Season review edit

Parma came the closest it had ever been to winning the Italian championship, but came up short by finishing only two points behind Juventus. The season started with Luca Bucci still as Parma's starting keeper. Young goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, along with new recruits Lilian Thuram, Enrico Chiesa and Hernán Crespo, proved to be the driving force in Parma's title bid, which nearly reached ultimate success. However, a dubious penalty for Juventus in a 1–1 draw against the Turin club in May sealed Juventus' title.
