Newly-crowned champion Juventus was held 1-1 by Cagliari in Serie A on Saturday, but the result did little to dampen spirits on the day it was presented with its 29th league trophy.

There was a party atmosphere at the Juventus Stadium and the home players walked out of the tunnel holding their children, who were wearing team kits.

Victor Ibarbo threatened to spoil the celebrations when he burst forward from his own half in the 12th minute, going between Juventus players Claudio Marchisio and Andrea Barzagli, before firing under goalkeeper Marco Storari.

Sebastian Giovinco almost leveled but curled a free kick onto the crossbar.

Juventus equalized just after the hour. Arturo Vidal headed Marchisio's cross back across goal for Vucinic to tap in.

Juve sealed the title with three rounds to go last weekend.
