While all eyes were on 'CR7' for the majority of the afternoon, the Juventus Stadium stopped to show their appreciation for a man who is an undoubted legend at the club.
Pirlo, dressed in a stylish jacket as always, waved to the fans as they showed their thanks for what he did for the 'Old Lady' in his four seasons in Turin.
The game also happened to be the first competitive game in which their new star man, Crisitiano Ronaldo, bagged the two decisive goals in the match against Sassuolo.
With Ronaldo on such good form in his presence, it seems as though Pirlo may have to go to every Juventus came from now on to make sure the Balon D'Or winner is on target.
