Juve Finishes Unbeaten

Their last game, at home against Atalanta, meant another victory for Conte's team.

Juventus - Atalanta 3-1
[1-0]  10' Luca Marrone
[2-0]  28' Alessandro Del Piero
[2-1]  83' Stephan Lichtsteiner (o.-g.)
[3-1]  90' Andrea Barzagli (pen.)

Final standings:
1 Juventus  38 23 15 0 68-20 +48  84p
2 Milan  38 24 8 6 74-33 +41  80p
3 Udinese  38 18 10 10 52-35 +17  64p
4 Lazio  38 18 8 12 56-47 +9  62p
5 Napoli  38 16 13 9 66-46 +20  61p

Juventus finishes the league with 0 losses!
Amazing.
How many people would have bet on them to achieve this, before the season started?

After this title win, Juventus now has 28 official titles. (2 were stripped away from them after Calciopoli.)

And I have to talk about that bad aspect of Juventus' title celebration, even though the positives of this season are perhaps more deserving of being analyzed.
I understand the Juventus officials want to put three stars on their equipment for next year. That symbolizes 3 x 10 titles won, and would mean that Juventus still does not want to accept the 2006 Calciopoli penalty as legitimate.

That is the wrong way to go, seriously.

The offense has been proven, it probably goes even deeper than what the evidence showed, and the new, hard-working Juventus people might be better off not peeling off old scars that took so long to heal.

Focus on the present, and on the good side of winning this title, I would dare to say, instead of trying to bring up an argument that you can't win!

Anyway, though, leaving that aside, Juve could win the Italian Cup, too. They're playing Napoli, in the final, next Sunday.
