Paolo Maldini believes Juventus “should have no regrets” about their Champions League Final with Barcelona.
The Bianconeri were beaten 3-1 in Berlin, though the final result was harsh.
“Juventus should have no regrets and really could not have done more,” Maldini told Sky Sport Italia.
“They put in a great performance. There was suffering at the stat, mainly due to the experience and quality of the Barcelona players, but Juve proved themselves to be a real team.
Paolo Maldini believes Juventus “should have no regrets” about their Champions League Final with Barcelona.
The Bianconeri were beaten 3-1 in Berlin, though the final result was harsh.
“Juventus should have no regrets and really could not have done more,” Maldini told Sky Sport Italia.
“They put in a great performance. There was suffering at the stat, mainly due to the experience and quality of the Barcelona players, but Juve proved themselves to be a real team.
“They were able to get the game back on track, but when you have that much quality against you, it only takes a moment for the breakthrough.
“Leo Messi is the best player in the world and the only one who could come close to Diego Armando Maradona for all he’s done over the years. From what I’ve seen, he has perhaps overcome Maradona.
“Neymar and Luis Suarez are phenomenal and their statistics speak for themselves. Barcelona have already made history and with this squad are destined to shatter every record.”
At the final whistle it was veteran Andrea Pirlo – Maldini’s former Milan teammate – who seemed the most upset.
“It was a shame, but he probably realised this was his last chance to win the Champions League again. He is a great champion and from today a new adventure begins.”
Pirlo is expected to leave Juventus and end his career in New York with the MLS.
