Pirlo Looking Forward To Juve Clash

Milan star Andrea Pirlo is excited about this weekend’s match with Juventus and believes there will be a special atmosphere at San Siro.

This will be the first time that Italy’s two biggest clubs will have met competitively since the infamous Calciopoli crisis in 2006. 

The scandal saw Juve relegated to Serie B, while Milan were handed a heavy points penalty.  The Bianconeri have since returned to the top-flight and have made an impressive start to the campaign. 

“The game with Juventus is a historical match,” said Pirlo.

“I believe it will be a beautiful game with a very special atmosphere. “It is nice to see Juventus return to Serie A.” 

Pirlo also commented on his brilliant free-kick winner against Cagliari yesterday afternoon. 

“I always try to prefect the way I hit my free-kicks, sometimes they go well and sometimes they go bad,” said Pirlo. 

“Yesterday the goalkeeper moved with the movement of the ball, the trajectory then changed and so it went well.”
