Juventus vs. Sampdoria: Padoin sends out warning as champion closes stunning campaign

Simone Padoin says Juventus will continue to strive for Serie A dominance as it prepares to finish its campaign against Sampdoria.

Juventus forward Simone Padoin has fired a warning to its rivals as the title-winning side brings its Serie A season to an end against Sampdoria on Saturday.

The Old Lady clinched a fifth successive Scudetto after a remarkable run in which it won 25 out of 26 matches, a sequence which ended with a 2-1 reverse to relegated Verona last week.

A win in the Coppa Italia final against AC Milan next week would give Juve a domestic double for the second year running, while it has already begun to lay the groundwork for next season, with head coach Massimiliano Allegri and veterans Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Barzagli all signing new contracts.
