The victory in Biella on Friday evening not only secured three points but also ensured Juve were mathematically uncatchable, claiming the championship with two games still to play. It marks the sixth league title for Juventus in the last eight years, reinforcing their dominance in Italian women’s football. The hero of the evening was veteran forward Cristiana Girelli, who struck in both halves to complete a memorable brace and seal the title.

The Serie A title represents the first top-flight trophy of Lehmann's professional career, a milestone she has been chasing since her early days in English football. Previously, her closest brush with silverware came during the 2018-19 FA Cup campaign when West Ham finished runners-up.

WHAT NEXT FOR LEHMANN?
Although Juventus have now wrapped up the league title, their season isn’t over just yet. The Bianconeri are set to face Fiorentina next Saturday in a Serie A match that, while now irrelevant in terms of standings, could serve as a warm-up for a more significant fixture on the horizon. On May 17, Juventus will meet Roma in the final of the Italian Women’s Cup, offering Lehmann and her team-mates the chance to cap off an already remarkable season with a domestic double.
