Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero has said the Italians still have a job to do in Madrid if they are to reach the final of the Champions League.

The Old Lady defeated Los Blancos 2-1 on Tuesday evening in Turin to take a slender lead into the second leg this week in the Spanish capital. Although Real lost, they do have the important away goal and will be confident of overcoming the Seria A champions in their own garden.

And speaking to the press on Friday, del Piero said it will take a team effort for Juventus to qualify for the Berlin final – their first since 2003 when the lost to AC Milan on penalties.

“These matches are fascinating. You don’t know who will be the key player. I hope that the team will be the key. It is impossible to win in a difficult stadium against very good players with no teamwork,” he is quoted as saying.

Del Piero played for Juventus from 1993 to 2012, scoring 239 goals in 705 appearances for the club. In his time at the club he was part of a side that won eight Seria A titles, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League. He left in 2012 to join Australian A-League side Sydney.
