Gigi Del Neri is glad Verona bowed out by beating champions Juventus on Luca Toni’s swansong.

Hellas were already relegated, but still surprised the Scudetto winners 2-1 at the Stadio Bentegodi.

“It’s not the first time we have played this well. The problem with knowing every match is must-win and the Last Chance Saloon is that it drains you,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

“It’s not the first time we have played this well. The problem with knowing every match is must-win and the Last Chance Saloon is that it drains you,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.

“This evening the team was very focused, balanced and allowed Juve very little. We also hit the woodwork.

“Leaving the pitch with our heads held high is the most important thing right now. We were unlucky this season and paid a heavy price for errors against Frosinone and Carpi.”

It was also Toni’s final Serie A match before retirement and he was given a standing ovation.

“I was glad to give him that moment, as he deserves it for all he has given to Verona and Italian football.”
