Serie A 2024-25: Juventus out of top four after loss against Parma
Juve sits fifth on 59 points, one behind Bologna, which occupies the final Champions League spot, with five rounds remaining. Parma, meanwhile, took a significant step away from the relegation zone and has 31 points — six clear of 18th-placed Venezia.
The first half was a dull affair, with both sides appearing to have already clocked off for an early end-of-season break, drifting through the motions and barely creating any real chances until the final minutes.
Mateo Pellegrino lit up the home crowd right before the break, soaring through the air in first-half stoppage time to meet a looping cross and head the ball with pinpoint precision into the net for the only goal of the match.

Juve's Dusan Vlahovic was substituted during the break, with Italian media reporting that the striker suffered a thigh injury, with Francisco Conceicao replacing the Serbian.
The second half unfolded in the same lifeless fashion as the first, with Juve applying some late pressure, but Parma keeper Zion Suzuki proved a steady last line of defence, denying Juve any chance of an equaliser.
The Serie A clash between Genoa and Lazio was briefly halted in the first half after several smoke bombs were thrown onto the pitch, one of which struck Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas.
However, the Greek shot-stopper was cleared to continue and played the rest of the match, helping Lazio to a 2–0 win with goals from Valentin Castellanos and Boulaye Dia.

Jannik Sinner rehires Umberto Ferrera post-doping row to begin US Open preparations

The decision, according to his team, was made in consultation with his management and signals a move towards re-establishing continuity in his training along with physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi, had been removed from Sinner's camp following an anti-doping investigation last year. Sinner had tested positive for clostebol, a banned substance, which was later traced back to an over-the-counter spray used by Naldi. The contamination, it was found, had occurred due to the use of a non-sterilised spray bottle that Ferrara had provided, which Naldi used on his hand before later handling Sinner's the situation, an independent tribunal ruled that Sinner bore no fault or negligence for the incident and accepted the explanation of inadvertent contamination. The Italian was handed a three-month ban by WADA but was cleared to return earlier this year. The ordeal, however, had taken its toll on the Italian star. During August, last year, Sinner revealed that he had lost trust in the team due to the mishandling of the situation. "Now, because of these mistakes, I'm not feeling confident to continue with them," Sinner had said. "I was struggling a lot in the last months. The only thing I need right now is some clean air."Ferrara has since worked with Matteo Berrettini and remained active within elite tennis circles. His reintroduction to Sinner's team suggests a repaired relationship and a belief that the duo can work together productively returned to action strongly this season. After a runner-up finish to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros, he defeated the Spaniard to win his maiden Wimbledon title earlier this month. With a Grand Slam title under his belt and renewed momentum, Sinner will look to carry his form into the US hard-court season, where his previous best at the US Open was a quarterfinal finish in return of Ferrara could provide the stability and familiarity Sinner needs as he aims to build on his breakthrough year.- Ends
