“Bloodbath” Carnevali admits Juventus has to qualify for the Champions League

Giovanni Carnevali, Juventus CEO, acknowledges the dire consequences Juventus faces if they fail to secure a Champions League spot. Last season, the club narrowly avoided this fate, but they slipped back this time after their form dipped, allowing Roma and Como to move ahead. Despite this setback, Carnevali maintains faith in manager Luciano Spalletti, believing he can turn the team around.

The Bianconeri remain committed to supporting the coach and ensuring his success. To achieve their goals for the season, Juventus must prioritize finishing in the top four. Failure to do so would have severe financial ramifications, especially following their loss of Champions League qualification last year. Carnevali emphasized the financial benefits of a top four finish and the negative impact of missing out this year.

He noted that while topping the table is the ultimate aim, the team must still prioritize the Champions League to avoid a "bloodbath."
