Lazio-Juventus is a match that has often seen players line up against former teammates. One such example is the current Lazio captain, Ciro Immobile, who came through the Juventus academy and who shared part of his experience with Giorgio Chiellini, to then become opponents in many an intense duel.
Below are more cases of those that have played on both sides.
STEPHAN LICHTSTEINER
Lazio and Juventus were his only two Italian teams. It was his impressive performances for the capital club from 2008 to 2011 that convinced the Juventus management to swoop for him. The move paid off as Stephan Lichtsteiner became one of the cornerstones of what would become a hugely successful period.
ANTONIO CANDREVA

HERNANES

Lazio was the first Italian club for the Brazilian midfielder, who subsequently played for Juventus for a year and a half, winning the Scudetto and Coppa Italia.
ANGELO PERUZZI

PIERLUIGI CASIRAGHI
If Juventus was his launching pad, Lazio was the team where he displayed all of his talent, projecting him on the stage of the 1994 World Cup and the 1996 European Championships. Pierluigi Casiraghi played in Serie A only for these two clubs. Previously he had turned out for Monza in Serie B, subsequently, with Chelsea in the Premier League.
