Buffon: «We definitely were not lucky»

Gigi Buffon tried in all manners to save the result but to no avail. A draw was not enough: «The way it came a draw could have been the just result and then after all we even scored the second with one men less. If we were 1 –a-side there could have been a different outcome».

What is sure is that luck was not on the side of the bianconeri: «We definitely were not lucky. We played well notwithstanding the many absentees like Sissoko who is important for our team and Nedved who had to be substituted in the starting minutes. Then we had Camoranesi and Marchionni unavailable too and therefore the greatest regret is that we couldn’t play this match with our best team. The goal by Iaquinta was an excellent effort by our attackers. Having played badly in the last ten minutes of the first half is what set us back».

Del Piero asked for the backing of the public and the latter did not disappoint even after the final whistle:«The applauses made us happy and we must thank the great public that was very much behind us but what we would have liked to give them unfortunately we did not manage».
