Juventus beat Atalanta 3-1 in their final league game of the season to record only the third ever unbeaten campaign in Serie A history.

Goals from Luca Marrone, departing club captain Alessandro Del Piero and Andrea Barzagli defeated Stefano Colantuono's side and saw the Bianconeri record their 38th game this term without defeat. They become the first team to complete the season unbeaten in a 20-team Serie A, with Perugia chalking up the first such record in a 30-game campaign in 1978-79 and AC Milan's 1991-92 achievement coming over 34 matches.

Juve have won 23 and drawn 15 of their 38 games this term, and including their 2-2 draw against Napoli on the final day of last season, they are now unbeaten in 39 matches stretching back to a 1-0 defeat at Parma on May 15, 2011.

Antonio Conte is yet to preside over a loss since taking over as Juventus coach last May, with a 2-1 defeat to Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg their only loss over 90 minutes, and even then a 2-2 draw after extra-time saw them progress to next week's final against Napoli in Rome.

The departing Del Piero was given a fantastic ovation when he was substituted in the 57th minute, spending several minutes taking the fans' applause as he made a lap of honour with the gap still being played.
