Juventus clinched their 36th Serie A title with a 2-0 win over Sampdoria on Sunday to further increase their dominance over Italian football.

Maurizio Sarri’s men who didn’t have it all their own way this season unlike a few previous campaigns eventually won the Scudetto with two games to spare.

The latest title triumph takes the Turin club’s tally to 36 exactly twice the amount of titles won by the two Milan clubs – Inter and Milan – who are second and third on the list.

Cristiano Ronaldo was brought by Juventus to bring the Champions League trophy to Turin, but his contribution towards extending their domestic dominance can’t be under-estimated. Ronaldo who has scored 31 goals this season is one goal short of equaling Felice Borel’s record of 32 goals in the 1933-34 Serie A season.

He became the first Juventus player in 60 years to score more than 25 goals for the club in a single Serie A season.
