JUVENTUS have been re-hit with a points deduction.

And it means they will fall down the Serie A table and out of the Champions League qualification spots.

Juventus were initially slapped with a 15-point penalty in January after being accused of inflating transfer fees in dealings with other Italian clubs over three seasons to create millions of pounds in “capital gains” for tax purposes.

It was stated that Juve had manipulated the system to free up their spending powers in the market.

The punishment also saw Fabio Paratici given a worldwide football ban after his involvement in the scandal

This then prompted his resignation from Tottenham.

However, the 15-point deduction was reversed in April pending a new trial with the FIGC Federal Court of Appeal.

And the findings of the latest investigation have seen Juventus impacted again.

Before the latest developments, Juventus were second in Serie A on 69 points, one ahead of Lazio and three clear of Inter.

However, the club have now been docked 10 points which will see them drop to seventh place.

This means with two games remaining in the season, Juventus will not be able to qualify for the Champions League as they can not catch fourth placed Inter Milan.

AC Milan were back in fifth and are now fourth on 64 with Atalanta moring to fifth on 61 and Roma seventh on 60.

This means that Roma will be bumped up into the Europa League Conference qualification spot.
