Juve out of European places after points penalty, Empoli rout

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 23 - Juventus are out of the European qualification places at the moment after an Italian Soccer Federation's (FIGC) sporting court on Monday handed the Turin giants a 10-point penalty in Serie A for financial irregularities and they then were thrashed 4-1 at 14th place Empoli.
    Juve, who had been second on Monday morning, are seventh with 59 points, one behind sixth-placed AS Roma, two behind fifth-placed Atalanta and five behind fourth-placed AC Milan, with two games to go.
    The top four in Serie A qualify for the Champions League, while the team that finishes fifth goes into the Europa League and the sixth-placed team gets to compete in the Conference League.
    The 10-point penalty was given for irregularities in Juve's balance sheets in recent years, with inflated values allegedly given to the value of some transfer dealings. (ANSA).
