Alessandro Del Piero played the leading role in the Champions League match against Rosenborg (1-1). The captain offered an outstanding performance and, after the event, still told about his regret for the game score: "Even few hour after, my deep sorrow for the opportunity wasted. The team performed excellently, I do believe that if we keep playing like that, very few points will be lost. Even top targets can be reached by our team. I like the group very much, we can do great even though facing such a wearing year as this is expected to be. In Trondheim we proved no injuries or bans can scare us".

Talking about bans. Juve-Roma, the challenge match seems like it's started already: "This match has never been a quiet one, but let's not rouse controversy on such matters" This the appeal by Juventus captain who concludes "This new controversies really represent a minor issue compared to those of the past matches of the sort". Only playing matters, all eager for a return match: "All this coming from Roma conquering the Championship title at the post - Del Piero explained - undoubtedly once further reason to be motivated".
