It is the day of the sentence of the Federal Court of Appeal on the penalty to be assigned to Juventus in relation to the capital gains process. After a long judicial push and pull, a definition of the points that will be subtracted from the Juventus classification should be reached, with a preview of the possible decision that came from Evelina Christillin, additional member of UEFA on the FIFA Council and Juventus fan, guest by Radio Anch’io Sport on Rai Radio 1: «I think there will be something less than the 15 penalty points. There is this concept of affliction that only concerns sporting justice and not ordinary justice. It will probably be a penalty that should block the way to the Champions League. Now let’s remember that there are three European cups, but certainly the economic value of going to the Champions League or another cup is significant, they are almost 5 times as much. We’ll see if it will be 10, 11 or 13 points, for us Juventus players it’s a big blow».
«There is also – underlines Christillin, who ended up on a collision course with Lapo Elkann in recent weeks – the Uefa variable. When the Italian sentences become definitive, then decisions will also be made in UEFA headquarters. And then there is the second strand of the wage bill. Juve excluded from the cups by UEFA? possible scenario. Let’s not forget that relations with UEFA are not excellent after the Superlega question. Juve remains – explains the sports manager – one of the three teams that still keep the project alive. Approach steps have not been seen at the moment. Naturally, the question concerns the settlement agreement concluded in September last year on the Financial Fair Play which, in the light of the new facts, could be re-discussed».
