Juventus ends Serie A season with victory over Monza
Juventus completed its Serie A campaign with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Monza thanks to first-half goals from Federico Chiesa and the departing Alex Sandro.
Juve ended its season on 71 points, third in the standings, and could still be overtaken by UEFA Europa League champion Atalanta, which sits fifth and has two matches left to play.
Chiesa broke the deadlock after 26 minutes and long-serving left-back Sandro, playing in his final game for the Bianconeri before departing as a free agent, doubled the lead two minutes later with a header from a corner.
Juve came close to scoring a third early in the second half, but Chiesa's attempt from the edge of the box hit the woodwork.
Thiago Motta is expected to take charge of Juve in the coming days, after his departure from Bologna was confirmed.
Chiesa's effort against the frame of the goal means that, since the beginning of the last season, only Inter Milan (36) hit the woodwork more times than Juve (35) in Serie A.
Juve will be hoping to be that bit more clinical next term as it aims to challenge for the title under Motta.
Monza ended the campaign in 12th place with 45 points.
