Alessandro Del Piero has written an open letter to Juventus fans thanking them for his memories with the Italian giants.
The 37-year-old will play the final game of his 19 year Bianconeri career in Sunday’s Coppa Italia final against Napoli, this follows his final home match which was on Sunday against Atalanta.

Than a standing ovation at the Bernabeu.
Than 704 matches in the black and white jersey.
Than 289 goals.
Than a free-kick scored that meant the Scudetto.
Than a goal against Atalanta.
Than any record.
Than the No 10 jersey with the name Del Piero.
Than the captain’s armband.
Nothing, but… what you have given me in these 19 years.
I’m happy that you have smiled, cheered, cried, sung, shouted for me and with me. No colour will ever be brighter for me than black and white. You’ve made my dream come true. More than any other thing, today I just want to say THANK YOU.
Always by your side
Alessandro
