Juventus suffer title blow after shock Udinese loss

Juventus suffered an unexpected 0:1 home loss to Udinese in the last match of the 24th round of the Italian Serie A.

At the Allianz Stadium, the Old Lady dominated the opposition but were unable to overcome the visitors' keeper Maduka Okoye. On top of that, Massimiliano Allegri's men conceded a goal in the 25th minute, scored by Lautaro Giannetti. Until the end, the Turinese did not manage to win at least a point and now they are seriously behind the leader Inter in the battle for the championship title.

The Nerazzurri have a seven-point lead over the Bianconeri, with a game in hand. The third Milan is already a point away from the second place. Udinese won a vital match in their fight for survival, sitting 15th with 22 points, three clear of the relegation zone.

In the next round, the Udine side welcome second-to-last Cagliari, while Juventus will seek to get back to winning ways away to Verona. /BGNES
