Victory over Sampdoria on Sunday confirmed Juve as champions this season.

And Elkann enthused: "In these years there have been three very different coaches, but Juventus managed to win even though the bar has risen more and more.

"It was a championship complicated by the consequences of Covid-19: the interruption, the recovery. The traditional opponents and the surprises of teams like Lazio and Atalanta who proved to be opponents tough and fast.

"But Juve never lost control and confirmed its solidity. In the long run the winning culture came out. And what has happened in the last 10 years under Andrea's leadership is unprecedented."
