AC Milan sealed their first scudetto in seven years with a 0-0 draw at AS Roma, making second-placed Inter Milan's 3-1 win over Fiorentina academic.

Napoli, in third, surprisingly lost 2-1 at struggling Lecce and Antonio Di Natale scored twice as Udinese beat rivals Lazio 2-1 to take the initiative in the fourth and final Champions League qualifying spot.

Brescia joined Bari in being relegated after a 2-1 home defeat by Catania.

Former European Cup finalists Sampdoria, fourth in Serie A last term, slipped to third-bottom and are in serious danger of relegation after a 2-1 defeat by Genoa in the city derby.
