Despite not figuring prominently over the course of the Scudetto-winning campaign, Bianconeri legend Alessandro Del Piero still offered an important contribution as Antonio Conte’s men brought the championship back to Turin for the first time in six years.
The 2011/12 season saw the captain make 23 appearances, play a total of 581 minutes and chip in with three vital goals. The first of these wrapped up a 2-0 victory over rivals Inter at Juventus Stadium. This was then followed by a sensational free-kick over Lazio, tipping an evenly poised encounter back in Juve’s favour. The third, in the final Serie A game of the season against Atalanta, gave the fans a moment to treasure.
It was the culmination of an incredible love story spanning nineteen years. Grown men had tears in their eyes as Alex made his way around the pitch, thanking the fans for the magnificent support which had led a starry-eyed youngster from San Vendemiano to become Juve’s greatest player of all time.
