Roma knocks out Napoli and Juve wins the fifth Scudetto in a row

With a goal from Nainggolan in the 88th minute, Roma beat Napoli 1-0 and mathematically consecrates Juve as champions of Italy for the fifth consecutive time with a feat that goes down in history – It was 80 years since Juve had not won five league titles in a row

Roma knocks out Napoli and Juve wins the fifth Scudetto in a row

Juve wins the Scudetto for the fifth consecutive time and is champion of Italy. The mathematical certainty comes from the Olimpico where, two minutes from the end, Roma beat Napoli with a goal from Nainggolan after Totti's entry. Sarri's team, strengthened by the return of Higuain, played better and dominated the match against Roma for large stretches but never managed to score and let themselves slip in at the last minute. And, at this point, Napoli's gap from Juve, which has risen to 8 points, is now unbridgeable.

The Juve fans celebrated immediately as they accomplished a legendary feat by winning the Italian flag for the fifth time in a row, as had only happened in the XNUMXs. An even more memorable undertaking, if one considers that this year Juve had started very badly and after the first few months they had an abysmal gap from leaders Inter and were in fourteenth place in the standings with the close prospect of liquidating coach Max ahead of time Merry.

Since then Juve's run-up has been impressive: 24 wins in a row out of 25 matches and an assured record. Captain Buffon was the emblem of Juve's desire to never give up and always win. But special applause, in addition to the Juventus defense, which once again proved to be the best in the championship, deserves three young players of the highest class - Pogba, Morata and Dybala - who made the difference and contributed decisively to the conquest of the new scudetto.
