Del Piero’s former club were comprehensively beaten 3-0 at home in their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Madrid, and the legendary forward reflected on the result, as well as touching on Gianluigi Buffon and his own future in football.
“Real Madrid have the best midfield in the world,” the iconic ex-forward told Sky Sport Italia.
“They’re a chameleonic team, who know when to attack and when to defend.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in the world, he’s playing very well as a pure striker, but he’s actually a No 10 because he’s managing to excite everyone with how he’s playing.
“Dybala and Higuain? They’ll be criticised, but Navas made an unbelievable save on Higuain, while Paulo [Dybala] tried to do something.
“He and Douglas Costa were the only ones who could give anything extra. The first goal gave a lot to Real Madrid and took a lot away from Juventus.
“Allegri? He’s been praised many times for his decisions, but he could’ve changed something, having seen last year’s Final.
“Still, it must be said that Real Madrid are doing very well in this competition and they have an even-bigger stimulus of winning the Champions League three times in a row and making history.
“Putting all this behind them is difficult and the result is hard to take, but Juve have clear ideas and will get back on track.
“Buffon? I don’t know when he’ll stop playing, but certainly a champion must stop when he has no more passion for what he does, when he can’t improve any more and when they stop playing.
“My future? I haven’t decided yet, although coaching has become more and more stimulating for me, also because many of my generation are Coaches.”
