Juventus missed the chance to seal Champions League qualification on Sunday when they only salvaged a 1-1 home draw with relegated Salernitana with a stoppage-time goal from Adrien Rabiot.

The France midfielder bundled home Juve's leveller in the first minute of added time after another uninspiring display which brought boos from fans at the final whistle.

Niccolo Pierozzi seemed to have condemned Juve to perhaps the most embarrassing defeat of their strange season with his first Serie A goal, in the 27th minute in Turin.

Toma Basic almost won the match for rock-bottom Salernitana with the last kick of the game when he flashed just over the bar at the end of a counter-attack.

Since the start of February, Juve, in fourth, have won just three times in all competitions but, after a fifth straight league draw, they are seven points ahead of sixth-placed Roma with five Champions League spots available.

Massimiliano Allegri's side, who hit the woodwork three times, also play the Italian Cup final on Wednesday against in-form Atalanta.

Later Roma are at fifth-placed Atalanta -- who have a game in hand -- with the pair level on 60 points and battling for the final spot after contrasting fortunes in the Europa League semi-finals.

Atalanta hammered Marseille on Thursday to reach their first ever European final while Roma suffered late heartache as they were eliminated at Bayer Leverkusen, denying supporters an all-Italian final in Dublin.

Juventus and Bologna, who won 2-0 at Napoli on Saturday, will be watching with interest as anything but a win for Roma will guarantee both teams a place in the Champions League.
