MILAN: Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain scored as defending champions Juventus downed Cagliari 3-0 on Saturday in their Serie A opener.

Juventus sealed a record sixth straight title last season but lost the Champions League final 4-1 to Real Madrid.

Saturday's win was also Juve's first in their newly-named Allianz Stadium, following a recent sponsorship agreement.

Napoli are away to Verona in Saturday's late game while Roma, Inter Milan and AC Milan are all in action on Sunday.
