Juventus matched Internazionale's record of five consecutive Serie A titles since the turn of the century by winning their 32nd Serie A title in 2015-16.

The Bianconeri finished 9 points clear of second placed Napoli. During the season Juventus' keeper Gianluigi Buffon created a new record for most consecutive minutes without conceding (974) en route to tying his own mark of 21 for most clean sheets during a Serie A season.

#6 Sixth Title (2016-17)

In the highest ever signing by an Italian club (third highest in the world at the time), Juventus shelled out 90 million euros to SSC Napoli to acquire the services of the Southern club's prolific marksman Gonzalo Higuain. Higuain had set the record for most goals in a season (36) in the previous season.

In a close title race, the Bianconeri matched their previous season's points tally of 91 to finish four points ahead of AS Roma. The triumph was Juventus' sixth straight Italian top flight title and 33rd overall.
