Juventus clinched its fifth straight Serie A title with three matches
to spare after Napoli was beaten 1-0 at Roma on Monday April 25,2016, capping an
impressive run after a difficult start to the season.
Juventus last won five consecutive titles from 1931-35.
Juventus won 2-1 at Fiorentina on Sunday April 24,2016 and Napoli needed to beat Roma to prevent the Bianconeri from celebrating.
It’s the first time a team has won Serie A after losing four of its opening 10 matches.
“I always say that you grow amid hardships, so considering our path, I’ve got even more pride,” Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri wrote on Twitter. Allegri also attached a tweet he made in August: “Serie A isn’t a 100-meter final; it’s a marathon: You need to be patient to find the right rhythm.”
Radja Nainggolan scored for Roma one minute from the end on a play that began with Roma’s 39-year-old captain Francesco Totti.
Juventus lead Napoli by 12 points, with Roma two points further back in a tight race for second and the last direct berth in the Champions League
Last month, Buffon broke a 22-year-old Serie A record by not conceding a goal for 974 consecutive minutes. He also saved a late penalty against Fiorentina on Sunday April 24,2016
Juventus faces Milan for the Italian Cup title on May 21, having been eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich in the Round of 16.
