AC Milan fans are celebrating their
team's 19th Serie A crown and their first scudetto since 2011
after Sunday's 3-0 win at Sassuolo on the last day of the season
sealed the title race.
The win enabled Stefano Pioli's side to stay two points ahead of
outgoing champions Inter, who beat Sampdoria 3-0 at San Siro.
It is also Milan's first Serie A title since ex-premeir Silvio
Berlusconi sold the club in 2017.
Milan police said around 50,000 people took to the streets on
the night between Sunday and Monday to celebrate the triumph.
The team are staging a parade in the city on Monday.
Pioli's Serie A champions medal was stolen during the
celebrations.
The Serie A League has said they will give the coach another
one.
At the other end of the table, Salernitana completed a 'great
escape' from relegation despite being thrashed 4-0 at home by
Udinese.
The Salerno side were let off the hook by Cagliari failing to do
better than a goalless draw at already relegated bottom side
Venezia.
The Sardinian and Venetian teams go down to Serie B long with
Genoa.
Salernitana spent most of the season at the bottom of the table
and had looked doomed but enjoyed a huge improvement in form
after Davide Nicola replaced Stefano Colantuono as their coach
in February.
