JUVENTUS failed to atone for its midweek Champions League exit, falling to a 1-3 Italian Serie A defeat at Bari on Saturday.
Bari, which moved up to fifth, took an early lead through Riccardo Meggiorini's deflected half-volley but David Trezeguet tapped in the rebound from a Diego shot to level on 23 minutes.
Paulo Barreto restored Bari's lead from the penalty spot just before halftime but Juventus missed a spot-kick of its own when Diego blazed over in the 68th.
Bari's former Juventus midfielder Sergio Almiron sealed the win with a piledriver nine minutes from time.
Juventus remains third, five points behind leader Inter Milan, and the defeat will increase the pressure on coach Ciro Ferrara after last Tuesday's 1-4 home defeat by Bayern Munich which ended its Champions League hopes at the group stage.
Inter has 35 points, ahead of AC Milan on 31.
Ferrara's men, who had hoped to have ended an indifferent spell with a 2-1 win over Inter last weekend, were a little unlucky as they created a string of chances they could not put away.
"Obviously the last few days have not been tranquil," Ferrara told Sky television.
"Today it's difficult to find an explanation, honestly. Today was particular. We could have been out there much longer and the ball would never have gone in."
Mariano Bogliacino headed an equalizer deep into stoppage time to earn Napoli a 3-3 draw at Cagliari in a thriller earlier on Saturday.
Brazilian Jeda looked to have completed a remarkable comeback for Cagliari when he nodded home in the 90th after late goals by Joaquin Larrivey and Alessandro Matri had wiped out Napoli's two-goal lead.
The visitors were well in charge for most of the match, with Ezequiel Lavezzi driving into the far corner in the 22nd and Michele Pazienza firing in their second in the 65th.
Napoli is ninth in the table, two places ahead of Cagliari.
