Juventus celebrate their 34th Serie A title in 2017-18

In another close title race for the second successive season, Juventus scored 95 points to pip second placed SSC Napoli by 4 points and win their seventh straight Serie A title and 34th overall.

Juventus players scored 5 of the 16 hat-tricks registered during the season, with Paulo Dybala contributing three and the duo of Sami Khedira and Gonzalo Higuain scoring one apiece.

After 17 straight seasons playing for the club, Juventus' legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon left the Bianconeri at the end of the season to join Ligue 1 club Paris St. Germain.

#8 Eighth Title (2018-19)

Juventus celebrate their 35th Serie A title in 2018-19

For the second time in three years, Juventus broke the transfer record for a Serie A club by acquiring Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid for 100 million euros.

The prolific Portuguese marksman took a while to get going before registering 21 goals in his debut Serie A season. Juventus finished 11 points clear of SSC Napoli to win an eighth straight Scudetto and a record-extending 35th overall.

During the season, Ronaldo scored in a 3-0 away win at Empoli to equal the record of scoring in the highest number of consecutive away games (9) in the Serie A.

Ronaldo scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win away at city rivals Torino as Juventus became the first Serie A club to score 5000 goals.
