New penalty, Champions League in danger

It is the culmination of a saga that began several months ago with the first condemnation of Juventus in the context of financial irregularities due to a large accounting fraud contracted by the club via the inflation of the values ​​of several players in particular. This Monday, May 22, the Italian Football Federation Court of Appeal confirmed the lawsuits concerning the Old lady but decided to review the initial judgment by revising the sanction.

After recovering their 15 points by having the court’s decision overturned, Juventus were finally awarded a penalty of 10 points in the standings, their guilt having been proven in the case. A decision that automatically drops the club from 2nd to 6th place in Serie A. With 59 points, the Old lady are now 5 points behind AC Milan and their last qualifying spot for the Champions League but can get closer to two points if they win today at Empoli.
