Juventus are in deep trouble. Sportingly, the Bianconeri are already dropped in the league. Eighth in the standings ten points behind the Neapolitan leader, Massimiliano Allegri’s men are still on track for a complicated season. And as if that were not enough for them, they have just suffered a real humiliation in the Champions League.
For the first time in almost ten years, Juventus will not see the round of 16. Beaten 4-3 by Benfica yesterday, the Turinese have gleaned only three small points in five matches. An absolute shame and above all a hell of a backlash for Andrea Agnelli, Bianconero president, fervent supporter of the controversial Super League project. But that’s not all !
Un document secret
Behind the scenes, the situation is also very tense at Juve. Yesterday, we relayed to you information according to which the Old Lady was at the heart of a scandal concerning her financial management. Well today the Gazzetta dello Sport tells us that the situation has worsened. During the searches carried out at the headquarters of the Old Lady, the police got their hands on a compromising document.
This is a document stating that Juventus had to pay around €20m to Cristiano Ronaldo, even if the Portuguese left. The concern is that these 20 M€ would not have been declared in the bianconero balance sheet. Juventus issued a statement to claim they had complied with the law. Nevertheless, she has 20 days to present her defense to justice. Hoping that it is stronger than the one that was lined up yesterday in Lisbon.
