Juventus poised to win eighth straight Serie A title in record time

Champions Juventus turn their focus to nailing down an eighth consecutive Serie A title in record time this weekend, days after a row erupted over racist abuse aimed at starlet Moise Kean in Cagliari.

Massimiliano Allegri's side return to their home comforts of the Allianz Stadium in Turin to host AC Milan after their trip to Sardinia on Tuesday ended amid scenes of chaos as Kean and teammate Blaise Matuidi were subjected to monkey cries and racist chanting.

Juventus could win the league title with seven games to spare -- the earliest any team has ever sealed Serie A -- if they beat AC Milan and nearest challengers Napoli lose at home to Genoa.

The Turin giants have an 18-point advantage on Napoli and have won both their direct clashes with Carlo Ancelotti's side this season.

"The eighth consecutive championship is in the 'loading phase'," said Juve captain Giorgio Chiellini.

"Right now, the 'uploading' is getting closer to completion. These will be two very important weeks for us."
