Turin (Italy), May 14: More than 400,000 fans packed the streets of Turin on Sunday night as Juventus celebrated its Serie A title victory with an open-top bus parade.


The parade was meant to finish at 10 p.m. local time (2000 GMT) but lasted two and a half hours longer as the bus struggled to get through the sea of ecstatic fans.

It took five hours for the bus to negotiate the crowded streets from the stadium to Parco del Valentino where the team will continue its celebrations with family and close friends in the Cacao club.

Fans sat on top of bus shelters, monuments and shops to cheer the Italian champions along the route as fireworks lit up the sky.

It is Juventus' 28th title and first in nine years after it was stripped of the 2005 and 2006 trophies because of the matchfixing scandal which saw it relegated to Serie B.
