Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin says their points deduction has united the players.

Juve were hit by a 15 point penalty due to financial mismanagement by the previous board.

Perin said: “This situation has united us a lot. On the day of the verdict, we talked on WhatsApp, then also the next day in the dressing room. We told each other what we had to do to deal with this particular moment.

“Then on the pitch we turned words into deeds. We used this crisis to give us energy. We have always looked at the table with what we have done on the pitch, we work for a result.

"This ruling is there, and we cannot pretend nothing is wrong, but in points we are second."
