Pirlo was asked his top 4 team-mates that he ever played with.
1. Maldini
2. Baggio
3. Ronaldo
4. Shevchenko

No Ale.....
Does every single player need to mention Del Piero? What would be the fun in that? Moreover, he never really "played" with Ale; one season @ Juventus where Del Piero was reduced to a bit part role, and sporadic appearances in the Azzurri where Ale failed to shine don't really count.

Azzurri don't count, he played a lot with Del Piero through his time :D Anyway, his list is obivously cack, he listed Maldini as nr.1

The only question should be why did he include Ronaldo in that list and forgot Nesta.
Haha, now it makes sense, he was probably high at the time of the interview :D

Good game from him. I really thought he's gonna get marked out of the game but even though he was marked he had the influence we needed. :beer:

Good performance by Pirlo. Good work rate, good passing, one assist and a couple of dangerous shots that tested Cech. You could see that the Chelsea midfielders focused on closing down Pirlo the most, so this also has to be taken into consideration when judging Pirlo's performance tonight.

Yep. Although it would be a bit generous to add this factor to his performance rating, the fact that teams focus so much on shutting him down frees up our other players a lot.

Yup, and Pirlo did a good job of understanding that Chelsea were focused on him, so he could move the ball on with quite simple passes and take several Chelsea players out of the game.

He didn't need to do brilliant things to open space up.
