Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty as champions Juventus squandered the chance to move second in Serie A on Wednesday with a 1-1 draw at home against Atalanta. Juventus picked up their sixth draw in 12 games, to sit third, four points behind leaders AC Milan who were held 2-2 at Genoa on Wednesday.

"You have to take these games home," said Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo. "We had many opportunities and we weren’t able to close it. When you leave the game in the balance anything can happen."
