Juventus brought an end to their Serie A title-winning season by recording a 2-2 draw away at Hellas Verona this evening.
It was the 31-time champions of Italy that dominated proceedings from the off, but it appeared that their luck was out when Claudio Marchisio shot off target and Fernando Llorente saw his volley strike the crossbar.

However, with just three minutes of the first half remaining, the Old Lady broke the deadlock.
Roberto Pereyra, who scored his first two goals for Juve against Verona back in January, was afforded space 25 yards from goal and the 24-year-old made the most of his opportunity by curling an effort past a motionless Rafael in the home goal.
Despite that setback, the hosts rallied after the restart and, in the 48th minute, they were level thanks to a familiar face.
A quick counter-attack found former Juve frontman Luca Toni, who beat Gianluigi Buffon with a low left-footed shot.
However, Verona's celebrations would be short-lived because Llorente was on hand to convert Simone Padoin's cutback nine minutes later.
Yet there was still much more drama to come, with Juve striker Carlos Tevez seeing his penalty saved by Rafael in the 88th minute, before Simone Pepe was handed a straight red card.
The home team then made the most of their numerical advantage deep into stoppage time when Juan Gomez rose highest to convert Rafael Marquez's cross, earning his side a share of the spoils in the process.
