Del Piero double rocks Real
Italian star rolls back the years as Juve top group
By Ben Collins Last updated: 5th November 2008

A brilliant brace by Alessandro Del Piero gave Juventus a convincing win at Real Madrid and put the Italians in control of Group H.

The home side bossed possession throughout but were frustrated by Juve's stubborn resistance, which allowed the Serie A giants to complete a Champions League double over Real.

Del Piero's 17th-minute strike gave Juve the lead against the run of play before the former Italy international stunned the Bernabeu into silence with a trademark free-kick in the 67th minute.

The 33-year-old has rolled back the years in this season's competition, with this double taking his tally to four goals in four games.

And the manner in which Juve comfortably disposed of the Spanish champions suggests the Bianconeri could be challenging for a third European title this term.

Royston Drenthe was given his second start of the season for Real after Arjen Robben was injured in the warm-up, while Swedish defender Olof Mellberg came in for his first Champions League start for Juve.

Recalled midfielder Guti hit an early effort straight at Juve goalkeeper Alex Manninger, while Wesley Sneijder and Mahamadou Diarra were both off target.

Surprise opener
Juve then snatched the lead from their only shot in the first half as Guti gave the ball away cheaply to Marco Marchionni inside his own half, and ex-Juve defender Fabio Cannavaro backed off Del Piero, allowing his former team-mate to fire home left-footed from 25 yards.

Real missed a glorious chance to draw level when Sneijder's left-wing cross found Sergio Ramos completely unmarked at the far post, only for the Real right-back to volley into the ground and over the crossbar.

Real striker Ruud van Nistelrooy returned from a knee injury and fired his first shot narrowly over in the 37th minute, and although Guti's exquisite through-ball sent Drenthe clear, Mellberg recovered well to snuff out the young Dutch winger.

Diarra headed wide unmarked from Drenthe's cross as Real finished the half strongly, before Drenthe fired into the side-netting shortly after the restart.

Tempers began to flare as Real had strong penalty shouts turned down for shoves by Giorgio Chiellini on Van Nistelrooy and Nicola Legrottaglie on Raul.

The hosts just could not find a way through the visitors' defence, though, and Del Piero left Real keeper Iker Casillas looking foolish as he swept a 30-yard free-kick over the wall and inside Casillas' right-hand post.

The closest Real went to pulling one back was when substitute Gonzalo Higuain was unable to turn Drenthe's low cross goalwards at the back post, although Del Piero almost claimed his hat-trick before being applauded off by the home crowd late on.

i have a very nice dp compilation in the works, but more about his skills and technique, already lots of videos about his goals
Yeah I would like this way more, even if I appriciate the goals. Alot of footie greatness ignored just because it didnt have the clinching finish.

Thats for example I loved that clip that showed Del Piero's last season, in every neat and sweet thing he did, moves, dribbles, passes, runs etc. PLUS the goals. And not JUST the goals like every else did about his last season.

The guy who did is an amazing clips creator, esoesgallo, true artist in this field. For some reason youtube hunts him down and removed most of his stuff, forced him to change names over and over again, but they fuck with him every time :p

They dont matter as much (even if most of his music is scenic theme in a way for the clip), but how he mixes footages, and really finds the best moments most others ignore, is absolutely amazing. Not just chooses goals, but picks moments and webs them together brilliantly. Really has a keen of editing it to the points its near art.

Dont mean only the one of last season. He has done dozens of Ale (but done dozens of players, his Giovinco stuff is my favourite too), think he is a Juventino, or must be with so much Juve oriented material.

For example what I mean with editing in a way that finds every little neat and great touch of a player, instead of the highlight goals, this one of Ale's skills is really amazing:

Btw, i heard that Del Piero is only 5 goals from breaking Boniperti's record and become the player with most goals scored for Juve in serie A. Can anyone confirm this ?
Boniperti has 178 goals in 444 Serie A games.

Del Piero has 157 goals in 376 Serie A games.
