Juventus 102 Points

Champions Juventus became the first team to break the 100-points barrier in Serie A when they beat Cagliari 3-0 in their final league game of the season on Sunday.
It had already secured their third scudetto in a row but goals from Fernando Llorente, Claudio Marchisio and an own goal by Cagliari goalkeeper Marco Silvestri, from a stunning Andrea Pirlo free kick that hit the post and bounced in off Silvestri, ensured that Juve finished on a record 102 points.


Torino was in full party mood, fans were gathering around the center of the city, awaiting the arrival of theirs heros for the celebration.


 Railing along the bus stop at piazza Castello with flags, horns and Juventus's T shirt....


Waiting patiently with the statues at Piazza Castello.....


Standing high up on top of the roof of the bus stop waving their support for their beloved team...


 Along via Po until Piazza Vittorio, standing and sitting along the curbs waiting....


Youngs and olds, men and women, adults and childrens, fathers, mothers with their sons and daughters, expressing their die hard support for the team.

Indeed, is a joy to celebrate the victory of the local team, but somehow seeing mothers and fathers singing, screaming uncontrollably and hysterically in front of their children, still send me a chill....
No wonder why most of the Italian children want to be footballer when they grown up....

Excellent shots. Admittedly, the appeal of the game perplexes me.
