London:
Federico Chiesa’s second-half goal helped Juventus beat Udinese 1-0 in their final match of the Serie A season on Sunday but failed to secure a win. Europa League Spot for next term.
Juve’s hopes of a place in UEFA’s second-tier competition were dashed as AS Roma beat relegation-battles Spezia 2-1 and Atalanta beat Monza 5-2 to secure a place in the Europa League.
Roma’s Paulo Dybala scored an 89th-minute penalty to secure the points for Jose Mourinho, who shrugged off the disappointment of defeat in Wednesday’s Europa League final.
Juventus Finished seventh with 62 points and qualified for the Conference League, while Atalanta (64) and Roma (63) finished the campaign in fifth and sixth place respectively.
Juve have dropped to seventh after being docked 10 points by an Italian soccer court for their transfer dealings last month. Massimiliano Allegri’s side have been plagued by injuries all season, with Gleeson Bremer and Dusan Vlahovic sidelined on Sunday and Angel Di Maria starting on the bench.
Allegri described the campaign as a complicated one for Juve, highlighting how they were initially docked 15 points, a decision that was overturned after an appeal.
They could have finished third without the subsequent 10-point penalty that took them out of the Champions League spot.
“The 10-point penalty was not our fault, so I took the team to third place on the field and nobody can take that away from me,” Allegri told Sky Sport Italia. “It was a difficult year, but it was also a wonderful year. The (Udinese) game was largely irrelevant. I just want to thank everyone who worked with me at the Continassa (training ground).”
Asked about his future, Allegri said: “I’m not discussing any contract termination, I still have two years on the contract.”
With little risk for Udinese, the hosts took a defensive approach as Juventus dominated possession in the first half. Juve went close on the half-hour mark when Leonardo Bonucci’s powerful header hit the bar after a flick-on corner.
Chiesa broke the deadlock in the 68th minute with a deft volley from 15 meters into the bottom corner.
