ROSSONERE DEFEATED, JUVENTUS CHAMPIONS OF ITALY
Women
Juventus v AC Milan finished with a win for the Bianconere, who have mathematically won the 2024/25 Scudetto with games to spare. It's a season which ends with the title for Corti's side, ending Roma's two-year reign at the top, without needing to wait for the outcome for Inter v Roma. AC Milan came into the match following five games unbeaten in the Championship Round (three draws and two wins), and showed great personality, team spirit and defensive solidity, especially in the first half. Despite the loss, it was another sign of the strong finish from Coach Bakker's side.
In the first 45 minutes, AC Milan managed to go head-to-head with the leaders, defending with great compactness and creating dangerous chances. The generous penalty given to the home side swayed the balance of a match, which was balanced until that moment. In the second half, Juve scored a second right away and then managed to manage their lead for the remaining time. The Rossonere remained in the match with concentration and dignity, proving to be precise in their identity at the start of the second half when the opponents raised the tempo. Congratulations to Juventus for their sixth Scudetto, now it's time to focus on the derby against Inter in the penultimate game of the season.
