Turin: Defending champions Juventus are set to seal their 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 will take on AC Milan at Allianz Stadium on Saturday after their trip to Sardinia on Tuesday which ended in chaos as Kean and teammate Blaise Matuidi were subjected to monkey cries and racist chanting.
Now, 'The Old Lady' is expected to lift the title with seven games to spare, a record which is yet to be achieved by anyone in Italy.
The Turin based club now has a staggering 18-point lead over Napoli and won both their 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."

Juventus, boosted by the summer signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, had a superb campaign since they lost only one match in 30 games on March 17 against Genoa, when the former Real Madrid superstar was rested.
But Allegri's side is trying to keep the momentum they gained intact as they prepare for next week's Champions League quarter-final, first leg clash against Ajax in Amsterdam.
However, if they don't manage to seal the Serie A title on Sunday they will have a chance to do it following weekend with a win over SPAL.
