When the final round of Serie A concluded on Sunday, Juventus clinched a Champions League berth with a narrow 3-2 victory over relegated Venezia, finishing fourth—just one point ahead of Roma. Coach Igor Tudor, appointed in March, achieved the club’s minimum goal amid speculation about his future and a potential return of Antonio Conte.
Juventus overcame an early second-minute strike from Daniel Fila, with Kenan Yildiz and Randal Kolo Muani scoring before Manuel Locatelli sealed the win with a penalty after Ridgeciano Haps had equalized. Roma, led by outgoing manager Claudio Ranieri, defeated Torino 2-0 to claim a Europa League spot, capping off a strong second half of the season. Fiorentina grabbed a Conference League place with a 3-2 win over Udinese, leapfrogging Lazio, who lost 1-0 at home to Lecce.
Atalanta’s Daniel Maldini scored a rapid brace in a 3-2 loss to Parma, who secured survival thanks to Jacob Ondrejka’s late double. Meanwhile, Empoli was relegated after a 2-1 loss to Hellas Verona. Juventus now prepares for the upcoming Club World Cup in the United States, while Roma awaits the announcement of their next head coach.
