Juventus out of Champions League spots after 10-point deduction

Juventus were hit with a fresh 10-point penalty on Monday by an Italian court -- hampering their chances of qualifying for next year's Champions League -- Italy's Football Association said.

The latest punishment for false accounting in the club's transfer dealings dropped Juventus from second spot in Serie A to seventh.

It left the Bianconeri five points behind AC Milan, who moved into fourth place in Serie A and the final qualifying spot for the Champions League.

Juventus are playing at lowly Empoli on Monday. There are then two rounds remaining in the Serie A season, including what will be a crucial match against AC Milan.
