CHELSEA loanee Fikayo Tomori got on the scoresheet as AC Milan thumped Juventus 3-0 to dump the Old Lady out of the top-four.
Andrea Pirlo’s side started the day level on points with Milan – but were absolutely thumped at the Allianz Stadium.
Brahim Diaz, Ante Rebic and Tomori all scored in the 3-0 drubbing as the visitors climbed to third in the Serie A standings.
And it’s bad news for Juventus – who have already missed out on the chance to win a tenth straight league title – with Cristiano Ronaldo set to assess his options this summer.
Ronaldo was signed in a £99million deal from Real Madrid in the summer of 2018 with the Italian giants desperate to end their Champions League drought.
Juve haven’t won Europe’s premier competition since 1995-96, with five-time winner Ronaldo believed to be the missing link.
However, not only has the Portuguese ace failed to deliver a Champions League win – with back-to-back last-16 exits, no less – he even helped Juventus surrender their Serie A dominance.
The Old Lady last missed out on the league title in 2010-11, when Sunday’s opponents AC Milan clinched it.
And Milan may have just inflicted the knockout blow with Juventus now at risk of missing out on Champions League football altogether next season.
Brahim curled home a stunning opener just before the break to give the visitors the halftime lead.

And they had a chance to extend the advantage in the 56th minute too, only for Franck Kessie’s penalty to be saved by Wojciech Szczesny.
The miss didn’t prove costly though as substitute Rebic arrowed a fine strike into the net 12 minutes from time.
On-loan Chelsea centre-back Tomori put the cherry on top as he headed a third goal to seal a crucial win for Milan four minutes later.
Juventus now have three games to save their skin, with Milan hoping to cling on to their place in the top-four.
Pirlo and Co sit just one point behind Napoli and three adrift of Milan and Atalanta, with champions Inter Milan already well out of reach.
Juve face Inter in their penultimate game of the Serie A season, with matches away to Sassuolo and Bologna also on the horizon, as well as their Coppa Italia final against Atalanta.
