Il Pinturicchio

Champions League Group Stage - Juventus vs Real Madrid - 21st October 2008
Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Turin, Italy.

The famous #10 in the famous black and white stripes with a goal that summed up all his class. The little painter, il capitano is an icon amongst Bianconeri fans for the joy he brought over 19 seasons. During a time where Juve were regathering themselves after the Calciopoli scandal, the one bright spark were the dazzling displays of brilliance from Del Piero. Back in the Champions League in 2008, mixed in a group with Real Madrid, Del Piero's displays are something of legend both at home and away and this goal in Turin was all that. A first time touch on the outside of his foot for a one-two with Amauri and then a sublime first time curled finished with that magical right foot into the top corner leaving Casillas only to stare as the ball soared into his net. The celebration, deserved nothing more than the iconic tongue out celebration. A true magician at work.
