Juve, the scudetto is his for the ninth time in a row

The bianconeri beat Sampdoria 2-0 and confirmed themselves as champions of Italy for the ninth consecutive time – nobody has done better in Europe – and for the 36th time in their history – It is also Sarri's first trophy as a professional but the judgment on Juve's fluctuating season can only be given after the Champions League – By Cristiano Ronaldo (who then misses a penalty) and by Bernardeschi the winning goals against Samp of the former Ranieri

Juve, the scudetto is his for the ninth time in a row

The second is good. This time the Juventus he's not wrong, he beats Sampdoria and wins the thirty-sixth championship in its history, the ninth in a row, the first with Sarri after the three won with Conte and the five with Allegri. To sign the black and white title, as it was obvious that it was, Cristiano Ronaldo, author of the goal that broke the balance at the end of the first half (45'+7') and of the shot which, thanks to a far from blameless Audero, allowed Bernardeschi to find the final 2-0, the error from the disk with time almost up tarnished, at least partially, his performance.

In between, however, also a couple of great saves by Szczesny (on Ramirez and, above all, on Quagliarella) and, more generally, several Sampdoria occasions, demonstrating a lackluster moment, beyond the final victory. However, the extraordinary feat of winning the ninth consecutive Scudetto remains, absolute record of the main European championships: like Juve, in short, no one ever.

"This title has a strong, particular flavor, winning is difficult, every year it's complicated: in sport there is never anything easy - the hot comment of Sarri – The merits? Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala make the difference, but the club does the bulk, the president is a great character, he is close to you in difficult moments. Managers feel a lot here, you need to understand their way of thinking, tiptoe in and change things slowly to bring them closer to your own ideas: you can't get where you've been winning for years and impose yourself, it would be unintelligent".

Filed, with a few too many worries, the Scudetto speech, it's time to think about the Champions League and the comeback on Lyon, necessary to enter the final eight of Lisbon. A far from simple mission, because in addition to the obvious technical-tactical difficulties, injuries are also making things difficult for the Lady: yesterday Dybala also stopped, forced to go out in the 40th minute, and De Ligt (78') , which, net of the umpteenth fallout by Douglas Costa and a Higuain very far from ideal form (the sensational mistake in the 82nd minute), makes the squad increasingly decimated.

“We'll evaluate everything in the next few days, but the feeling is that Paulo has a muscle problem – he sighed Sarri – We'll only think about the Champions League from tomorrow, now let's take a day to enjoy the satisfaction: then the good and the difficult will come together, it's a tournament in which it's practically impossible to make predictions, but I think that if we beat Lyon then it could really happen All".

Sunday of smiles also for Lazio e Roma, both victorious against Verona e Fiorentina. The most bombastic success is certainly that of Inzaghi's men, capable of conquer Bentegodi with a sensational 5-1, but the standings in hand it is clear that the Giallorossi have more weight, now really one step away from the Europa League goal. If Fonseca manages to repeat himself in Turin on Wednesday, it will be safe qualification for the group stage, but the result could come regardless if Milan, engaged in Genoa a couple of hours earlier, do not score any points.

In short, Roma have a good chance of closing their championship 90 minutes early and this thanks to yesterday's success, much more complicated than we thought on the eve. To get the better of Fiorentina, the Giallorossi needed two penalties, both converted by Veretout (45', 87'): in the middle, Viola's equal with Milenkovic (54'), but above all chances on both sides, for a good and hard-fought game.

“They hadn't lost in six games and they always had good results, but we had a good game – commented by Fonseca – We are playing well, with confidence, other things are not a problem. Now let's think about Turin".

Spectacular victory instead for the Lazio, back to the levels of some time ago. Unfortunately for her, the alarm came too late to aim for the Scudetto, but at least there is still time to finish second and end the season with a clear conscience. Big star of the day Ciro Immobile, author of a hat-trick (two from a penalty in the 45th and 94th minutes, the other in the 84th minute) which brings him to 34 goals in the league, two less than the record holder Higuain, and tied with Lewandowski for the golden boot. In between the goals of Milinkovic-Savic (56') and Correa (63'), to cancel the momentary advantage of Verona with Amrabat from a penalty (38').

"We saw the Lazio we knew before, with the changes on the bench and the adequate squad to play these games - the analysis of Inzaghi – This victory was important for us, we don't want to finish fourth: the team doesn't deserve it for what they did".
