BARZAGLI
“It’s been a wonderful journey and there’s been so much to shout about. We’ve worked very hard, but we’re here celebrating another Scudetto after a period in which we’ve shown a great mentality. Now let’s prepare for the final in Cardiff – I know we won’t be lacking in motivation. We’ll push hard to make sure we’re up to the task because this is something we’ve been after for years. In terms of the league, if I had to pick out one decisive element, I’d say it’s been the contribution of the new players.”

“We’ve gone down in the history of this club by winning today. This is a fantastic day – it’s a great feeling. It’s an amazing time because we’ve won two trophies already and we have the Champions League final to come. We’ve dominated the league this season and deserved to win the Scudetto seeing as we didn’t have any bad spells. We love this playing system because there are lots of attacking players. The crucial game? I’ll go with today: when Alex Sandro scored the third, we realised that we’d really done it!”
PJANIC
“The Scudetto caps off a year’s worth of work. We’ve put the hard yards in and worked tirelessly. When I came here, the president told me that he wanted to win the Scudetto and that’s what we’ve done. We’ve made history. It’s been a great season. In terms of my own performances and the goals I’ve scored, I have lots of fond memories – especially my first goal and the one I scored in the derby.”
BUFFON
“We’ve been magnificent. That’s the only word I can think of. Apart from the first title, when we were a surprise package, we’ve been favourites on paper every time and deservedly so. It takes sacrifice to keep winning for so many years – you work hard and you get better. Now we need to start to think about Real Madrid, but I’m satisfied because after our off day against Roma and the elation of the Coppa Italia, we needed to show the kind of focus we did today.”
