Pinturicchio reached Boniperti’s record of 182 goals last Wednesday night.
Thanks to the brace scored against Rapid Vienna, including a wonderfully executed free-kick, Alessandro Del Piero has become synonymous with the word goal at Juventus. The Bianconeri’s captain has in fact equalled Boniperti’s record of 182 goals scored with the black and white shirt and will now be setting his sights on the 200 goal milestone.
Following the match against Rapid, Del Piero expressed all of his joy for reaching such a target and being on par with a Juventus symbol and legend: Boniperti.
“I’m obviously very satisfied with the win over Rapid and with my two goals, with which I reached a symbolic player like Boniperti," declared an enthusiastic Del Piero.
