Cristiano Ronaldo dedicated Juventus’ record-extending ninth successive Serie A title ‘to the fans’ as they defeated Sampdoria in Turin.
The forward scored his 31st league goal of the season from Miralem Pjanic’s short free-kick and Federico Bernardeschi sealed the victory.
Maurizio Sarri’s side are the only team to win nine consecutive titles in one of Europe’s top five leagues.
It extends their own record, which Bayern Munich had matched in June.
