Juventus clinch record 27th title
TURIN, Italy, May 10: Juventus won the Italian title for the second straight year on Saturday, a 2-2 draw against Perugia at the Delle Alpi stadium securing their 27th ‘scudetto’ with two games of the season remaining.
Second-placed Inter Milan drew 1-1 at home to Parma, leaving them eight points adrift of Juventus.
An injury-time equaliser by Perugia’s Fabio Grosso slightly took the gloss off the occasion after Marco Di Vaio had put Juventus 2-1 up a minute into the second half.
Perugia striker Fabrizio Miccoli, on loan from Juve, had cancelled out David Trezeguet’s 25th-minute opener from the penalty spot.
With one eye on Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final, second leg against Real Madrid, Juventus coach Marcello Lippi started with several key players, including Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved, on the substitutes’ bench.
