Juventus had to do without the superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in the top match against Atalanta, and the Portuguese's absence proved to be an important factor when "The Old Lady" lost 0-1 in the match between Serie A´'s third and fourth place. Atalanta secured the victory after 87 minutes when substitute Ruslan Malinovskyi scored the only goal of the match. The result means that Atalanta take over Juventus' third place, while Andrea Pirlo's team is just holding on to the Champions League-winning fourth place.

Juventus' defeat has, if possible, made the showdown between the leading team Inter Milan and fifth place Napoli even more exciting, as the Neapolitans with a victory over inter Milan can get a point with Juventus. In addition to Juventus and Napoli, Lazio and Roma are also in the fight for the important fourth place, while Atalanta and AC Milan's lead also does not guarantee the northern Italians a place in the finest European club tournament next season.
