Juventus, recently-crowned champions of the Italian Serie A, fell to a shock defeat at Cagliari as Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score a goal.
The Portugal striker is currently on 31 goals in the league, with one game left.
Earlier in the day, Lazio striker, Ciro Immobile netted another goal in his side’s victory over Brescia to increase his tally to 35 this season.
With the goal, Immobile is now the leading goalscorer in Europe this season, surpassing Robert Lewandowski, whose 34 goals helped Bayern clinch the German Bundesliga.
