Juventus won a record sixth straight
scudetto by beating Crotone 3-0 Sunday to leave them with an
unassailable lead atop Serie A with one game to spare.
Having already won the Italian Cup, the Bianconeri are now
aiming to achieve the treble by beating Real Madrid in the
Champions League final in Cardiff on June 3.
"We are at such a high level that it will be tough to
maintain it," said coach Massimiliano Allegri.
"Ten years ago we got back into Serie A (after Calciopoli),
so the circle has closed", said skipper Gianluigi Buffon, a
possibility for this year's Ballon d'Or.
"A lot of people were pulling against us, that's normal, the
strongest are always easy to dislike," said the Italy keeper.
Gonzalo Higuain, top scorer with 24 strikes, tweeted "very
great group (of players)!. The last step is lacking to do
something extraordinary. All together. Until the end!"
In other results, Roma and Napoli both won to hang on to
second and third Champions League spots respectively.
