Turin, Italy - Newly-crowned Italian champions Juventus were still refusing to talk to the media on Saturday despite winning the league title 24 hours earlier.
Juventus won the Serie A championship without kicking a ball on Friday evening when their closest challengers AC Milan were held to a 3-3 draw at home to Palermo.
The Juventus players did not come together for a Scudetto party and instead were spread around the city.
Juve's Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic spent the evening watching the Milan game with team-mate Stephen Appiah before driving into town to soak up the atmosphere.
