Again, bad news from Juventus coming out of the courtroom. Just as the team stabilized to some extent, scored three victories and jumped into the Champions League zone with 15 points returned after the accepted appeal against the original verdict, the media in the Apennines assures that the Old Lady will face a new setback on Monday. The Federal Court of Appeal of Italy will have a new hearing at noon regarding the scandal related to Juve’s illegal acquisition of capital gains, i.e. inflating the prices of certain players, in order to “iron” the books and avoid sanctions in accordance with the fair play regulations.Juventus revised point penalty will arrive tomorrow. The feeling is that Juventus will be docked 12 points. The goal is to take away the Champions League qualification. [CDS] #Juve pic.twitter.com/OF1FGv1LGy— Football Talk (@FootballTalkHQ) May 21, 2023 The club from Turin was initially deprived of 15 points because of this, but then the points were given back. In the meantime, the prosecution gathered new evidence on the basis of which, according to Corriere dello Sport, the Bianconeri will be sanctioned with -12! The newspaper, which obviously had access to the court material, states that the basis of guilt has essentially been confirmed and that the sentence will be less compared to the previous one only because one of the members of the former administration, Pavel Nedved, was exempted from the entire process and declared innocent.Chiellini: I was close to signing for Real Madrid but I’m not fond of the Spanish style of footballDuring the last weeks, there were hints that the point minus could amount to nine points, as originally requested by the prosecutor of the Italian Football Federation, Giuseppe Cine. However, Corriere underlines in today’s edition that the Court is leaning towards the 12-point deduction since they think that this was the systematic process of breaking the rules.As if there are no other midfielders: United eager to sign RabiotIf these announcements turn out to be correct, Juventus will drop from 69 points to 57, which would mean a drop to the eighth position. In that case, the Black and Whites could forget the Champions League, and they would retain the possibility of getting hold of the Conference League or the Europa League. But, UEFA is conducting a parallel investigation in Nyon about the matter, and it is not excluded that the verdict (if found guilty) will be harsh: a complete expulsion from European competitions for a year or maybe even longer. Milan and Lazio would benefit the most from a potential Juve fine. The Italian giant was one of the participants of Calciopoli, the famous match-fixing scandal in Italy in 2006. Then they were kicked out of Serie A to the second tier of Italian football.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 36FridaySassuolo – Monza 1-2 (1-0)/Berardi 45+6 pen – Ciurria 60, Pessina 90+3/Saturday16:00: (2.90) Cremonese (3.35) Bologna (2.65)19:00: (1.65) Atalanta (4.00) Verona (6.25)21:45: (1.24) Milan (6.75) Sampdoria (14.0)Sunday13:30: (2.35) Lecce (3.30) Spezia (3.45)16:00: (2.03) Torino (3.40) Fiorentina (4.00)19:00: (2.90) Napoli (3.45) Inter (2.60)21:45: (3.70) Udinese (3.40) Lazio (2.11)Monday19:30: (1.52) Roma (4.20) Salernitana (7.25)21:45: (5.30) Empoli (3.60) Juventus (1.75)***odds are subject to change***
