Juventus 3-0 Cagliari: The Old Lady celebrates a record.

May 19, 2014 09:00

Before the match, Cagliari coach Ivo Pulga frankly stated that his team had no weapons whatsoever to stop Juventus. The reality on the pitch quickly unfolded exactly as predicted, with Cagliari almost deliberately "lying low" to allow Juve to easily secure the victory.

Juve trở thành đội đầu tiên trong lịch sử Serie A cán mốc 100 điểm/mùa
Juve became the first team in Serie A history to reach 100 points in a single season.

Andrea Pirlo's exquisite free-kick, Fernando Llorente's simple close-range finish, and Claudio Marchisio's spontaneous piece of ball control and shot sealed the fate of the match in the first half. All three goals came from the visitors' careless defense…

In the second half, Juve maintained moderate pressure, but Cagliari completely stopped playing football, as if to show… respect for the newly crowned champions. The 3-0 score remained unchanged until the end of the match.

With this victory, Juve simultaneously achieved three proud milestones. First, they are the first team in Serie A history to reach 100 points in a season (102 points). Second, Juve is also the only team in history to date to achieve a 100% home win rate (19/19 matches).

And third, with three goals against Cagliari, the Old Lady equaled Milan's record of 106 goals in official matches in the 1992/93 season, a record for an Italian team.

Winning 3-0 at home to achieve three impressive milestones simultaneously, Juventus can be considered to have concluded the season in a perfect way!

GENOA - ROMA: 1-0: Roma miss the chance to make history.

While Juventus concluded the season on a high note, Roma suffered a major disappointment with a 0-1 defeat to Genoa last night, extending their losing streak to three consecutive losses. What disappointed Roma fans even more was their failure to become the best runner-up in history. With 85 points, Roma still fall short of Inter's record for runners-up in the 1950/51 season (86 points, if calculated based on 3 points per win).
