Juventus and Milan are very likely to cross paths in the play-offs…

Inter secure their top 4 finish with a Lautaro Martinez hat-trick.
Should end 9th.
Jeered off the pitch.
Scalvini is stretchered off, into 5 minutes of added time.
Play still stopped in Barcelona, because Scalvini has very much dislocated that shoulder and needs to be stabilised before he can be stretchered off.
Should be 4-0, but Arnautovic with the header over from point-blank range!
Oh dear. Abraham knocks it down for Okafor, who shins it horrifically wide at the back post.
Worrying for Atalanta now, Scalvini just landed very badly on his shoulder during a corner. His arm seems to be… facing an odd way.
Real problem for Monaco here. Teze is injured, has to be stretchered off and Monaco completed all their substitutions, so are now down to 9 men.
He’s distraught, poor thing.
Some Juventus fans are already leaving the stadium.
Atalanta close again, Cuadrado rolls across from the right and Zaniolo prods wide at the near post!
Aktrukoglu sends a shot from outside the box wide. Juventus are shocked.
Pavlidis central pass for Aktrukoglu, whose movement attracts Gatti off the line and opens space for Kokcu. One-v-one with Perin, easy 2-0.
