Just a few words, because he was pushed for time - caught between the dressing-room celebrations and boarding the bus waiting to take the team to the airport. Just a couple of minutes, but it was enough for Giorgio Chiellini to throw down the gauntlet to Barcelona.
"We're all absolutely delighted. I don't think it's sunk in yet but we've played our way into the final in Berlin and we deserve to be there.

"It's a wonderful night for us. Let's enjoy it to the full because you don't get nights like this very often."
Very true, Chiello. So go and enjoy being a Champions League finalist on the journey back to Turin. And don't forget that before the European Cup we also have an Italian Cup to win!
