🎥 Juventus celebrate birthday of club star | OneFootball

Anyone remember Darko Kovačević? If not – you should.

The Serbian striker was one of Juve’s most prolific forwards in the short time he spent in Turin. And today the Serie A club celebrates Kovačević’s 44th birthday by releasing a video of his best moments for the club.

‘Three seasons, 26 goals in black and white’ reads the tweet – but it feels like the goals should be more than that. And what stunners they were.

A former team-mate of Zinedine Zidane, Kovačević played for Juventus from 1999 to 2001, becoming their leading European goalscorer during his first season in Italy. The Serbian sensation found the net in both the Serie A, as well as in the Champions League and Uefa Cup.

Making a total of 44 appearances in all competitions in 1999/00 season alone, Darko found the net 21 times (eight in Serie A, two in Coppa Italia, and 11 in Europe). Kovačević will always be remembered as a legend at Juventus.

Happy birthday, Darko!
