Gigi Buffon hailed Juventus' mentality after lifting a fourth consecutive Scudetto. Victory over Sampdoria saw Juve crowned champions.

"The older you get, the more gratifying the titles are. After all, they could be the last!" joked the captain on Sky Sport Italia.

"This Scudetto has a special flavour for me and shows the spirit of sacrifice, the hunger and ambition of a group that in my view has no equal.

"When the Coach changed many - including us! - wondered what effect it would have, but we banded together.

"When you believe or even know that you are the strongest team, it's important to beat potential apathy or complacency. A series of victories are great, but every now and then we need a slap to wake us up."
