Andrea Barzagli (90+1' - Penalty) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Gabriele Gava Attendance: 36000 Conte: 'We still need Del Piero' May 13, 2012 Antonio Conte thanked Alessandro Del Piero, prepares Juventus for the Coppa Italia and confirms Giorgio Chiellini has a suspected thigh strain. The Bianconeri finished off the Serie A season unbeaten, becoming only the second ever team to win the title without a single defeat. They are the first in a 38-round League, as Fabio Capello’s Milan in 1991-92 were facing only 17 other teams. “It is hugely satisfying for me and the players. It has been a fantastic season,” said the Coach after a 3-1 win over Atalanta. “Finishing it unbeaten was astounding and nobody can ever overtake us. The most they can ever do is match our achievement.” It was also a moving afternoon in Turin, as Del Piero said goodbye after 19 years at Juventus. “I am moved by Del Piero, as he represents something indelible. He is the history of Juventus. That is thanks to the player and the man, so I can only thank him. Alex must also be a protagonist in the Coppa Italia Final in Rome.” That match against Napoli next Sunday evening will be Del Piero’s last official match for the Bianconeri. There were some concerns before the final whistle, as Chiellini over-stretched and limped off in tears, leading some to suspect he might even miss out on Euro 2012. “It was a thigh twinge and he will certainly be out of the Coppa Italia Final, but needs more tests,” said Conte. “We must relish these moments of joy and tattoo them in our minds so that we’ll do anything to experience them again in future. Our growth has been extraordinary considering where the team started.” http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Andrea Barzagli (90+1' - Penalty) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Gabriele Gava Attendance: 36000 Del Piero: 'I am so proud' May 13, 2012 Alessandro Del Piero said his farewell was “an incredible moment, as my ties to the fans go beyond anything. I am happy and proud.” The Juventus captain played his final Serie A match today, scoring a goal in the 3-1 victory over Atalanta and lifting the Scudetto trophy. “It was an incredible moment,” he said of his lap of honour as tears flooded from people in the stands. “My ties to the fans go beyond anything and I want to thank them. I am happy and proud today. It is an incredibly wonderful day. “Of course there is also sadness, but it’s a moment to treasure, because I celebrated with the fans on the field and I cannot add anything more. I am truly proud. “I am focusing on this because I don’t want to feel that sadness and I have to prepare for Sunday’s Coppa Italia Final against Napoli.” Del Piero has stated he will not be retiring just yet, so could be heading to the American MLS or the English Premier League. “There’s a lifetime ahead of me to work as a director. I am in good shape, I was born to play football and as long as I can do that, I’m happy. “Would I like to play in England? I’ve always said you experience football in a fantastic way there. However, I haven’t discussed a transfer for 19 years, so I’m a bit out of the loop on what to do!” http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Andrea Barzagli (90+1′ - Penalty) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Gabriele Gava Attendance: 36000 La Grande Juve: Antonio Conte's men join the greats of Calcio with invincible season The Old Lady completed the 2011-12 season unbeaten, marking them out as one of the most remarkable outfits in Serie A history. May 13, 2012 COMMENT By Kris Voakes | Italian Football Editor There were few tears, truth be told. Juventus’ 2010-11 season ended with a 2-2 draw at home to Napoli which ensured that they would miss out on the Europa League in the campaign ahead. In 2011-12, there would be no Stadio Olimpico, no Luigi Del Neri and no continental football. But it didn’t bother them one bit. Little did Juve fans realise it at the time, but the ‘losses’ they experienced over those few days would become key factors behind one of the most successful seasons in Italian football history. They knew that a new stadium, new coach and a few free midweeks may well help their cause in the pursuit of a return to greatness, but this term has exceeded all expectations. They still have the Coppa Italia final to go next Sunday, but the one trophy they already have has been attained in a way dissimilar to all but one team of the past. When Ilario Castagner’s Perugia finished second in Serie A in 1978-79, they did so becoming the first club ever to remain unbeaten in an Italian top-flight campaign. The great AC Milan went one better by achieving the feat as champions 13 years later. OTHER INVINCIBLES 1889-90 Preston North End 1929-30 Athletic Bilbao 1931-32 Madrid CF 1942-43 Dresdner SC 1972-73 Benfica 1977-78 Benfica 1978-79 Perugia 1991-92 AC Milan 1994-95 Ajax 2003-04 Arsenal 2010-11 Porto 2011-12 Juventus Two decades on, and it is Antonio Conte who has emulated Fabio Capello by winning the title in his first year in charge without a single defeat to his name. What’s more, it has been a picture-book season for the Old Lady. With Juventus Stadium rocking, new players adding steel and style, and Conte’s relentlessness ensuring there was no let up, the fans could have been forgiven for even realising there was no European football. Those who were missing it realised it was a small price to pay. Juve were flying. THE OLD LADY REMAINS UNBOWED There was a rocky spell when their season-long inability to make the most of their superior football resulted in a string of draws, but their response was to rack up their greatest run of the campaign. Ten wins in their final 11 games clinched a 28th official Scudetto and set them apart from any club in history. Milan just couldn’t keep up. A great defensive record has been achieved without them necessarily having a great back line. To add to that, they have beaten 16 of the 19 teams put in front of them without having the most convincing of strikers. Everything they have achieved, they have achieved together. They’ve defended as a team, attacked as a team, won as a team and, well .... drawn as a team. It has been quite a 12 months since that second successive seventh-place finish, and the year ahead will have plenty of twists and turns in store. But whatever happens to the Old Lady either domestically or on the continent in 2012-13, nobody can ever take away what Conte and his players have achieved this season. By beating Atalanta this afternoon amidst a party atmosphere, they have gone down in history. Very few clubs in football history can claim to have gone a whole year without a league loss, and on Tuesday the Bianconeri will celebrate that feat. When Sebastian Giovinco was lifted aloft by his Parma team-mates after scoring the winner at the Ennio Tardini on May 15 last year, few could have foreseen the magnificence to come. The reward for their Scudetto crown is a place in the Champions League, which they have failed to grace in over two and a half years. The unbeaten achievement gains them only a place in a record book, but it can’t ever be wiped out. It will stay forever in black and white, and may well always be remembered as the moment Juve blasted back. It is their first title since Calciopoli, as well as a superb response to two very difficult seasons. The Scudetto would have been enough, but the fact they achieved it without a single defeat makes it a sensational statement of intent. Juventus have returned, and are doing their damnedest to achieve the kind of greatness even their miraculous history has never previously known. This version of the Bianconeri are history makers of a whole new breed. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Andrea Barzagli (90+1′ - Penalty) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Gabriele Gava Attendance: 36000 Juventus complete the Serie A season unbeaten following home win over Atalanta The Bianconeri's 3-1 victory means they have become the third team in Italian history not to lose a single game all season, and the first in a 38-game campaign. May 13, 2012 Juventus beat Atalanta 3-1 in their final league game of the season to record only the third ever unbeaten campaign in Serie A history. Goals from Luca Marrone, departing club captain Alessandro Del Piero and Andrea Barzagli defeated Stefano Colantuono's side and saw the Bianconeri record their 38th game this term without defeat. They become the first team to complete the season unbeaten in a 20-team Serie A, with Perugia chalking up the first such record in a 30-game campaign in 1978-79 and AC Milan's 1991-92 achievement coming over 34 matches. Juve have won 23 and drawn 15 of their 38 games this term, and including their 2-2 draw against Napoli on the final day of last season, they are now unbeaten in 39 matches stretching back to a 1-0 defeat at Parma on May 15, 2011. Antonio Conte is yet to preside over a loss since taking over as Juventus coach last May, with a 2-1 defeat to Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg their only loss over 90 minutes, and even then a 2-2 draw after extra-time saw them progress to next week's final against Napoli in Rome. The departing Del Piero was given a fantastic ovation when he was substituted in the 57th minute, spending several minutes taking the fans' applause as he made a lap of honour with the gap still being played. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 38 - 13-5-2012 (3:00 p.m.) 3 - 1 Luca Marrone (10′) Alessandro Del Piero (28′) Stephan Lichtsteiner (83′ - O.G.) Andrea Barzagli (90+1′ - Penalty) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Gabriele Gava Attendance: 36000‎ Del Piero seals Juve record in final game May 13, 2012 Alessandro Del Piero marked his final league appearance for Juventus with a goal as the champions preserved their unbeaten Serie A record with a final-day victory at home to Atalanta. Del Piero, who after 20 years' illustrious service will leave the Turin club on the expiry of his contract this summer, slotted home Juve's second of the afternoon after Luca Marrone had opened the scoring. Andrea Barzagli's penalty completed the victory for the hosts in stoppage time after Atalanta had been given late hope thanks to Stephan Lichtsteiner's own goal. Juve won their 28th Scudetto last weekend when nearest challengers AC Milan lost 4-2 at Inter Milan and the Bianconeri defeated Cagliari 2-0. And the celebrations intensified today as Juve secured the result they needed to join Perugia and AC as the only clubs to have gone undefeated through an entire Serie A season. Juventus still have one more date in their diary this term - the Coppa Italia final against Napoli in Rome next weekend - where 37-year-old Del Piero, the club's all-time record goalscorer, will have chance to make another fitting farewell to the Turin faithful. The hosts wasted little time getting the title celebrations in full swing today as they took the lead after 10 minutes, Marco Borriello playing in Marrone who did the rest with a clinical finish high into the net. And with 28 minutes on the clock it was two, Emanuele Giaccherini with the assist on this occasion as Del Piero picked up on the ball and lashed a low drive into the bottom-left corner from outside the box. Giorgio Frezzolini then denied the hosts a third with a good save from Borriello on 47 minutes. Atalanta finally threatened at the other end after 65 minutes when Giacomo Buonaventura's drive towards the top-right corner was brilliantly saved by Marco Storari. The visitors were right back in it on 83 minutes when Lichtsteiner deflected the ball into his own net, but Juve calmed any jitters in the first minute of injury time when Thomas Manfredini fouled Borriello in the area and Barzagli tucked home the resulting penalty. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Andrea Barzagli (90+1′ - Penalty) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Gabriele Gava Attendance: 36000‎ Del Piero leaves unbeaten Juve with a goal Juventus ended the campaign unbeaten and with Alessandro Del Piero on target for his emotional farewell, but Giorgio Chiellini picked up an injury.. May 13, 2012 Juventus ended the campaign unbeaten and with Alessandro Del Piero on target for his emotional farewell, but Giorgio Chiellini picked up an injury. The Bianconeri kicked off their Scudetto celebrations, which would continue after the game with the trophy presentation and an open-topped bus driving through the streets of Turin. There was also sadness in the air, as Del Piero wore the captain’s armband for the last time in a Serie A match. Paolo De Ceglie was injured and Arturo Vidal suspended, but Coach Antonio Conte gave rare starts to Marco Storari, Luca Marrone, Marcelo Estigarribia and Simone Padoin. They hoped to make history by becoming only the second team ever to win the Scudetto by going unbeaten. The other was Fabio Capello’s Milan in 1991-92, but that was a 34-round campaign. Atalanta were already safe from the drop, though Guglielmo Stendardo was suspended with Matteo Brighi, Guido Marilungo, Daniele Capelli and Andrea Consigli sidelined. In the opening minutes Storari had his palms stung by a German Denis bullet header, but it was Juventus who broke the deadlock with one of their youngsters. Marco Borriello’s backheel flick set up Luca Marrone for a screamer from just within the box that ricocheted in off the inside of the near post. It was the youth product’s debut Serie A goal on his fifth appearance. Simone Padoin robbed a defender and had time to shoot from seven yards, but opted to roll across for a crowded-out Del Piero instead and the chance went begging. Naturally, Del Piero had to score at the Juventus Stadium on his last game! It was a well-taken strike, exchanging passes with Emanuele Giaccherini to drill in from the D. There were moving scenes as he was enveloped by teammates for his 289th goal in a Bianconeri jersey, the 188th in Serie A. Denis had the opportunity to pull one back after dribbling past two defenders, but blasted over with only Storari to beat. After the restart Borriello’s angled drive was well held after he showed his strength to shrug off challenges. There was a standing ovation from the fans as Del Piero was substituted, receiving hugs from all his teammates and keeping his cool in what was a hugely emotional occasion. The captain did not shed a tear, but many fans in the Juventus Stadium did and he walked round the edge of the pitch picking up the many scarves thrown from the stands. After 10 minutes of walking round, the tears finally formed in his eyes. Meanwhile, Atalanta hit the upright as Simone Bonaventura’s strike was fingertipped on to the woodwork by Storari. Stephan Lichtsteiner accidentally put the ball in his own net to give Atalanta a chance to get back into the game, prodding Bellini’s cross in from four yards when trying to clear. Soon after, Giorgio Chiellini seemed to over-stretch and could well have suffered a groin strain. He limped off the field in tears and this could be a serious injury, perhaps one that could rule him out of Euro 2012. In the final minute Juventus were awarded a penalty for Stefano Lucchini’s handling offence, which was fired under the bar by Andrea Barzagli.

Serie A Week 38 - 13-5-2012 (3:00 p.m.) 3 - 1 Luca Marrone (10′) Alessandro Del Piero (28′) Stephan Lichtsteiner (83′ - O.G.) Andrea Barzagli (90+1′ - Penalty) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Gabriele Gava Attendance: 36000‎ Del Piero bids farewell to Serie A with goal as champions end season with incredible unbeaten record The legendary trequartista marked his last outing for the Bianconeri with a trademark curling, finding the bottom left corner with a 25-yard shot just before the half-hour. May 13, 2012 Juventus became only the third team to go through an entire Serie A season undefeated as they defeated Atalanta 3-1 in Turin on Sunday afternoon. Luca Marrone opened the scoring for the Bianconeri before Alessandro Del Piero brought the house down by marking his final league game for the Old Lady with a 28th-minute strike. A Stephan Lichtsteiner own goal gave Atalanta late hope of snatching a draw but Andrea Barzagli ensured that Juventus ended their unblemished campaign on a winning note by firing home an injury-time penalty. Atalanta actually made the brighter start at Juventus Stadium, with German Denis drawing a reaction save out of Marco Storari with a near-post header from a Gianpaolo Bellini cross after just three minutes of play. However, it was Juve who opened the scoring, Marrone unleashing a fearsome drive which clipped the post on its way past an understandably stationary Giorgio Frezzolini. It was a blistering strike from the 22-year-old midfielder but much of credit for the goal had to go to Marco Borriello, who had surged into the area before cleverly backheeling the ball into the path of the onrushing Marrone. The Bianconeri very nearly doubled their advantage on 16 minutes but Simone Padoin unwisely tried to tee up Del Piero after breaking into the area when he really should have gone for goal himself. The World Cup winner, of course, has never needed any help finding the back of the net and he took the opportunity to underline as much just before the half-hour mark. Collecting a lay-off from Emanuele Giaccherini some 25 yards out, Del Piero set himself before curling the ball into the bottom left corner of the Atalanta net the poise and precision Juventus fans have become so accustomed to over the past 19 years. Atalanta really should have pulled a goal back on the half-hour mark but Denis fired horribly over the bar after bursting into the box and past Leonardo Bonucci. As it was, Juventus reached the interval with their two-goal advantage intact and they thus treated the remainder of the game as nothing more than an exhibition game for their No. 10. Indeed, events on the field during the second half became a mere sideshow to the extended lap of honour Del Piero undertook shortly after being subbed on 57 minutes. Atalanta, though, did make a game of it when Lichsteiner diverted a cross from Bellini past his own goalkeeper, but Juventus, fittingly, had the final say, with Barzagli converting from the spot after substitute Fabio Quagliarella had been pulled down in the box by Thomas Manfredini. The party really began thereafter, as the Serie A trophy was then presented to Juventus, who can now record a double by beating Napoli in the Coppa Italia final in Rome next weekend. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/
