Cristiano Ronaldo says he is ‘proud’ and will be staying at Juventus ‘1000 per cent’ after the club won an eighth consecutive Serie A title.
Juve failed to clinch the title last weekend but got over the line on Saturday with a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side fell behind to Nikola Milenkovic’s early opener but equalised shortly before half-time through Alex Sandro.
The home side sealed victory after the break when Fiorentina’s German Pezzella flicked Ronaldo’s cross into the back of his own net.
Juventus’ league title means Ronaldo, who signed from Real Madrid last summer, has become the first player to win domestic titles in England, Spain and Italy.
Speaking after the title-sealing victory, Ronaldo said: ‘I’m really happy that I have won the Italian title in my first season.
‘Of course, it did not go well in the Champions League, but there is always next year.’
On his Instagram page, the Portugal forward added: ‘Champions of Italy!
