“I’ve celebrated alongside my team-mates, on the pitch, doing what I like most: winning,” an emotional del Piero said after leaving the pitch to a lengthy ovation.
What I saw in the supporters’ eyes was wonderful. There’s a unique rapport between us, for what we’ve gone through over the years, also in the most critical moment of the club’s history. Those who have always played for the same team gain people’s gratitude. I want to enjoy this moment.
Grazie, Alessandro: Del Piero's emotional farewell to Juventus
