Milan: The battle for Champions League football continued as third-placed Juventus drew 1-1 in a hugely entertaining clash with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in which each team created a host of chances and struck the woodwork.

Juve stay five points behind Milan and inched towards a spot in Europe's top club competition after Gleison Bremer's 31st-minute header levelled an early opener from Romelu Lukaku.

Despite only winning twice in 14 league matches, Massimiliano Allegri's side are nine points ahead of sixth-placed Atalanta, who are at relegated Salernitana on Monday and also have another game in hand.

"Football is a crazy sport because one moment things go your way and the other everything goes against you," said Allegri.

"We could have done better this season but it wasn't to be."
