MILAN - Shares in Juventus tumbled some 10% on Monday after Italian soccer authorities docked the club 15 points for its transfer dealings, in a blow to its reputation and short-term sporting prospects.

La peor noche en la carrera de Memo Ochoa: Atalanta le llenó la bolsa con ocho goles

Guillermo Ochoa vivió una noche de terror en la Serie A italiana.

Comedy of errors between Napoli and Juve with an accidental uppercut and physio getting hit sticked

Serie A leaders Napoli torched Juventus 5-1 on Friday with Victor Osimhen scoring a brace. The Nigerian forward put the hurt on Juve metaphorically and literally.

In the 47th minute Osimhen accidentally landed a perfect uppercut on Manuel Locatelli. The Napoli No. 9 had already burned Juventus in the first half, so Alex Sandro was hassling and grabbing at him right as the second half began.

Osimhen threw his arms up in protest after being dispossessed of the ball but little did he know Locatelli was right next to him. What followed was something straight out of UFC.

Raúl Jiménez, Diego Lainez y Johan Vásquez están básicamente borrados de sus respectivos equipos: Wolverhampton, SC Braga y Cremonese. Haciendo banca sin entrar de cambio e incluso no siendo convocados para los partidos que sus clubes enfrentan.
