"Old Lady" Juventus already secured its fifth Serie A championship in a run with three games to go after Napoli was beaten 1-0 at Roma on Monday.
Juventus stand on top of the 20-team standings on 85 points after winning 2-1 at Fiorentina on Sunday. Napoli, second on 73 points following Monday's loss, saw their slim hopes of lifting the title dashed after 35 rounds.

Juventus also became the first club to win five straight titles twice.
