(Reuters) - Juventus need to beat AC Milan in their final home match of the season on Sunday to maintain their slim hopes of a top-four finish in Serie A after their recent 10-point deduction sent them tumbling down the table.
Juve were docked points on Monday after a new ruling by an Italian soccer court in a case centred on their transfer dealings dropped them from second to seventh in the table, outside of the European qualification places.
Allegri acknowledged that the uncertainty over their situation had taken its toll, as it was the second time this season that the club had been docked points, having successfully appealed against a previous penalty. "It’s not justification, but this is, without doubt, an anomalous season for us, and despite it all, the team earned 69 points."
Inter had won five league games in a row before last weekend's loss to champions Napoli, while fifth-placed Atalanta have lost two of their last three.
