Dramatic evening for Juventus: ‘Old Lady’ still loses 10 points and makes a fool of Empoli | Foreign football

Juventus still has to hand in 10 points in Serie A. The club has been penalized by the appeals committee of the Italian Football Association for financial malpractice in transfers. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the ‘Old Lady’ also suffered a painful 4-1 defeat at low flyer Empoli tonight.

Juventus, which is appealing against the penalty, drops from second to seventh place in one fell swoop, so there is a good chance that it will not play a Champions League next season. The team had climbed to 6th place with a win over Empoli because AS Roma did not get further than 2-2 against Salernitana earlier in the evening. The team of coach Massimiliano Allegri, however, completely embarrassed Italy’s number 14: 4-1.

Francesco Caputo scored twice for the home team and his teammates Sebastiano Luperto and Roberto Piccoli also scored. The substitute Federico Chiesa shot for the visitors from Turin when they trailed 3-0. Juventus will play at home against AC Milan on Sunday, the number four that has five points more with two games left.

Juventus is also having a hard time at Empoli tonight:

Lazio, Internazionale and AC Milan are behind champions Napoli in the four Champions League places in Serie A. Atalanta Bergamo and AS Roma are fifth and sixth respectively. AS Roma can still qualify for the Champions League as the winner of the Europa League. The club will face Sevilla in the final on May 31.

Andrew Agnelli

Former star player Pavel Nedved was suspended for eight months. He resigned as vice-president of Juventus last year because of the criminal investigation into forgery, forged financial documents and manipulation of the financial markets at the club.
