He was the face of UCL, generations now and later will never know how iconic he was to Italian football and European football. He’s the first player to come to mind when I think of Italy 🇮🇹
Depends on whether you mean a perfect copy or a painting just as good (or better) as the Mona Lisa, both of which exist in abundance. There's only one Alessandro Del Piero though.
He scored his first UCL goal in the same stadium and spot of his last goal for Italy national team, in the 2006 world cup semifinal against Germany. Legend
The man, the myth, the legend, the symbol of bianconeri and Italia, the man who is my idol and the man whom I first fell in love with football because of him, ALESSANDRO DEL P1ER0 ❤️❤️❤️
Having both Zidane and Del Piero in the same team is just unfair for the opposition. His dribbling and set pieces were so unique though, amazing talent. And it seems he was super motivated when playing against Real Madrid because almost all of his goals against them were a thing of beauty
90-2000 best period in football story. A lot of talents everywhere! Del Piero: UCL, Intercontinental Cup (with goal) World Cup (with goal in semi and final), a lot of serie A Titles, best scorer in UCL and Serie A. Ever in the same team. A true legend, a true gentleman. One of best all time.
yep! He played alongside many greats (Zidane, Ibra, Nedved) but he eclipsed most of them (except for Nedved maybe).... Him and Nedved are my all-time Juve players... from that era anyway
@@silversurfer3806 as a Manchester UTD fan I would agree. Juve were the most feared team in Europe at the time and should have won more. The ‘98 final in particular was a tough loss. The semifinal in Turin in ‘99 is probably MU greatest European night
@@mcgannpster anyway we lose almost all the finals of champions. it's a curse. we won 2 and lost 7 and i mean 7 ahahahaha. how about "our" cristiano ronaldo"? xoxo
man i am 35 and this dude was my childhood hero. I live in Turkey and not all football games were on TV in this years. I was calling myself as del piero when we were playing football on street every time. Other guys even didnt have idea about who he is lol
Da milanista, quando giocavano i vari Totti o, appunto, Del Piero, mi veniva molto più facile il fare il tifo per TUTTE le italiane in Europa; ora com'è ora, non ci riesco più, e poi, comunque sia, anche loro due mi rimarranno imperdonabili per sempre: uno ci ha fatto andare a Rotterdam per niente, e l'altro ha fatto di tutto per farci perdere la finale.
Now people call GOAT to one out of ten players, But in reality there were several legends in the world and he was one of them. He influenced so many people on and off the pitch. Great Alessandro Del Piero
Periodi in cui , anche da tifoso del Napoli, si tifava Juve in Europa .... Questo credo solo perché indossavano quella maglia giocatori che abbattevano barriere di tutti i tipi .... Sicuramente Alessandro Del Piero uno di questi ....
For sure - Late 90s early 00s was peak football for me - so many genuine legends around that time - Ronaldo R9, Zidane, Rivaldo, Figo, Henry, Bergkamp, Davids, Seeforf, Del Peiro, Totti, Van Nistelrooy, Keane, Vieira, Romario, Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Beckham, Raul, Redondo, Cannavaro, Batistuta, Rui Costa, Roberto Carlos, Cafu etc etc etc
People must know that the first 5 goals were in his first 5 matches, all in that way, since then called "Del Piero's way"; Juve eventually won that CL. I remember all these goals and I remember where I was and where I felt, especially the very 1st one, at Borussia, the first and the most beautyful one. Del Piero had magic in his football, when generally footballers had magic in single gestures and not in numbers. It was another football. Del Piero was one of its prophets. At that freekick n. 38, I was at the stadium, exactly in the zone of the direction of the shot. Nobody was thinking that he could have thought to shoot from that far, and nobody would think he had still when the ball was halfway in the air. Epic
He started playing with Juve when there still was R. Baggio; then he was the new golden boy… then he played with Zidane to Buffon… 2 decades. From Seria A to Serie B. Very loyal.
Goal number 2 vs Steaua is and always will be my favourite goal ever. I was a kid and I just could not believe that a goal like that could be possible. It is for this reason that no other goal will take that place in my heart.
Absolute genius, the best in his generation and one of the best among the next, could score masterpieces until 2015. Unfortunately Juventus management didn't let Alex finish his career decently.
Unlike many free kick masters, Del Piero didn't have a specific way and technique.. that's why he showed the beckham bends, juninho arrows, baggio's,... that's so tricky for goalkeepers.. his creativity was superb..
It's amazing to see how many strikers he played with. So many amazing players came and went but Del Piero was still there, still had to win his spot with the team. From Vialla Ravenelli in early days to Vieri to even Henry and Inzaghi Trezeguet Ibra Mutu Di Vaio Matri Luca Toni Vucinic and probably several others. All had few yrs here n there but he stayed on in first team or sometimes off the bench but always in and scoring till last season. What an amazing career. My fav was his 2000 to 2010 partnership with Trezeguet. No other team in that decade or since has played 2 classic strikers together for so long. They just complemented each other's game so much
One of biggest set piece threats I've ever seen. His game was way more than free kicks but in that specific department his ability to deliver in crunch moments and overall consistency was just unbeliavable.
the kid me, was falling in love with football because of him ♥️ if we talk abt loyalty, he is the best with all achievement he could give. the best indeed
❤❤❤❤ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO , DAL VENETO FINO IN Europa. Merci Alex Del Piero ,appelé par les Italiens "Le Pinturicchio." Joueur extraordinaire pour la squadra azzurra.
L'unico juventino insieme a Trezeguet che ho sempre rispettato. E mi riempie il cuore che sia stato decisivo nel mondiale e che lo abbia vinto. Leggenda!
He is the second best italian striker in UCL history, only behind Pippo Inzaghi, who was a pure front striker N 9. This makes you understand how legendary Alessandro Del Piero was
One thing that gets lost over time is that goals number 39, 40, and 41 were all scored within two weeks of each other against Real Madrid. I've never been a Juventus supporter, but I have always love Ale.
A truly OUTSTANDING player. Modern day legend. Poster on my wall in my childhood. Gazzetta Football Italia, every weekend. Thanks for the memories.. Ali!
Il formait un duo exceptionnel avec Trezeguet ! Meilleur joueur que Zidane... Il est aux côtés de Baggio et Totti au Panthéon des meilleurs joueurs Italiens 90-2000. Tellement sous-côté.
Un MAESTRO delle punizioni. I gol "alla Del Piero", dopo il brutto infortunio ha avuto un calo per anni ma poi è tornato a deliziare i tifosi. Non tifo per la Juventus ma Del Piero è una leggenda sia in campo che fuori dal campo. Professionista e serio. Una bandiera della sua squadra. Quel gol di tacco in una finale difficile di Coppa Campioni, è stato fenomenale.
To score a backheel goal like that, in the CL final to win the trophy, at the age of 21... Del Piero was something else man. So sad we coudln't see his full potential because of that vicious injury.
Great player inside the field, great man outside the field. È stato un privilegio per me averti come riferimento dentro e fuori dal campo, grazie capitano.
UCL goals or highlight reel that's how classy just about all his goals were. Free kicking master-class. His goal in 2006 World Cup semi final against Germany in last minutes of extra time was one of my greatest memories
He was the face of UCL, generations now and later will never know how iconic he was to Italian football and European football. He’s the first player to come to mind when I think of Italy 🇮🇹

At least 80% of these were wondergoals. Some of the long range free kicks are mind boggling.
The ball curved twice.. how on earth he did that? Not even beckham or pirlo could pull something like that.
@@bedugwarteg5486well Beckham is overrated. Pirlo is a sniper but from shorter distance.
Del Piero is the maestro of free kicks.
Nearly all his goals are spectecular. This is unbelivable. He is a real legend.
90's football is so underrated, miss those times. Del Piero surely one of the greatest, his shooting ability was next to none.
Won the World Cup and champions league. Great achievement
Underrated from kids that can’t even imagine how many legends we had around the world.
90 till early 2000 was the best time of football history.
it's not underrated, it's been been forgotten because of overrated pseudo achievements by messi fans. statistics kills beauty of real football

He was in the same Juventus side as Zidane yet was Juve's best player. Kids won't understand how good he was.
yep! He played alongside many greats (Zidane, Ibra, Nedved) but he eclipsed most of them (except for Nedved maybe).... Him and Nedved are my all-time Juve players... from that era anyway

The man who made me love the beautiful game.
I remember the UCL 95/96 i was 15 years old. me and my brothers watched all juventus matches untill the title.
Same, it was all on TV for us, no subscription. The free kick goal against Rangers blew my mind, will never forget that goal
This is insane.
My GOAT for sure 😭😭
He was such an effortless player.
Truly one of a kind.

ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO IS G.O.A.T FOREVER,,UNTIL PRESENT TIME HE IS STILL GREAT. WHAT A GENIUS FOOTBALLER.👍
His free kicks were outstanding 😮
90-2000 was the best years of football. Del Piero was so underrated. Every single goal was a masterpiece. We haven't goal like this now.
Del Piero and Zlatan were such a good striker pairing, perfect compliments. A shame it didnt last longer
Grande grande amazing his touch and shoooots🎉
Today you would need just a couple of this stunning goals to be worth 200 billions and be considered a GOAT
So true.
Unlike many free kick masters, Del Piero didn't have a specific way and technique.. that's why he showed the beckham bends, juninho arrows, baggio's,... that's so tricky for goalkeepers..
his creativity was superb..
Ma che roba è. Davvero da interista ... Ma che talento è... Roba da matti Alex, oggi quanto caxxo varrebbe uno con quel talento....
Ci vorrebbe un nuovo Del Piero per la nazionale!!
A pensare a quanta mediocrità c'è in giro adesso... 🙄🙄🙄
