Nice battle from a distance between Bayern Munich and Juventus for the price of the most beautiful national hegemony. Juve beat Sampdoria 2-0 on Sunday to claim their ninth consecutive championship (against eight Bundesligas in a row for Bayern). Two days from the end of the championship, the Turin club is seven points ahead of Inter Milan, second, and can therefore no longer be joined.

This championship is the first won under the orders of Maurizio Sarri, who extends the incredible series initiated by Antonio Conte (three titles) and continued by Massimiliano Allegri (five coronations).

He especially bears the mark of Cristiano Ronaldo, already author of 31 goals in 36 days and who, despite his 35 years, did not seem affected by the sequence of matches every three days and in full heat, consequence of the three months interruption caused by the coronavirus. On Sunday against Sampdoria, he scored the first goal, was behind the second and missed a penalty in the dying moments.

The Old Lady now has a Lyon to tame

Before leaving in search of a 10th consecutive title next season, the Piedmontese club can now turn to the Champions League, its great goal for several years. Beaten 1-0 by Lyon in the round of 16 first leg, the Bianconeri are in a precarious situation and elimination at this stage of the event would give their season a much less positive turn.
