The eternal '21', which many called 'the maestro' while he was playing, made clear that magic is not lost and that he still has that brilliant touch which won over millions of fans during his career. The ex-footballer, who played for Inter, AC Milan and Juventus and is loved by everyone in Italy, took the responsability of taking a free-kick near the D.
Pirlo took a very short run-up and struck the ball spectacularly. The ball went over the wall and dipped in an instant. The shot as well as being very, very powerful, had vicious spin on it. The whole of Anfield got up from their seats and applauded him while legends like Kaka went over to congratulate him. It does not matter that he is 39, Pirlo still shows amazing skills and delights fans who loved watching him so much.
