Del Piero standing ovation
Alessandro Del Piero turned the clock back on Wednesday night with a virtuoso Champions League performance. The Italian striker, who is 34 today, grabbed two goals as Juventus defeated Real Madrid 2-0 in Spain.
The video highlights show both strikes, including the second-half free-kick which sealed the points for Juve. You’ll also be able to see the incredible reaction of the home fans to Del Piero’s performance. Despite being the architect of Real’s downfall, the Bernabéu crowd rose as one to applaud him off the pitch when he was substituted in injury time.

A standing ovation, eh? Never let it be said that racists aren’t generous. :-)
