Despite avoiding a 15-point deduction, Serie A and a federal court of appeal removed 10 points from Juventus as a result of its financial scandals. As a result, the Bianconeri fall from second to seventh, a spot that is outside of all European play.

As a result, Juventus falls from second in the table down to seventh. Milan, Atalanta and Roma all benefit by sliding into better European positions.
