AC Milan wins Serie A title


JOY OF SUCCESS:AC Milan players celebrate after winning their 18th Serie A title,
following a goalless draw at Roma on Saturday.

ROME: AC Milan claimed its 18th Serie A title following a 0-0 draw at Roma on Saturday that gave it an unassailable lead at the top of the table with two games to go.

Milan came into the game knowing it needed only a draw to be sure of winning the Scudetto crown and it never looked in danger of failing to do so.

The draw pushed its lead over second-placed Inter Milan, which still has three to play, to nine points but with a better head-to-head record, the Rossoneri cannot now be overtaken.
