Del Piero: How we beat Real… Friday 11 March, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alessandro Del Piero has revealed the secret behind Juventus’ defeat of Real Madrid in the Champions’ League.
The Bianconeri dumped the Spaniards out of Europe on Wednesday, after transforming a 1-0 first leg defeat into a 2-1 aggregate victory.
"We overturned the result of the first match despite the scepticism of some," he said via his personal website.
"It wasn’t an easy task. I think that our great determination and humility made the difference on the night.
"We were able to transform our tension into concentration, plus we had the belief in ourselves until the very end.
"It was a fantastic night in a packed and hot stadium, the joy of having achieved what we did was just incredible."
The Bianconeri captain didn’t play a major role in the game though, being replaced in the 57th minute by David Trezeguet.
That substitution made the difference as the Frenchman netted to take the game into extra-time, before Marcelo Zalayeta blasted home the winner.
