Moratti: 'Juve must accept verdict'
By Football Italia staff
Former Inter President Massimo Moratti said “Juventus fans have to accept” the final verdict that the 2005-06 Scudetto belongs to the Nerazzurri.
Both the 2004-05 and 2005-06 Serie A titles were stripped from Juve as part of the Calciopoli scandal in the summer of 2006.
While the 2004-05 edition went down as ‘unassigned’, the 2005-06 Scudetto was handed over to Inter, who finished third that season behind Milan (also penalised in the Calciopoli trial).
Juve have been waging a legal battle for years to have the 2005-06 title either given back to them or also marked down as neutral rather than have it included on the shelf of their rivals, but lost the final appeal today.
“It’s all normal, a consequence of what happened,” Moratti told news agency Ansa.
“In any case, that’s good, it has always been a guaranteed Scudetto. Now the Juventus fans have to accept it too.
“I was sure that would’ve been the case anyway. I’ve always been friends with (Juventus President Andrea) Agnelli, let’s just say that nowadays that affection is a little more public than it was…”
Agnelli: 'Inter and Napoli must accept verdict'

Juventus President Andrea Agnelli said “Inter and Napoli fans have to accept” the final verdict that the last seven Scudetti belong to the Bianconeri.
Both the 2016-17 and 2017-18- Serie A winter championships were stripped from Inter and Napoli as Juve ruthlessly crushed the rest of Italy.
While the 2016-17 winter championship was won by Juve, Inter say they lay claim to the honesty Scudetto from that season. The 2017-18 winter Scudetto was handed over to Napoli, but they finished second that season after losing the title race in a hotel room in Florence.
Inter and Napoli have been waging a moral battle for years to have the two titles either given back to them or also marked down as neutral rather than have it included on the shelf of their rivals, but lost the final appeal today.
“It’s all normal, a consequence of what happened,” Agnelli told news agency Ansa.
“In any case, that’s good, they’ve always been guaranteed Scudetti. Now the Inter and Napoli fans have to accept it too.
“I was sure that would’ve been the case anyway. I’ve always been friends with (Ex Inter President Massimo) Moratti, let’s just say that nowadays that affection is a little more public than it was…”
