Juventus Lose to SPAL, Fail to Secure Serie A Title with Cristiano Ronaldo out

SPAL delayed Juventus' march to an eighth successive Serie A title by earning a shock 2-1 victory at the Stadio Paolo Mazza in Ferrara on Saturday, with Cristiano Ronaldo rested ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Ajax in Turin.

After Moise Kean's opener, goals from Kevin Bonifazi and Sergio Floccari proved enough for the team in the bottom half of the division, and Juve paid the price for omitting attacking talisman Ronaldo from the matchday squad.

Juve face Ajax before returning to league action for a home game against bitter rivals Fiorentina on Saturday.
