It is rather obvious that, whenever someone wins, there will be someone not so happy with it. Today, one of the "coolest" players in football history showed he is not as hard as fans believe him to be.
Andrea Pirlo was caught on TV crying minutes after losing the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona. The player was embraced by Paul Pogba, trying to calm the Italian midfielder, who may have lived his final game with La Vecchia Signora. Other players such as Alvaro Morata, the player who equalized the game for Juventus, were also showing their discomfort after their baffling loss to the Blaugrana side.
Pirlo's show of emotion made fans around the world talk about it, since seeing the Italian in such an emotional mood is not usual. Have a look at what they had to say about it.
Heartbreaking, #Pirlo forever a legend! #ForzaJuve pic.twitter.com/vUHCq55pgv

Doesn't matter who you support (Barcelona and Torino excluded), you're gutted for Pirlo. #UCLFinal
