Juventus lost its chance of a place in the Champions League in Serie A when it lost 2-0 at home to Como on Saturday.
A win would have lifted Juve above fourth-placed Napoli, but Juventus, who were beaten 5-2 by Galatasaray in the first leg of the Champions League play-offs in midweek, had no answer to the ambition of Como, who were a point behind in sixth place.
The visitor, who drew against AC Milan on Wednesday, was in front after eleven minutes when Juve gave the ball away in midfield.
Anastasios Douvikas gathered and played on the right in Mergim Vojvoda.

The Kosovan cut inside before unleashing a left-footed shot from 18 yards out. Michele Di Gregorio got a hand on it but could not prevent the ball from hitting the back of the Juve net.
The second came just after the hour when Como counter-attacked from a poorly taken Juventus corner.
Maximo Perrone carried the ball all over the pitch before spotting Lucas Da Cunha on the right and making a run into the penalty area.
The captain sent a low cross to Maxence Caqueret on the edge of the six-yard box, who tapped into an empty net.
A win over Lecce later on Saturday would give leaders Inter Milan a 10-point lead over AC Milan, who host Parma on Sunday.
