Juventus fans are still savouring
their team clinching a historic eighth consecutive Serie A title
thanks to Saturday's 2-1 win over Fiorentina.
The Turin giants wrapped up their 35th scudetto in their
history with five games to spare thanks to a header by Alex
Sandro and a German Pezzella own goal.
It means that Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Juventus from
Real Madrid in the closed season, has become the first player to
win a league title in England, Spain and Italy.
The Portugal star played a key role in the triumphant
campaign and has scored 19 goals in Serie A so far this season.
Surprise package Atalanta, meanwhile, boosted their hopes of
finishing in the top four to qualify for next season's Champions
League by coming from behind to win 2-1 at second-placed Napoli
on Monday.
The Bergamo team are level on points with fourth-placed AC
Milan, who have a better record in the head-to-heads and drew
1-1 at Parma at the weekend.
Third-placed Inter tied 1-1 at home with AS Roma, who are one
point behind Atalanta in sixth.
Torino climbed to seventh with a 1-0 win at Genoa.
Lazio are eight, four points adrift of the Champions League
qualification zone, after a shock 2-1 home defeat to
already-relegated bottom side Chievo.
