After the announcement that Alessandro Del Piero will be leaving Juventus at the end of the season In The Stands looks back to some of the finest of the Italian’s goals.
205 goals in 495 matches is a record which must be noted with appreciation especially given that it emerged from Serie A – one of the most notoriously defensive leagues.
From stunning freekicks, luscious curlers, wonderful long distance strikes, awesome assists, it is fair to say the the Juve legend does not do ordinary as In The Stands’ tribute to the 36-year-old Italian proves.
This being so, Juventus’s all-time leading goalscorer has scored some true blockbusters over the past 19 years and In The Stands chronicles some of his finest ones.
Del Piero Goal; Juventus 2-1 Real Madrid, 2008
‘Del Piero destroys Real‘ read the Spanish newspapers as Juventus ripped into Real Madrid in Turin to keep alive their hopes of qualification from the 2008 group stages.
Step forward Alessandro Del Piero who after blasting the opener in Turin proceeded to net twice in the return match at the Santiago Bernabeu and rightly be applauded off by a stunned Madrid crowd. Wow!
Del Piero Goal vs Germany, World Cup Semi-Final 2006
Del Piero came off the bench to seal a 2-0 win for Italy in an utterly memorable semi-final tussle with Germany in 2006. The goal was his first and only goal as the Azzurri duly went on to lift their 4th World Crown.
Juventus v River Plate, Intercontinental Cup, 1996
Juventus overcame a River Plate side featuring the likes of Ariel Ortega, Julio Cruz, Marcelo Salas and Enzo Francescoli with, guess who…Alessandro Del Piero grabbing the winner nine minutes from time as the Old Lady conquered the world.
Del Piero Freekick vs Inter Milan, 2006
It is well known that Del Piero is a freekick and penalty master. So when Fabio Capello’s men were tied 1-1 with title rivals Inter Milan at the San Siro, the Nerazzurri should have thought better than to give away a freekick on the edge of the box.
Up stepped Del Piero, ‘swoosh’ went the home net and bang went Inter Milan’s Serie A hopes for another season as Juve triumphed 2-1. Simply fantastic.
And here is a general compilation of the father of two; watch specifically for his stupidly good freekick against Zenit St Petersburg and Roma respectively.
