Juventus have officially been handed a 10-point deduction as the new trial regarding the capital gains case has been concluded. The verdict was announced this evening and it’s a big boost for AC Milan.
Milan are fighting for a top-four finish and with just two games left of the season, there aren’t many points left to play for. Many fans were waiting on the verdict on Juventus, therefore, and it has now arrived.
As reported by ANSA (via Simone Cristao), FIGC’s Federal Court of Appeal gave their verdict on the capital gains case this evening and Juventus have been handed a 10-point deduction. Rumours earlier today suggested it would be 11, but that’s not the case.
In any case, it’s a huge boost for Milan as they are now in the top four, which means Champions League qualification. Missing out on the competition would be a huge blow for the Rossoneri financially, but they can now head into the final two games with a lot less pressure on their shoulders.
