ROME: Udinese claimed Italy's final Champions League berth following a 0-0 draw with AC Milan Sunday that concluded the Serie A season. The northeastern club finished level on points with Lazio but took fourth place since it held the tiebreaker over the Roman club on goal difference. Lazio settled for the Europa League following a 4-2 win at Lecce and city rival Roma took the final Europa League spot following a 3-1 win over Sampdoria. Juventus missed out following a 2-2 draw with Napoli at home. Udinese will still have to play the final preliminary round to qualify for the Champions League. It last qualified for the elite competition six years ago when it also finished fourth. Milan, which sealed the Serie A title two weeks ago, Inter Milan and Napoli had already gained direct qualification to the Champions League. Palermo also received a Europa League spot by reaching next weekend's Italian Cup final against Inter. Sampdoria, Brescia and Bari were each already relegated. Earlier, Giampaolo Pazzini scored twice and Japan fullback Yuto Nagatomo added another as Inter beat Catania 3-1 at the San Siro. Palermo was beaten 3-1 by Chievo Verona. Elsewhere, last-place Bari won 4-0 in Bologna with a hat trick from 18-year-old forward Francesco Grandolfo, who was playing his third match in the top division. Still, Bari will be in Serie B next season. Also, it was: Brescia 2, Fiorentina 2; Cagliari 1, Parma 1; and Genoa 3, Cesena 2. At the Stadio Friuli, Udinese hit the goal frame on three different occasions. Antonio di Natale hit the post with a free kick in the 19th minute, then had a penalty shot deflected by Milan goalkeeper Marco Amelia that hit the post in the 74th. Di Natale still ended the season on top of the Serie A scoring chart with 28 goals, two more than Napoli's Edinson Cavani. Udinese's other chance came in the 77th, when a long shot from Gokhan Inler ricocheted off both the crossbar and post before deflecting away. At the Stadio Olimpico, Daniele Manini put Sampdoria ahead before Roma responded with goals from forwards Francesco Totti, Mirko Vucinic and Marco Borriello. Totti finished with 15 goals and 207 for his Serie A career, within striking distance of third place on the all-time list.
