Juventus became the Italian champion for season 2011-2012 today.
The team from Turin won, 2-0, away, at Cagliari, and was able to celebrate the title win after this second-to-last match because Milan lost and the difference in the standings between the two teams is now 4 points with one match left.
Juventus showed good form against Cagliari, scoring through Vucinic (in minute 6) and Borriello (74), and making their fans forget about the two points dropped against Lecce a week ago.
AC Milan, on the other hand, began by conceding the first goal to Inter in the 14th minute. (That was the first of four they would concede! Pathetic, isn't it?! That was, essentially, the difference between the two title contenders: How they fared against inter: Juventus, 6 points; Milan, 0. And there goes the title.)
Although Ibrahimovic brought Milan level before the interval, and even put them ahead in minute 46, that was all Milan could muster. Inter got two penalties, and the lead again, by the 79th minute. And then, close to the end, Maicon made sure Milan was down for the count (and out of the title race).
So, Juventus finally succeeds in winning a Scudetto after the Calciopoli scandal.
Was it deserved? Probably so.
And the unbeaten run sure is very impressive.
