Juventus Possible Starting Lineup: Gianluigi Buffon, Stefan Lichsteiner, Mehdi Benatia, Andrea Barzagli, Alex Sandro, Miralem Pjanic, Douglas Costa, Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, Gonzalo Higuain.

Verona Possible Starting Lineup: Nicolas, Alex Ferrari, Jagos Vukovic, Antonio Caracciolo, Samuel Souprayen, Romulo, Marco Fossati, Franco Zuculini, Alessio Cerci, Bruno Petkovic, Mohamed Fares.

“I think this is the best Scudetto of the lot, together with the first one. We’re back here celebrating again and we’ll savor this success, but I think we perhaps don’t fully realize what we’ve achieved. Maybe people will only truly recognize this achievement for what it is in a few years’ time.”
