Juventus starting to feel the strain as exhaustion sets in (The Associated Press)

Exhaustion is starting to set in at Juventus as the season continues, with cracks starting to appear in the five-time reigning champion. Like most of the top teams in Europe, Juventus is battling on two fronts - its domestic league and the Champions League - while most of its players are also involved with their national teams. The Bianconeri appeared on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages with two matches to spare on Wednesday before conceding a late goal to draw 1-1 at home to Lyon.
