Roma and Liverpool are actually rivals.

Congrats to Del Piero. With 2 goals he scored against Catania on Saturday, Del Piero broke record of number of goals one player scored for single Italian team. He scored 284 for Juventus in all competitions, one more than Inter Milan legend Giuseppe Meazza.

The problem is he always misfired when it came to the Italian national team . Otherwise a True legend in World football .

Those two misses in the Euro 2000 final...

Oh please ,don't remind me those misses and that match , that's even worse than the moment I experienced when Riise put it in his own net against Chelsea in April 2008 .

Btw , are you a fan of Italy ?

 

[Auwais]

Sort of. I supported them in 2006 after the Calciopoli fiasco.

Many congratulations to AC Milan. Am just happy that Inter's run has ended.

Finally, Inter's dominance is over! Congrats to AC Milan.

Well played Milan , thoroughly deserved the title . But I just wished they lost yesterday to aspire Roma's Champions League hopes . Still , my second favorite Italian side won the title , so pretty happy about it .

----------

Yes ! Lazio are losing at the Friuli though its only 35 minutes on the clock .
Head to Head favors Roma !

----------

Woops , Udinese leapfrog Roma if they win tonight .

----------

And finally , this just doesn't help Roma's cause to finish 4th

The Italian clubs definitely need to do better in the Champions League and even the Europa League next season.

Andrea Pirlo happy to stay at champions AC Milan - ESPN Soccernet

Hope the great man doesn't go. To me injuries have slowed him down in recent years along with Milan decline. But once fully fit, he is still as good as Xavi as a mid-fielder IMO & could play a big part in Milan being a force in Europe again, once they sign fresh players.

Juventus sign AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo on a three-year contract - report - Goal.com

 

[Haarithan]

Akash , goal.com is not a trustworthy site at all . It once stated 'Ronaldinho undergoes medical at Stamford Bridge - Report' , when he instead moved to the San Siro . So never trust that site . As for Pirlo , no way is he joining Milan's rival team in Juve .
