Juventus, demoted from Italy’s top flight last year because of a match-fixing scandal, was promoted back to Serie A yesterday with three games to spare after a 5-1 victory at Arezzo. Juventus tops the Serie B standings with 82 points.
Alessandro Del Piero netted his 19th and 20th goals of the season and Giorgio Chiellini also scored twice to defeat struggling Arezzo.
Juventus’ return to Serie A came despite a 9-point deduction linked to the match-fixing verdict, which came after its former general manager Luciano Moggi was found guilty of improperly securing favorable referees. Second-placed Genoa’s hopes of automatic promotion took a slight setback after a 2-2 draw at Bari, while Napoli, in third, tied Modena, 1-1. (REUTERS)
My comment:
Regardless whether the match-fixing scandal is true or not, and whether it's fair for Juventus to receive such a punishment, Juventus has proven themselves to be outstanding. Winner is always winner no matter what. And serie A, here we come.. Inter, Milan, Roma, see you very soon! :)
Alessandro Del Piero, the man!
