GOALS OF THE DAY: Del Piero's Greatest Hits

Because watching these beauties is better than getting annoyed about Donald fucking Trump

So we've all woke up this morning believing the world to be an utterly shite place to live. It's a place where bigoted, sexist, KKK endorsed billionaires can reign supreme. Fucked up, isn't it?

However, today shouldn't be wasted on getting angry at a shite haired, pussy grabbing lunatic who will soon have access to all of America's nuclear codes. Instead, we should focus on the fact that today is also Alessandro Del Piero's 41st birthday and that gives us a reason to look back at some of 'Rafaello's' greatest hits.

Being the second highest all-time Italian top-scorer in all competitions, the Juventus icon has given us 346 efforts to choose from and, as you can imagine, whittling them down to just a handful was no mean feat. So instead, rather than focusing on a nice round number of say five or 10 of Del Piero's, we decided to whack as many as we could into this article so as to distract from the global fuck up that is 2016.

vs Lazio, 1994

vs Fiorentina, 1994

vs Real Madrid, 2003

vs Internazionale, 2006

vs Bari, 2001

vs Torino, 2002

vs Borussia Dortmund, 1995

vs Borussia Dortmund, 1997

vs Germany, 2006

vs Monaco, 1997

vs Piacenza, 2003

vs Roma, 2012

vs Verona, 1996

vs Steaua Bucharest, 1995

vs Sweden, 2000

vs Dinamo Kiev, 1998 (Zidane's assist, though)

vs Chievo, 2008

vs Lazio, 2008

vs Rangers, 1995

Probably just spend the rest of your day watching these videos and telling yourself everything will be OK, we reckon. Stay well clear of social media or any news channels for the next week, too.
