Turin, Italy: Juventus’ women’s team made it a double title celebration for the Turin giants by winning the Serie A crown in their first season. After 120 years of having men’s teams, the club — also known as The Old Lady of Turin — had fielded an elite women’s team this season. Rita Guarino’s side beat Brescia 5-4 on penalties in the Italian league play-off on Sunday night after the match ended goalless after extra-time. “Now we really enter the history of this club!,” said 29-year-old defender Sara Gama, who arrived from two-time champions Brescia this season. The team will play their first Champions League campaign next season, after ensuring European qualification back in March. Juventus men’s team won a seventh straight Serie A title this season, the 34th in their history.
