Roma head coach Rudi Garcia conceded that Juventus have realistically won this season's Italian Serie A title following his side's 0-1 loss to Napoli.

As Juventus beat Fiorentina 1-0 Sunday, the gap between the Serie A leaders and Garcia's side has been widened to 14 points, too much to overcome according to the French tactician, reports Xinhua.

"Mathematically the Scudetto race isn't over but realistically it is. There's a huge gap now and we have to win our next home game, hoping some players return from injury," he said.

Juventus head coach Antonio Conte said his side are "50 percent champions of Italy".

 

"There are still 11 rounds to go but we are 50 percent champions of Italy. We're going at an extraordinary pace but they're not letting up behind us either," he said.
