Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini enjoyed a swipe at Napoli fans after being confirmed title winners.

Sunday's 0-0 draw with Roma saw Juve confirmed as champions for another season.

Chiellini beamed: “We feared losing it in Milan, in the second half, but all those who criticised us were really just firing us up. They shouldn't try to hurt our pride. That's like a precious serum for us.

“Too many people lacked respect, now we can get a few things off our chest. We are the best. In life you need to show respect and they celebrated too early. And at the end of the day, we're always the ones celebrating.

“Juventus lose Finals because we play Finals, whereas others choose to go out in the Round of 16 or the quarters. Every now and then it's only right to make things clear."

He added: “We are writing pages in the history books that can never be repeated. We must thank those who motivate us continually, as every year we want to keep winning.

“We might be hard to kill, ugly, old, whatever, but we still always win. We've achieved something incredible."
