Juventus ‘ lucky’ to win Serie A—Maradona

As Juventus celebrate a fifth consecutive Serie A title, outspoken former Napoli star Diego Maradona claimed the Turin giants were “extremely lucky” to win the Scudetto this season. Juventus claimed another league crown without kicking a ball after second-placed Napoli lost 1-0 to Roma on Monday. That result left Juve with an unassailable 12-point lead with three matches remaining, but Maradona – who guided the Naples outfit to Scudettos in 1987 and 1990 – did not congratulate Juve, instead he claimed Napoli played better football this season, while questioning the integrity of referees in Serie A.
