Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri said his side had put the disappointment of an early exit from the Champions League behind them by sealing the Serie A title on Sunday.

The ‘Old Lady’ came from behind to beat visitors Fiorentina 2-1, which gave Allegri’s side an unassailable lead over second place Napoli at the top of the standings.

It was an eighth consecutive scudetto (little shield) for Juventus, which is an Italian Serie A record.

Juve are also in the last four of the Coppa Italia, but the club’s Champions League dreams were dashed for another season when they were knocked out of the competition by Ajax last Tuesday.

“We put aside Tuesday’s elimination, an elimination which brought us disappointment and bitterness. Luckily we had this match three days after, a match so important it sealed the title for us,” said Allegri.
