Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri was full of pride after their Scudetto triumph was confirmed with victory over Sampdoria.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored and missed a penalty, while Federico Bernardeschi also struck for the 2-0 win.

Juventus have become the first club in Europe's top five leagues to manage nine consecutive titles.

Sarri said, “Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala make the difference on the field, so clearly they deserve a lot of credit, but the club behind them is every bit as important. We have a President and directors who attend training every day, are there to exchange ideas, see if you need anything and put petrol in the tank of this team. The club is a big part of why they were able to win for so many years. They back you even when you lose.

“In terms of organization, Juventus are at the top of European football. I could not have asked for anything more. Obviously, it takes a while to settle in, understand the approach, the way things work here, then after a while you can start trying to tweak a few things.

“You can't just walk straight into a club that has won for eight years in a row and immediately try to order changes. That wouldn't be very intelligent."

Sarri was brought in to replace Max Allegri in order to make the Bianconeri play better football, particularly with their forwards.

“There were tactical difficulties, trying to get all these very strong players and their various characteristics to work together. That was not something to be taken for granted, as we saw in previous years, because Dybala and Ronaldo didn't really start together very often.

“They are world class, but it's not easy to get them to work together with their characteristics. With a lot of work, I think we managed it."
