Juventus now have a 14-point lead over second-placed Napoli, who, even in the event of a win over Inter Milan later yesterday, cannot overtake the Turin giants in the final three games of the season.
Juve’s title celebrations were tinged by the late sending-off of French midfielder Paul Pogba, who saw red seven minutes from the final whistle after spitting at Salvatore Aronica following a shouting match with the defender.
The Turin giants have now secured one of two spots in Serie A which offer direct qualification for next season’s Champions League, with Napoli poised to claim the runners-up spot.
