Serie A 2011/2012: A Season to Remember
A Thrilling Title Race
The 2011/2012 Serie A season was one of the most exciting in recent memory, with the title race going down to the wire. Juventus ultimately emerged victorious, but not without a fierce challenge from AC Milan. The Bianconeri finished just four points ahead of their rivals, with a total of 84 points.
Juventus' Dominant Performance
Juventus' triumph was built on a solid defense and a potent attack. The Old Lady conceded just 20 goals in 38 games, the best defensive record in the league. Up front, Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic shared the scoring burden, each netting 10 goals.
AC Milan's Resurgence
After a disappointing few seasons, AC Milan returned to their former glory in 2011/2012. The Rossoneri boasted a formidable attacking trio of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Antonio Cassano, and Kevin-Prince Boateng, who combined for 60 goals. However, despite their impressive firepower, Milan's defense proved to be their Achilles' heel.
Other Notable Teams
While Juventus and Milan dominated the headlines, a number of other teams had strong seasons. Udinese finished third, their highest league placing since 1997/1998. Napoli also impressed, finishing fourth and securing a place in the Champions League playoffs.
