Milan Champions of Italy

Milan arrived in Rome tonight needing a point and that's exactly what they got as they played out a 0-0 draw in this tight, tense and emotional affair. Milan embodied all their defensive quality in this match up as Abbiati, Nesta and Silva shut down everything Roma had to offer as they themselves almost took the three points with a superb Robinho effort that cannoned off the post just after half time. Ibrahimovic returned, and played his part in holding up the ball and could have had a penalty, perhaps should have had a penalty when Doni brought him down when through on goal. It was not given, but in the end it mattered not as they got what they needed to win their 18th Scudetto, taking them level with Inter who also have been Italian Champions 18 times.

Both Milan giants still sit someway behind Juve's huge 27 title wins, and with their new stadium ready for next season they will also look to get back in on the act as well. But this is Milan, and Allegri's night, and credit must go to the coach for turning them into a defensive rock rather than a porous sponge that was so often the case under Leonardo.Congratulations Milan.

Elsewhere, both Atalanta and Siena returned to Serie A today after securing promotion from Serie B. They'll be lots of wine drunk in Italy tonight.
