Chiellini responds to Insigne jibe: Juventus lose finals because we play them Serie A Winger had claimed rivals were 'used to it'

After Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne had stated that Juventus were 'used to' losing finals, Giorgio Chiellini had the last laugh following his side's Scudetto title triumph.

The Partenopei had seriously worried Juve's domestic domination for much of the season, with Insigne's comments coming after a seemingly decisive 1-0 win for Napoli at Juventus Stadium.

"We lose those finals because we play them, the others decide to go out in the last-16," remarked the defender after a 0-0 draw at Roma sealed the Bianconeri their seventh straight Serie A.

"These are choices. But the time comes when you have to apologise."

A jubilant Chiellini went on to outline how the vocal way his side's opponents went about their title challenge served to motivate Juventus.

"In life, respect is needed and when it is lacking, consequences are paid," he added.

"They spoke too soon and they paid for it. We were silent when we had to be and now we enjoy it deservedly."
