Bad for the Juventus club too. There Juventus finished the fiscal year for the 2020-21 season, with a consolidated loss of 209,9 million euros, compared to €89,7 million in the previous year, due to lower revenues of €92,7 million – related both to the effects directly attributable to the pandemic crisis and to lower income from the management of players' rights.
