Juventus crowned Serie A champions for the fifth consecutive time

Juventus win fifth straight Serie A title as Napoli lose to Roma

Juventus have been crowned Serie A champions for a fifth season in a row after Napoli's 1-0 defeat at Roma.

Sunday's 2-1 win at Fiorentina put them on the brink of glory, and Napoli's failure to win on Monday meant Juve can no longer be caught. Napoli had to claim all three points at the Stadio Olimpico to keep their slim hopes of catching Juve alive but were defeated 1-0 by Roma, which placed third.

It completes a stunning rise for the Old Lady, who was in 12th place and 11 points off the top on 28 October.

However, Juventus won 24 of their 25 league games since then, drawing the other, to take them clear.

Juventus are also looking to defend the Coppa Italia with the club facing AC Milan in the final on May 21.
