Resilience, luck and cunning see Juventus to another title


MILAN (Reuters) - Juventus' seventh successive Serie A title was not as emphatic as some of their previous campaigns and it took a mixture of luck, cunning and sheer bloody-mindedness to see them through as they were pushed all the way by a gallant Napoli.

There was plenty of suffering along the way but they always seemed to muddle through -- whether it was with a contentious penalty at bottom club Benevento, a stoppage-time winner at Lazio or two goals in the last five minutes to beat Inter Milan.
