Juventus’s women wrapped up their second title in two years on Saturday as Eni Aluko’s goal helped them to a 3-0 win against Verona, just hours before the men's team locked down their own crown.
The former England striker grabbed her team’s third goal following earlier strikes from Petronella Ekroth and Cristiana Grielli.
It came just hours before the club clinched its second league title of the day, as an Alex Sandro header and a Germán Pezzella own goal led the men's team to a 2-1 comeback victory against Fiorentina.
It marked a moment of catharsis for the club, coming as it did only four days after Max Allegri’s side were sensationally dumped out of the Champions League by Ajax.
The women’s side, managed by Andrea Agnelli, were competing in just their second season of senior football, having only graduated from playing in the youth leagues at the start of the 2017/18 season.
