Furious Juventus fans are protesting against the Italian court's decision to dock the Serie A giants 15 points following an investigation into the club's transfer dealings.
With 20 games left to play in this season, Juventus were third in Serie A, 10 points adrift of leaders Napoli.
But the points deduction - ruled by the national football federation (FIGC) - pushes them down into mid-table, outside the spots for European competition.
