost the two matches to Benfica with a superb performance of Eusebio.[6]
