Exactly. In 2005 and 06, Juventus were the strongest, we were the best, and we deserved those two titles. That's football right there. Go look at the goals- all of them were legit. Let football talk and it will tell you that Juventus were the best, that was the real trick behind Calciopoli. And here's another trick behind Calciopoli- between 1980 and 2006, Inter won one title. I'm not suggesting anything here, I mean, those are the facts and that's what the Calciopoli trial was based around footballing wise.
