After losing a Champions League final seven years ago, Juventus were back at the Olympiastadion last Wednesday night.
This time round, the bianconeri came out of the pitch with happy faces as Capello’s side won the game and qualification to the next stage of the Champions League.
Alessandro Del Piero, who played and also scored during the 3-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the 1997 Champions League final, expressed his satisfaction at defeating Bayern Munich and praised his team mate, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for the great move he made which allowed Pinturicchio to score the winning goal.
“Scoring the goal and making the squad win on a pitch, that of the Olympiastadion, where we had lost a Champions League final, gave me joy and particular emotions.
“It was a great move by Ibrahimovic; I just had to be at the right place at the right time.”
Juventus will now be back to Serie A duties as they travel to Reggio Calabria to square up against home team, Reggina, as the bianconeri try to increase their lead at the top over Milan and Inter
