Juventus beat Sampdoria to seal the ninth consecutive Serie A title, as it happened | Football

Peep peep! Juventus is the champion of Italy for the 35th time and for the ninth consecutive season. They will not reach 90 points, as they have in the past four seasons, but they are still the best team in Italy and have seen good opposition at Inter, Atalanta and Lazio. It is a first league title for his coach Maurizio Sarri, and a great 492 honor for Cristiano Ronaldo. Thank you for your company and emails, good evening!

90 + 2 min Juventus almost grabbed a third. First, Audero saves the Rabiot header, and then Yoshida dramatically clears Bonucci’s shot.

Cristiano Ronaldo thunders worth it off the crossbar. It doesn’t matter for Juventus, but it does for Ronaldo: a goal there would have led two of Ciro Immobile in the race for the Capocannoniere.

PENALTY TO JUVE! Depaoli hacks Alex Sandro just inside the area, a clear penalty kick. Depaoli is reserved.

86 min Another opportunity for Sampdoria. Augello’s deep cross from the left is headed a few meters wide by Gabbiadini. That was not as easy as some of the previous opportunities because there was no rhythm on the cross.

86 min Rabiot is cautioned for clearing the ball in frustration after being penalized for a foul.

82 min Sampdoria appeals to a handball in the Juventus area. The referee is not interested and Juventus breaks two against two. Ronaldo slides a penetrating square pass to set up Higuaín, who deviates with a wide pass.

80 min Sampdoria almost scored with his own training routine. Ramírez, just outside the area to the left, takes a free kick to Quagliarella, whose first-time shot deflects a long way off the near post.

78 min de Ligt limps to be replaced by Daniele Rugani. And Rodrigo Bentancur replaces the excellent Pjanic.

77 min Sampdoria was reduced to 10 men. Morten Thorsby overcomes the ball, goes through Pjanic and receives a second yellow card. There were no complaints.

75 min Substitute Gabbiadini almost immediately scored on Depaoli’s excellent cut, but de Ligt slips in to block his first shot. Sampdoria has been truly impressive tonight.

73 min “Juventus will be the champion of Italy for the ninth consecutive time,” says Ruth Purdue. “Really healthy that, well done everyone.”

Well, there it is. Bayern also won eight games in a row in Germany and PSG seven of the last eight in France.

71 min: well saved by Szczesny! Sampdoria has had some great opportunities tonight. Leris curled up into a magnificent cross from the right to find Quagliarella, whose header was pushed by flying Szczesny. It was a good save, but Quagliarella shouldn’t have given him a chance. His headboard was not near the corner.

Juventus will be champion of Italy for the ninth consecutive time. The second goal, which surely marks the victory tonight, came at the break. Ronaldo cut inside and shot a low shot that was spilled by Audero, and the substitute Bernardeschi was the first on the scene to put the loose ball in the net. That’s his first Serie A goal since September 2018.

Min 61: Good salvation of Audero! Rabiot steals the ball from Linetty and makes another one of those imperious waves in a throwback defense. Finally, he relieves the ball to his right to find Ronaldo, whose fierce shot is hit on the near post by Audero.

57 min Ramírez heads directly to Szczesny from the flat cross at Depaoli. That was another decent opportunity.

54 min: Great opportunity for Tonelli! The sample should really be level. Ramírez’s corner jump from the left was emphatically greeted by Tonelli’s silly jump, whose head-butt down was is very far from the far post. Having defeated De Ligt on the ball, he probably should have scored.

52 min The last time Juventus failed to win Serie A was in 2010-11, when they suffered an absurd collapse of seven losses in 11 games.

51 min: opportunity for the sample! Ramirez jumped Augello’s beautiful cross from the left, but was well taken by Leris, whose instinctive half volley was very close to the near post.

50 min Juventus have had a good start to the season. An excellent free kick by Pjanic to the right evades Ronaldo and Higuaín in the far post.

That was a classic training camp goal. The free throw was 20 yards, a long way to the right of the center. Pjanic made a dummy to shoot and instead made a sharp pass through the area to Ronaldo, who ran around the ball and hit it for the first time in the bottom corner. That is a goal that is broken.

45 + 6 min Tonelli is reserved for retiring Rabiot, who had made another powerful run through midfield. It was very impressive tonight.

45 + 4 min Bernardeschi holds the free kick on the wall and on the bar.

45 + 2 min After a quick, one-touch move from Juventus, Rabiot is tripped on the edge of the area by Thorsby. The free kick is a path just to the right of the center, so it is not ideal for a right foot. Thorsby has been reserved.

45 + 1 min There will be six minutes of extra time due to all injuries.
