1999–2000 Serie A

Serie A 1999-2000 team distribution

Lazio won the title on the final day of the season in controversial cirumstances. Juventus, the only other team left in contention on the day lost their match against Perugia in terrible conditions at a rain-sodden Stadio Renato Curi, many considering the pitch unplayable. Pierluigi Collina the referee temporarily halted the game at one point for 82 minutes but decided against calling it off. Juventus went on to lose the game 1-0 with a goal from Alessandro Calori while Lazio comfortably beat Reggina 3-0 at home in the sunshine in the Stadio Olimpico.
