Serie A 1997-98

Juventus won the title in controvertsial circumstances. In their match on Sunday, 26 April, 1998, against eventual runners-up, Inter, Ronaldo was denied what appeared a clear penalty for Inter after being blocked by Mark Iuliano of Juventus. Some argue that the Inter's claim was vindicated by the outcome of the Calciopoli scandal. Had the penalty been awarded and then dispatched, the outcome of the title race may well have been different. The incident is still talked about to this day by football pundits in Italy.
