Lazio stun Napoli to clinch Champions League berth: Juve Get Set For Barca

Late goals by Ogenyi Onazi and Miroslav Klose rubber-stamped Lazio's third-place finish in Serie A on Sunday after a thrilling 4-2 win at Napoli that secured a place in next season's Champions League playoffs.
Champions Juventus finished the season with 26 wins and just three defeats from 38 games after being held 2-2 by Verona on Saturday in a match which saw Toni score once.
With their first double in 20 years already secure following a Cup final win over Lazio, Juventus will now set their sights on beating Barcelona in the final of the Champions League.
Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri hinted after a comparatively shaky performance by his side that his players' minds are already turned towards next week's showpiece in Berlin.
"We played well in parts, at other times we were less focused and made technical mistakes. We handled our lead badly, missing a penalty, and not seeing out the final few minutes," said Allegri.
"We'll rest Sunday and get to work on the game from Monday onwards. It's not every day you get to play a Champions League final and we need to prepare for it calmly."
