Hello my friends. Here are the results of the Serie A Week 38 – Thirty-eighth Round on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 May 2016. This is the last round of the 2015 – 2016 Serie A season.
Summarizing. Juventus won the Scudetto, the 5th consecutive. Juventus and Napoli secured their direct participation in the 2015 – 2016 UEFA Champions League by ending the season in 1st and 2nd place, respectively.

Juventus crowned as Italy’s Champions and celebrated in grand style by delighting their fans at the Juventus Stadium. Juventus 5 – 0 Sampdoria.
As for the Europa League, Inter and Fiorentina securing their direct participation in the Europa League next season ending in 4th and 5th place. Sassuolo with a historical qualification for the Europa League Playoff. It is the first time that Sassuolo will be in a European competition. A big failure here is for AC Milan who were looking to defeat AS Roma and hoping for Sassuolo to match the game against Inter. Well, total blow for AC Milan. Sassuolo defeated Inter and kept the 6th position. Sassuolo 3 – 1 Inter
AC Milan lost the home game at the San Siro Stadium showing a poor performance. Roma dominated the match showing better determination. Sad news is that iconic AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati could not even play his last game after announcing he was retiring. Abbiati was listed among the subs. AC Milan 1 – 3 AS Roma

A great day for Juventus crowned as Italy’s Champions after winning the 2015-2016 Serie A Scudetto. Definitely, Juventus ending the season in grand style by crushing Sampdoria at the Juventus Stadium confirming their dominion.

It’s Juventus to delight the fans by opening the score in the 5th minute. Yep. It’s midfielder Patrice Evra to defeat Sampdoria goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli with a headed shot in the top right corner.

Oops…. things not working out for Sampdoria. Bad news as Referee Gavillucci gives a penalty to Juventus in the 14th minute conceded by Sampdoria defender Milan Skriniar after a foul on Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic inside the penalty area. It’s forward Paulo Dybala to convert the penalty with a left footed shot in the bottom left corner. Tough situation…. Sampdora remaining with 10 players because Skriniar got the red card.

Chaos for Sampdoria! Juventus are practically crushing Sampdoria. The third goal arriving in the 37th minute. A powerful goal by Paulo Dybala forcing goalkeeper Brignoli to a super stretch, yet, not making it to save and there it is the goooooallllll.
Curtain call…. Sampdoria succumbing….. Juventus scoring the 4th goal of the match in the 77th minute following a corner conceded by Sampdoria defender Matías Silvestre. It’s defender Giorgio Chiellini to smack a left footed shot in the top left corner while the fans just going wild and the party is on…. total dominion by Juventus.
