Have all qualified for the Champions League?

 

[JBlues08]

Too obvious I guess?

Here is the next one.

From the current 20 Serie A teams, which other SIX teams have won the Italian league title apart from AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma and Juventus?

 

[Themer]

Napoli won it when Maradonna was there I'd suspect. Other than that Fiorentina, Parma, Genoa and Lazio have had successful periods at times from what I can remember.

Can't really think of anyone else who might have.

 

[Auwais]

Bologna infamously won a title in the '60s on a tie-breaker after finishing level on points with Inter.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

cagliari won it in the 60s or 70s too, but I don't think Parma ever did, despite having a successful period. I think that was spurred on by rich owners and they certainly never won it during the crespo, chiesa, zola, melli years when I was obsessed with italian football in the 90s.

 

[JBlues08]

Spot on! Napoli, Fiorentina, Lazio, Genoa, Bologna and Cagliari are those six teams.
