The Spin

Narrative A

While there is some uncertainty due to the necessity for the ruling to be upheld by the appeals court, the result is a reason for Juventus and its supporters to be happy. Now the club is suddenly back in Champions League contention. While worries will continue to linger, the decision should be celebrated while it continues to stand.

Narrative B

The latest ruling is the worst possible scenario for Serie A. Soccer standings for many clubs will not be decided on the pitch for the rest of the season, and any definitive results cannot be expected until the end of the season. In reality, it would've been much better if the committee ruled one way or the other, instead of keeping Italian soccer in a limbo.
