Victory in the 2019/20 season was not only their ninth successive Serie A title, but their 36th title overall in the Italian top-flight. The next best is AC Milan and Inter Milan, both with 18 titles. This was coach Maurizio Sarri’s first Scudetto (name of the Serie A title), who has previously managed other clubs (Empoli and Napoli) in the top-flight of Italian football. Sarri’s smiles, however, were shortlived as he was sacked a week after the season ended when Juve were knocked out of the Champions League.
Numbers that speak for themselves…
3000 – On Thursday, July 23, 2020, Juventus played a Serie A match against Udinese. Even though they lost that match 2-1, it marked the 3000-day milestone with the Serie A winners shield on their chest. The country continues…
300 – On Wednesday, July 15, 2020, Juventus played out a 3-3 Serie A draw against Sassuolo. That marked their celebration of 300 consecutive matches as the champions of Italy.
61 – When Juventus mathematically sealed the title on Sunday, July 26, 2020, with a 2-0 win over Sampdoria, their coach Sarri was 61 years and 198 days old. That makes him the oldest manager ever to win the Serie A.
61 – Ronaldo went past the 50 Serie A goals mark this season, taking 61 games to reach the milestone. That makes him the quickest ever to reach the feat (in terms of appearances), among those who played in the tree points (for a win) era, which is from 1994/95. In the process, he also became the first player ever to score 50 or more goals in the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and the Italian Serie A.
31 – Ronaldo finished the Serie A season with 31 goals, becoming just the third player in the club’s history to reach 30 goals in the league. Felice Borel (32 in 1933/34) and John Hansen (30 in 1951/52) are the only other players to do it for Juventus.
