Del Piero and Inzaghi bow out with goals

Udinese clinched a place in the play-off round of next season's Champions League qualifying tournament by winning 2-0 at Catania to finish third, leaving Lazio, Napoli and Inter Milan to contemplate the Europa League.

Antonio Di Natale, included in Italy's provisional squad for Euro 2012, opened the scoring for Udinese with his 23rd league goal of the season.

Juventus became only the second team to win Serie A without losing a game after Fabio Capello's AC Milan in 1991/92 and the first to achieve the feat in a 38-match season.

An own goal by Stephan Lichtsteiner put a slight dampener on Juve's celebrations in the 83rd minute before defender Andrea Barzagli converted a stoppage-time penalty.

"We've had a fantastic championship season, crowning it with the Scudetto and a record which will go down in history," said Juventus coach Antonio Conte. "Others can only try and equal our feat."

Club president Andrea Agnelli said last year that Del Piero's contract would not be renewed when it expires at the end of the season and seems unlikely to backtrack.

"We all felt emotional. Alex is a great champion and will be forever remembered as an indelible part of Juve's history," added Conte. "I'm moved for him and honouring everything with the Scudetto is extraordinary."

GATTUSO'S TEARS

Midfielder Mathieu Flamini equalised in the 56th minute before Inzaghi, who came on midway through the second half, grabbed the winner in the 82nd minute, firing in a half-volley from Clarence Seedorf's pass.

Juventus finished with 84 points, four ahead of Milan, with the two teams taking Italy's places in the group stage of the Champions League next season.
