*Juventus 2 Verona 1: Buffon signs off on a high

Gianluigi Buffon signed off in style as Juventus celebrated their seventh straight Serie A title with a 2-1 victory over relegated Verona.

Having already wrapped up the Scudetto, it was party-time in Turin for Massimiliano Allegri's men, with Buffon taking centre stage on his final game for the Bianconeri.

The Italy goalkeeper announced on Thursday that he would be calling time on his 17-year Juve career at the end of the campaign, although it is not yet clear whether he will retire altogether.

And the 40-year-old provided the highlight of a sluggish opening period, making a fine save to parry away Mohamed Fares' strike, while Paulo Dybala clipped the woodwork at the other end.

Juve wasted little time in asserting their authority following the restart, however - Daniele Rugani capitalising on Nicolas' error in the 49th minute before Miralem Pjanic converted a superb free-kick.

Buffon stole the limelight just after the hour, receiving a standing ovation as he made way for debutant Carlo Pinsoglio and bid an emotional farewell to the Bianconeri faithful.

Alessio Cerci pulled one back for Verona before Stephan Lichtsteiner - also making his final Juve appearance - failed to convert from the penalty spot as the Serie A champions ended another successful campaign in winning.
