FOOTBALL : Juventus react as Inter Milan wins Serie A title

 

Juventus are the first Italian club to congratulate Inter Milan on winning the Serie A title.

The Bianconeri had won the previous nine domestic Serie A titles in a row and missed out on the tenth with manager, Andrea Pirlo, in the dug-out.

“Well done to Inter on winning the 2020-21 Serie A title,” Juventus wrote on Twitter on Sunday as they face Udinese.

Inter Milan clinched their first Serie A title in 11 years, ending Juventus’ nine-year dominance as Italian champions.

Antonio Conte’s men put one hand on the trophy with a 2-0 victory against Crotone on Saturday, but Atalanta’s 1-1 draw against Sassuolo on Sunday ensured the Serie A leaders retained an unassailable 13-point cushion with four games to spare.

Goals from Christian Eriksen and Achraf Hakimi gave Inter Milan all three points against Crotone.
