Major records broken in Europe this season

#4 Juventus equal Lyon’s record of winning 7 consecutive league titles

Juve, the dominant force

This was perhaps the toughest and most fiercely contested race in the Serie A in the last decade. Napoli came within inches of a historic triumph, but a late implosion meant Juventus continued to hegemonize the league.

The Bianconeris picked up an unprecedented 7th straight Scudetto, and in the process, also drew level with Lyon, who until then, held the record for 7 consecutive league titles outright.

The Ligue 1 outfit are no longer the force they once used to be, but the turn of the millenium witnessed an epoch of dominance by the Gones. From 2001 to 2008, they were crowned the undisputed French champions, setting the record for the longest league triumphs on the bounce. It was something many presumed unassailable, but Juventus have drawn parity with their latest title.

The gulf in quality and squad depth between them and the chasing pack holds them in a good stead to pick a record-setting 8th next year.
