AC Milan's Robinho scored a brace as the Devils beat Cagliari 4-1 late Saturday to celebrate the Serie A title that they had secured a week earlier.
The Rossoneri paraded on a coach in the centre of Milan ahead of the game and held a second party at the Giuseppe Meazza after defeating the former team of coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Brazilian Robinho opened the scoring on 22 minutes, converging from the left flank to curl a low drive into the far post, and scored again by the same post after Gennaro Gattuso nodded home a loose ball from outside the box.
Andrea Cossu pulled one back for the guests before half time, and Dutch veteran Clarence Seedorf flicked home a Pato assist in the second half before giving way to Filippo Inzaghi, another team veteran who returned in the penultimate game of the season from a long injury lay-off.
Lazio beat Genoa 4-2 earlier Saturday with a brace from Brazilian Hernanes, to get back in contention for a Champions League berth.
After three consecutive defeats, the Rome side are fourth with one game left. Fifth-place Udinese have a chance to claw back the position, which qualifies for a preliminary round of the continental tournament, when they visit Chievo on Sunday.
In Sunday action, Napoli and second-placed holders Inter Milan play a late top-billing game in Naples, with the hosts looking to retain third place.
