The squad was called out one by one and their names chanted by the crowd after today’s 3-0 victory over Cagliari. Antonio Conte was the penultimate man out and given a standing ovation by the fans, who called for him to stay on. Captain Buffon lifted the trophy to the sky, the Bianconeri’s third in a row, but the planned run round the pitch with the silverware was cut short by a pitch invasion. The Curva Sud burst its banks and sent stewards flying, sending players, their wives and children running into the tunnel. It was also reported that Carlos Tevez was particularly angry at being manhandled by over-enthusiastic fans. The party therefore had to continue in a sedate manner inside the locker room, as milk replaced champagne with players holding their kids. Meanwhile, the ultras were seen trying to break apart the goal mouth to take home souvenirs from the Juventus Stadium. Juventus will now go through the city streets in an open-top bus. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Pirlo: 'Credit to Conte' May 18, 2014 Andrea Pirlo said “much of the credit” goes to Antonio Conte for a record-breaking 102-point Juventus run. “We beat every record, amassed 102 points and it will be almost impossible for anyone to repeat that. “This was an extraordinary campaign and crowned by this victory,” Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia after a 3-0 win over Cagliari. The entire second half was dominated by supporters waving banners calling for their Coach to remain. “It was a lovely show of affection from the crowd towards Conte and we hope it can all be resolved over the next few days. “Much of the credit for these trophies goes to Conte, as he picked up a team fresh from finishing seventh twice and won three Scudetti in a row.” This is a new top five European League record of 102 points. They are also the first Serie A side to end a campaign with a perfect home record.

The Giallorossi tested out several new faces for the 1-0 loss against Genoa this afternoon. Juventus shattered European records with 102 points in a single season and a perfect home record. “We won’t see a leader like that again for a very long time, as going over 100 points is unique. Next season is a new term, we have to be concentrated and the club also wants to make a competitive squad. “In Germany and Spain there are few teams after the first couple who can really challenge for the title or even the Champions League. In Italy there are Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Milan, Inter and Fiorentina, plus always a surprise element. “Serie A is very competitive, so we need to make sure we are able to challenge in Serie A as well as the Champions League.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 3 - 0 CAGLIARI Andrea Pirlo (8′) Fernando Llorente (15′) Claudio Marchisio (40′) May 18, 2014 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee:‬ Mauro Bergonzi Attendance:‬ 39344‎ Juventus success hard to repeat - Pirlo The Bianconeri ended the season by breaking yet another record and the veteran admits they have set a difficult bar to surpass in seasons to come. May 18, 2014 Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo says it will be difficult for the club to replicate their achievements this season after setting a new European points record on Sunday. The midfielder scored a free-kick as the Turin giants beat Cagliari 3-0 on Sunday to take their points tally for 2013-14 to 102. Juve were crowned champions for a third successive year several weeks ago and Pirlo admitted their success in recent years will be difficult to replicate. We wanted to win today to reach 100 points and we’ve done it. We’ve broken every record and we’re really happy to be celebrating," he told Sky Sport Italia. "Given Roma's strength, it’s been a difficult campaign, but we’ve picked up an awesome number of victories. "It’s been an extraordinary season, it will be tough for our record to be beaten. We broke all records and it will be hard to repeat this." However, speculation continues to surround the future of coach Antonio Conte after he revealed his willingness to discuss other 'projects' and Pirlo is keen to see the situation resolved sooner rather than later. "Conte deserves credit for a big part of our successes," Pirlo added. "I have never seen it before that the fans were chanting the coach's name. I hope his future will be resolved soon." http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 3 - 0 CAGLIARI Andrea Pirlo (8′) Fernando Llorente (15′) Claudio Marchisio (40′) May 18, 2014 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee:‬ Mauro Bergonzi Attendance:‬ 39344‎ Player Ratings Goal took in the action in Turin as the Bianconeri surpassed 100 points for the season with a routine victory on the final day of the Serie A campaign. May 18, 2014 Juventus Gianluigi Buffon - Made an excellent save on Pinilla and was subbed off to a standing ovation in the second half. Martín Cáceres - Did not have a whole lot to do at the back and pushed forward into the midfield lines for a lot of the game. Leonardo Bonucci - Defended well against the threat from the opposition, which was few and far between. Angelo Ogbonna - Shepherded the dangerous Ibarbo into harmless areas more than once in a solid display. Stephan Lichtsteiner - Motored up and down the right flank providing decent support. Paul Pogba - Provided good moments in both halves of the field, testing Silvestri more than once. Andrea Pirlo - Opened the scoring with a wonderful free kick and was composed on the ball throughout. Claudio Marchisio - Scored his side's third with a lovely piece of control and a sumptuous volleyed finish. Kwadwo Asamoah - Had quite a few accurate cracks at goal from long range, proving a real menace for the keeper in the first half. Carlos Tévez - Held the ball up well, but try as he might, he was often frustrated in his attempts to get a shot off. Fernando Llorente - Set up Marchisio's goal with a good piece of control after slotting in one himself from close range. Always a threat from the knockdown. Substitutions Rubinho - Solid in goal off the bench. Pablo Daniel Osvaldo - Did not have much of a chance to score. Cagliari Marco Silvestri - A string of fine saves kept the score down as he showed his athleticism. Davide Astori - Subbed off at the break after being torn left and right by the home side. Gabriele Perico - Could not handle Asamoah down the left hand side and was left struggling. Luca Rossettini - Did not fare a whole lot better than Astori in central defence, losing out in a few aerial battles. Danilo Avelar - Blocked Tevex once or twice, but was suspect positionally on more than one occasion. Daniele Conti - Did not have much of a say in the game through midfield as he was run off the park. Andrea Tabanelli - Hardly had a meaningful touch of the ball and was no match for his Juve counterparts. Daniele Dessena - Gave up possession regularly in a torrid game for him. Andrea Cossu - A few decent moments in the attacking third, including one where he held the ball up for a great Pinilla chance. Mauricio Pinilla - Had two decent openings, not least one in the first half where he was one on one with Buffon, but saw his shot saved. Víctor Ibarbo - His direct running caused a few problems early on, but he drifted to the periphery of proceedings as time wore on. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 3 - 0 CAGLIARI Andrea Pirlo (8′) Fernando Llorente (15′) Claudio Marchisio (40′) May 18, 2014 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee:‬ Mauro Bergonzi Attendance:‬ 39344‎ Juventus seal record European points haul May 18, 2014 Ivo Pulga said it would be difficult. Cagliari’s coach may have adopted a defeatist attitude coming into the game, but we cannot accuse him of not being a realist. Juventus, playing at home and desperate to break records, controlled the match and won 3-0 to kick-start the celebrations in Turin. Nineteen games played at home in the Juventus stadium, 19 games won with 106 goals scored over the course of the season; Antonio Conte has created a winning machine, and for that the fans are grateful. A record-breaking season, Juventus finished having amassed 102 points in the league, 17 points ahead of second-place Roma. It's the highest any team has managed in Europe’s top five leagues and certainly more than Inter’s 97 points -- the record the Nerazzurri broke in 2007. Playing in a stadium prepared to celebrate and with a coach applauding the fans that held "Con te" banners, a play on words that means "with you," Cagliari were always going to struggle. Defending poorly, it took the champions of Italy only eight minutes to break the deadlock and score when Andrea Pirlo delivered another one of his perfect free kicks that troubled Marco Silvestri. It was a day to celebrate the brilliance of the coach, the strength of the captain, Gianluigi Buffon, who pulled off some excellent saves, and the chemistry between the two forwards who helped turn this Bianconeri side into an efficient team. Conte’s squad was one that created but rarely finished well. With Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente up front, their ability to work well together, exploit space and hold the ball up has made all the difference this season. Eight shots on target, three goals scored. Overall, the Spaniard has managed 18 goals this season while Tevez has netted 20 times in all competitions. Their understanding continues to develop and today we saw the brilliant Llorente dummy, the layoffs and the perfect touches while the Argentine moved around to take up excellent positions. It’s a shame he took one too many touches, overcomplicating his chance for a goal, but his work off the ball, the constant running and the hard work has turned him into a Juve hero this season, one Conte is grateful to have. Yet while the forward line is remarkably better than it has been in previous years, it’s the midfield that continues to dazzle. Claudio Marchisio, with his excellent skill and breathtaking intelligence, scored the third, but it’s Paul Pogba who entertains the masses while Pirlo can always be relied upon for moments of magic, especially when offered the chance to take a free kick. The fluidity, the passing, the composure shown today is what makes this Italian side so exciting to watch. The way they rotate the ball, looking for the spaces to exploit, coupled with Cagliari’s inability to provide a stern test, allowed them the win, but let us not forget that winning mentality. While Roma stopped fighting once they realised certain targets were beyond them, the Old Lady continued chasing victories despite having secured the title. Nothing satisfies her appetite. Once the three goals were scored and the points secured, the party atmosphere took over in the stadium. The staff started to put on the T-shirts emblazoned with the figure "102" and the crowd chanted. Conte was overwhelmed with the show of support, the players each noting his excellence when talking to the media. He in turn thanked them for achieving this milestone. Juventus didn’t just win Serie A, they demolished it. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 3 - 0 CAGLIARI Andrea Pirlo (8′) Fernando Llorente (15′) Claudio Marchisio (40′) May 18, 2014 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee:‬ Mauro Bergonzi Attendance:‬ 39344‎ Juventus Complete 102-Point Season, Break European Record May 18, 2014 This was exactly the way a lot of us wanted Juventus to get to 102 points on the season — beating up the opposition. If it was over before halftime, it was over when the players entered the dressing room for their short break between halves. First Andrea Pirlo did Andrea Pirlo things from a free kick situation, then it was Fernando Llorente, and finally Claudio Marchisio scored one hell of a goal to put the game away before halftime even arrived. And with it, Juventus made some history. Not a surprise seeing as that seems like a staple of Antonio Conte's reign as Juve manager. Most points ever in a single season? Yeah, 102 points got them there. A perfect 19 for 19 on their home soil at Juventus Stadium? Done that, too. A season filled with plenty of history got the send off it deserved — a little bit more entered into the lengthy tradition of this great club we root for week after week, month after month. That's a pretty good reason why it was impossible for Andrea Agnelli and his new beard to wipe the smile off his face during the course of the 3-0 win. Hell, I'd have a hard time not smiling while being at the stadium in that kind of festive atmosphere. Turin had a reason to celebrate — and that's exactly what they did. I feel pretty safe in saying it was a thumbs-up-worthy season. And I'm glad Stephan agrees. Random thoughts and observations • I appreciate Cagliari completely forgetting how to defend. It made the game that much better. • Fernando Llorente's final stats for the 2013-14 season: 34 games (29 stats), 16 goals, five assists. I'd say that's a pretty good year for a guy who was basically strapped on the bench for the entire season 12 months ago. • It was impossible to go five minutes without the crowd singing something in appreciation of Antonio Conte. And it was just as impossible of Conte not to recognize it. The rumors will continue to swirl about Conte's future until something official actually does happen because that's what the Italian press is good at doing no matter what the truth is. But I pose this question: If you saw Conte celebrating on the sideline towards the end of the match, did that really look like a guy who is leaving the club in a short amount of time? Antonio Conte wanted to party just as much as anybody there. • Carlos Tévez didn't get the 20th league goal of the season that he so rightfully deserved, but I don't care. Being named Juve's Player of the Season was a great honor, and there really was nobody better than Carlitos this year. And unlike a lot of his teammates, he'll have a bunch of time this summer to rest up. Yeah, Tévez-related expectations are going to be high next season. There's no doubt about that. • More Juventus children. Bring them out all the time. • Better goal, Marchisio or Pirlo? As much as I love Pirlo's, the spin move from Principino is kinda pulling me in his direction. • Gigi Buffon gave Mauro Bergonzi a hug before he left the field in the second half. That's class. • Juventus won 3-0 and Simone Padoin didn't play a single minute. Who knew that was possible. • But guess who did play? Rubinho! And for the second straight season, he's the only Juventus goalkeeper to not allow a goal during his time on the field. Might be a small sample size, though. We'll investigate and get back to you. • Juventus finish the season 17 points ahead of second-place Roma. Remember about a month ago when people were saying the Scudetto race might be back on? Yeah, so much for that. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 3 - 0 CAGLIARI Andrea Pirlo (8′) Fernando Llorente (15′) Claudio Marchisio (40′) May 18, 2014 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee:‬ Mauro Bergonzi Attendance:‬ 39344‎ Record breaking Bianconeri sign off in style May 18, 2014 Juventus were 3-0 winners over Cagliari in Serie A on Sunday afternoon at the Juventus Stadium, in the final game of their title winning season. Goals from Andrea Pirlo, Fernando Llorente and Claudio Marchisio ensured the Old Lady secured all three points and reached the coveted 102 points record in Serie A. The hosts started the more brightly in the party atmosphere of the Juventus Stadium. Labouring on the ball, Carlos Tevez stole the ball off Davide Astori, but his strike was scooped up comfortably by Marco Silvestri. After eight minutes, the home side were ahead courtesy of more Andrea Pirlo magic. Luca Rossettini fouled Fernando Llorente on the edge of the area and the Italian international’s curling free kick clattered in off the crossbar after the initial save from Silvestri. After a quarter of an hour, Cagliari’s panicking defense was undone once again. The Sardinians failed to clear the ball from a corner and Llorente tapped home his 16th of the season. As Juventus began taking their foot off the gas, Cagliari sought to trouble Gianluigi Buffon at the other end. Daniele Dessena found himself all alone in the box and forced Buffon into making a quick reaction save. However the lapse in concentration was fleeting as Juventus continued to dominate the match. Just before half time, the downpour of goals resumed when Llorente flicked the ball up for Claudio Marchisio, who took it on the turn and blasted it past Silvestri on the half volley in spectacular fashion. Minutes later the overworked Cagliari goalkeeper got down brilliantly to parry away Kwadwo Asamoah’s fierce long shot before the whistle signaled half time. At the restart, Cagliari did their very best to get on the scoresheet, and thought they would be helped when Rubinho replaced Buffon at half time, but the Brazilian proved just as stubborn. Goal scorer Llorente also made way for Pablo Osvaldo, for what could be his last Juventus appearance. The Sardinians wanted desperately to halt the hosts flood of goals, and in fact succeeded in doing so, holding a contented Juventus team to the final whistle. Celebrations followed the final whistle as Juventus broke the points record in Serie A. Antonio Conte bows out the season in the best possible fashion, earning the club it’s third consecutive title with just two defeats all season. With speculation rife over the Italians future, it’s unclear where he will be next season, but for now he will be content in celebrating Juventus’ success. Ivo Pulga closes the season on a sour note with this the third consecutive defeat for his Cagliari team. President Massimo Cellino may not be the club’s owner the next time these two meet, but fans will feel it’s the right direction to be heading in. Daniele Conti’s future is similarly unclear ahead of what should be a routinely difficult transfer window for the Rossoblu. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Juventus crushed Cagliari 3-0 to set a new European record of 102 points with a 100 per cent home record. May 18, 2014 The Bianconeri had already shattered records this season for a third consecutive Scudetto, but had the opportunity to become the first side to go into triple figures. Giorgio Chiellini began his three-match suspension, while Arturo Vidal and Mirko Vucinic were injured. Cagliari were safely mid-table and missed Vlada Avramov, Eros Pisano, Matias Cabrera, Albin Ekdal, Nene, Matias Vecino and Nicola Murru. This game will be followed by the presentation of the Serie A trophy and an open top bus parade through the streets of Turin. The celebrations were already in full swing with the team photo including all their children before kick-off. Gigi Buffon even hugged referee Bergonzi, who is retiring after this match. However, Victor Ibarbo nearly ruined the festivities with an early counter-attack, his rising strike palmed away by Buffon after a Martin Caceres slip. Andrea Pirlo opened the scoring with one of his trademark free kicks, which Lorenzo Silvestri palmed on to the crossbar, but could do nothing as it ricocheted in off his shoulder. This could well be awarded as an own goal for the Cagliari ‘keeper, as a similar incident occurred for Luca Toni this month, but will only be made official on Monday. A Pirlo corner was flicked on by Leonardo Bonucci and the Cagliari defence failed to clear, so Fernando Llorente tapped in from six yards. Carlos Tevez should’ve made it 3-0 and a personal tally of 21 Serie A goals, but hesitated and allowed the defence to close him down. At the other end, Daniele Dessena was sent clear on goal by Andrea Cossu and kept out by a great Buffon reaction save from 10 yards. Tevez burst into the box and ran straight into the back of Danilo Avelar, while Kwadwo Asamoah’s screamer from distance was fingertipped out from under the bar. Llorente also had penalty appeals for a Rossettini tackle. Juventus did get their third with a spectacular goal from Claudio Marchisio. He gathered with back to goal, flicked it up on the spin to leave Dessena stranded and smashed his finish into the roof of the net. Silvestri performed a crucial save on Asamoah’s volley from the edge of the box, as it went through a sea of legs, including a Tevez dummy. At the dawn of the second half, the Curva Sud unveiled a huge banner with Conte’s face and the phrase: ‘Without you we won’t go far... Because you are the best and have Juve in your heart!!!’ However, soon after a smaller banner also appeared in the same area of the stadium reading ‘Speziale Libero.’ The Disciplinary Commission warned it will punish this slogan, which is calling for the release of a Catania ultra in prison for the murder of a police officer. The rest of the Juventus Stadium reacted strongly with jeers and insults at those who showed the banner. Agim Ibraimi attempted to cut the deficit for Cagliari, while Ibarbo volleyed just over from an Avelar free kick.

JUVENTUS 3 - 0 CAGLIARI Andrea Pirlo (8′) Fernando Llorente (15′) Claudio Marchisio (40′) May 18, 2014 - 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee:‬ Mauro Bergonzi Attendance:‬ 39344‎ Bianconeri smash 100-points barrier Antonio Conte guided his side to victory in their final Serie A game of the season and ended the campaign by setting a new record. May 18, 2014 Juventus ended the season with a Serie A record 102 points following a resounding 3-0 win over Cagliari in Turin. With a third successive title sealed weeks in advance of the season finale, Sunday's final match of 2013-14 was merely a procession amid a carnival atmosphere in Turin. From the moment Andrea Pirlo opened the scoring with a typically nonchalant free-kick after just eight minutes, Antonio Conte's side were in complete control. Fernando Llorente and Claudio Marchisio's strikes ensured Juve headed into the break 3-0 ahead - a lead they maintained with a controlled second-half showing. The upshot was Juve ending the season with a tally of 102 points, having amassed an incredible 33 wins from their 38 top-flight fixtures. For Cagliari, the result, although expected, added further frustration to an average year that has seen them finish in 15th place. The visitors started brightly as Victor Ibarbo's snap-shot from a tight angle forced a fine save from Gianluigi Buffon, who dived full-stretch to tip the ball around the post. Juve were quick to respond, though, with Pirlo finding space on the edge of the area before producing an uncharacteristically wild effort that flew over. Such a strike was in stark contrast to his next attempt, however. The veteran playmaker struck a sublime 25-yard free-kick that Marco Silvestri could only tip on to the underside of the bar, with the ball bouncing over the line before hitting the goalkeeper and rolling into the net. Suddenly, the hosts were rampant and it was not long before Llorente doubled their advantage, dispossessing Daniele Conti - who failed to clear his lines from a corner - and sliding home. Cagliari came back strongly and should have reduced the deficit when Daniele Dessena was denied by Buffon from point-blank range. The game took on an end-to-end nature thereafter as Kwadwo Asamoah's sizzling 35-yard strike forced a superb stop from Silvestri. The visiting keeper could do little shortly after, however, as Marchisio stunningly controlled a ball into his own path before unleashing a powerful volley that flew past the 23-year-old. Juventus operated with a more controlled approach after the interval, with Conte's confidence epitomised by the withdrawal of Buffon for reserve keeper Rubinho - who was given his first playing time of the season. The wonderful ovation afforded to Buffon almost made way for celebrations, too, as Paul Pogba's effort from distance tested Silvestri soon after. That was to prove the last real opening as Juve eased their way to the points after the outstanding Pirlo was taken off to rapturous applause from the gleeful crowd. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
