Juventus were left to celebrate their fifth consecutive Serie A title on Monday after Radja Nainggolan scored late on to give Roma a 1-0 win against Napoli.
Maurizio Sarri’s men had to win to keep their faint hopes of finishing top alive, but Gonzalo Higuain and Co could not find a way past Wojciech Szczesny in the hosts’ goal.
Nainggolan, who is a target for incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, smashed a fine, low strike into the bottom corner in the 89th minute, giving the visitors no chance to reply.
The Juventus squad watched the game at their HQ in Vinovo and were seen celebrating joyously in the dressing room after the final whistle.
Captain and legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon toasted his seventh Serie A triumph, while Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini was seen spraying a huge bottle of champagne.
Alvaro Morata and Juan Cuadrado, the Colombia winger on loan from Chelsea, were among the players who posed with giant cigars in their mouths.
Paul Pogba, the team’s star midfielder leaped around on a table. Boss Massimiliano Allegri was hurled into the air as the players showed their appreciation for his feats by giving him the bumps.
