Juventus 2 Sampdoria 0: Cristiano Ronaldo seals Juve’s Serie A title but slips up in Golden Boot race with penalty miss

MAURIZIO SARRI led the wild celebrations after Juventus were crowned Serie A champions for a ninth consecutive time.

The ex-Chelsea chief, 61, is the oldest manager ever to win the Italian top-flight and enjoyed some Champers and a fag.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring seven minutes into added time before the break.

Barcelona-bound Miralem Pjanic provided the assist from a free-kick, as he drilled the ball across to Ronaldo.

The Portuguese skipper cooly slotted home from just inside the box.

It took his goal tally to 35 this season after 44 games, with 31 coming in the league.

Striker Federico Bernardeschi then sealed the points on 67 minutes.

Ronaldo had the chance to grab his second after a penalty was awarded on the 89th minute, but his riffled effort smashed off the crossbar.

Maurizio Sarri wins only his second piece of silverware as a manger, having lifted the Europa League with Chelsea last year.

But the triumph in his first season back in Italy sees Sarri become a league champion for the first time.

Juve saw off competition from Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan to seal the title with two games remaining.

They will lift the trophy against Roma at home next Sunday.

Despite securing the Serie A title, the Golden Boot race will come down to the wire.

Lazio’s Ciro Immobile currently leads the way on 34.
