As we wave goodbye to another season of Serie A, Juventus can reminisce a wonderful campaign in which they claimed Scudetto glory and lost just once in all competitions.

But to score was the cherry on top. In the 28th minute, with Juve ahead 1-0 thanks to the up-and-coming Luca Marrone, Del Piero received a pass just...

Giancarlo Rinaldi — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:50:24 +0000

Roberto Mancini is used to confounding the critics. They said Sampdoria could never win the Scudetto – but he teamed up with Gianluca Vialli to prove them wrong.
