Juve’s title win overshadowed by match-fixing scandal

JUVENTUS won their 29th Italian league title with a 2-0 final day victory over Reggina yesterday, assuring the club of a second successive ‘Scudetto’.

Fabio Capello’s side finished the season three points ahead of second-placed AC Milan who won 2-1 at home to Roma. Fiorentina’s 2-0 win over Chievo assured the Florence club of fourth place and a spot in the qualifying round of next season’s Champions League along with third-placed Inter Milan.

Juve and Milan will go straight into the group stage of the Champions League — unless ongoing match-fixing investigations result in a change to the final league table.
