TURIN, Italy: Juventus overcame their European blues when they fought back to beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home on Saturday and claim the Serie A title for a remarkable eighth season in a row.
Juve's 28th win in 33 league games this season left them with 87 points, 20 more than second-placed Napoli who have six games to play.

The Turin side appeared to be suffering the after-effects of Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat by Ajax, when they were outclassed by the Dutch side, in the opening half hour.Fiorentina were without a win in their previous eight Serie A lead games but Milenkovic put them ahead, firing into the roof of the net from close range after goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny diverted Chiesa's cross into his path.
