Former defender Ivan Cordoba insists Inter have five-consecutive Scudetti too, despite one being awarded after Calciopoli.

Juventus sealed a fifth Serie A title in a row yesterday, matching their own achievement from the 1930s, as well as Il Grande Torino and the Nerazzurri.

However, while the Beneamata have officially won five-in-a-row, the first remains controversial, as it was stripped from Juve and awarded to Inter, who had finished 15 points back in third.

Former defender Ivan Cordoba insists Inter have five-consecutive Scudetti too, despite one being awarded after Calciopoli.

Juventus sealed a fifth Serie A title in a row yesterday, matching their own achievement from the 1930s, as well as Il Grande Torino and the Nerazzurri.

However, while the Beneamata have officially won five-in-a-row, the first remains controversial, as it was stripped from Juve and awarded to Inter, who had finished 15 points back in third.

In 2011, federal prosecutor Stefano Palazzi accused Inter’s Giacinto Facchetti of attempting to influence referee selection, but no trial could be brought as the statute of limitations had expired.

When Luciano Moggi accused Facchetti of the same crimes he had been punished for, a judge ruled that his allegations “contained a great deal of truth”.

On last night’s Tiki Taka, Juventus supporter Giampiero Mughini suggested to Cordoba that he had not in fact won five in a row, as the first was illegitimate.

“That Scudetto on my desk feels mine, as we came third in the most honest way possible,” Cordoba replied.

“For me all that counts is what the judiciary said. That Scudetto is mine and I’m holding on to it. That year we struggled with everyone to come third, then it was awarded to us for justice.

“The problem is that today people forget historical facts. Hats off to this Juve, the players turned the tables when they were going through a difficult time.

“Let’s just talk of sport, enjoy these Scudetti which you’ve won one-by-one and that’s enough.”

Juventus continue to push for the reinstatement of their titles, as well as almost €500m in damages from the FIGC.
