Juventus has won just 1 of the last 5 games and yet the other top 3 in this year's Serie A messed it up too by not winning more than 2 of their last 5 games. What an opportunity lost for Inter, Atlanta and Lazio. Any of those 3 teams could have been leading the league right now if they performed well in the last 5 match days. They’re champions now though ... for the 9th season in a row. Beat Sampdoria 2-0 on Sunday night to clinch it. I really like Juve and supported them as log as Buffon played for them in his first stint for them. But 9 is a row is not good. I just hope some other team wins it the next time.

Immobile scores his 35th league goal of the season for Lazio. www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jul/29/lazio-brescia-cagliari-juventus-milan-sampdoria-udinese-lecceCiro Immobile has moved to within one goal of Gonzalo Higuaín’s single-season Serie A scoring record with a late strike in Lazio’s 2-0 win over Brescia. Simone Inzaghi’s side kept their hopes of a second-placed finish alive with a dominant display against opponents who have already been relegated back to Serie B. Immobile set up the opener, exchanging passes with Joaquín Correa who weaved his way through several defenders before scoring from close range. The hosts had plenty more chances to add to their lead, with Immobile skimming the post, but the striker had to wait until eight minutes from time, finishing from a tight angle for his 35th goal of the season as Correa turned provider. Lazio’s last game of the season is away to Napoli on Saturday. Immobile is now four goals clear of Cristiano Ronaldo in Serie A’s Capocannoniere race, after the Juventus forward drew a blank in a sobering 2-0 defeat at Cagliari. Maurizio Sarri made eight changes from the side that sealed a ninth successive title against Sampdoria on Sunday, with only Ronaldo, Miralem Pjanic and Juan Cuadrado keeping their places against hosts that had been in dreadful form. Walter Zenga’s side had scored just three goals in a run of eight matches without a win, but took the lead after only eight minutes through striker Luca Gagliano. The 20-year-old reacted quickest to prodhome Federico Mattiello’s low cross to score his first goal for the club.
