JUVENTUS virtually secured its 29th Serie A title on Sunday with a 1-0 win over AC Milan, denting a blow to its Champions League chances.
A second-half Arturo Vidal penalty settled what was a less-than-inspiring performance from both sides and left the champion requiring just four points from its remaining five games to defend the Scudetto.
Juventus, however, could wrap up the title next week if it beats Torino at home and Napoli loses away to bottom side Pescara.
Juventus' 24th win of the campaign restored its 11-point lead on Napoli, which beat Cagliari 3-2 earlier on Sunday.
Milan remains third but is now seven points behind Napoli and, arguably more importantly, is just one point ahead of Fiorentina, which has ambitions to snatch the third and final Champions League spot.
"We didn't give away much in the match but we were lacking in the final 16 meters (of the pitch)," said Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri, who appeared to concede second place to Napoli.
"Now we have do as much as we can in our final five games to keep our pursuers at bay."
