# 1967–68 Juventus FC season

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, however, the midfielder played only 6 matches in European Cup scoring 2 goals. 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. In Coppa the team was early eliminated in first round. 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.
