Juventus secures Champions League berth with wild win at relegated Venezia
ROME (AP) — Igor Tudor was hired in March to make sure that Juventus qualified for the Champions League.

Juventus finished one point ahead of Roma, which won 2-0 at Torino to secure a Europa League spot. Venezia, which was relegated along with Empoli, surprised Juventus with an early goal from Daniel Fila in the second minute. Kenan Yildiz and Randal Kolo Muani struck back to put Juventus in control after 31 minutes. Ridgeciano Haps equalized after the break for Venezia before Manuel Locatelli restored Juve's lead with a penalty. Tudor replaced the fired Thiago Motta and was given a contract through the end of the season.

Ranieri's finale Leandro Paredes converted a first-half penalty and Alexis Saelemaekers headed in after the break for Roma in the final match of Claudio Ranieri's coaching career.

Maldini shines but Atalanta fall to Parma comeback
A quick-fire brace by Daniel Maldini was not enough for Atalanta, who saw a two-goal lead slip away in a 3-2 home loss to Parma on Sunday, securing the visitors' place in Serie A next season in the last match of the campaign. Atalanta had little to play for, with third place and a Champions League spot long guaranteed, but the game was a thriller for Parma who were only two points above the relegation line before kick-off. Maldini got his two goals in the space of a minute, tucking home a cross in the 32nd minute before rattling the frame of the goal with another well-placed shot. The break seemed to breathe new life into Parma and three minutes into the second half Antoine Hainaut latched on to a loose ball in the box and smashed it in to drag his side back into the game. In the 71th minute, Parma substitute Jacob Ondrejka cut through the Atalanta defence and sent a low shot into the net for the equaliser. In stoppage time, Ondrejka scored his second to keep his side in the Italian top tier next year. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Milan fan aggressively waved Maldini shirt at club chiefs
Paolo Maldini was the focal point of the Milan fan protests this evening, which even saw a supporter taken away by stewards for aggressively wafting his jersey at club directors. The final game of the Serie A season for the Rossoneri was against already relegated Monza at San Siro, so there was more interest in what was happening in the stands than on the pitch. Advertisement This included the ultras arranging themselves in the message 'Go Home' in the stands, lighting it up with their phones and then walking out after 20 minutes. Maldini still a hero for Milan fans MILAN, ITALY – MAY 24: General view inside the stadium as fans of AC Milan protest by sitting in an arrangement to spell out 'go home' in the stands during the Serie A match between AC Milan and Monza at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on May 24, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Before they stormed out, there was a curious moment when the crowd applauded as a supporter was escorted away by stewards. This was because he was wearing the Maldini 3 jersey, but held another that he waved aggressively in the direction of the club directors. Paolo Ale! Paolo Maldini — Walter Flores (@walli7_) May 24, 2025 They were considered responsible for the decision to sack the club icon in the summer of 2023, when he had been the technical director since 2019. A few minutes later, according to DAZN, there was further applause because the supporter was allowed to return to his seat. The stewards evidently realised that waving a jersey was insufficient reason to kick him out of the stadium.
