Alex historic Capocannoniere
Sunday 18 May, 2008
Alessandro Del Piero is only the second player ever to win back-to-back Capocannoniere titles in Serie A and B.
The Juventus captain topped the scorers’ charts last season on their way to promotion with 20 goals and has improved upon it with his 21 in Serie A.
The brace in Saturday’s 3-3 draw with Sampdoria took him up to 21, beating teammate David Trezeguet on 20.
The Capocannoniere for most of the campaign, Marco Borriello, finishes third with 19 for Genoa.
Del Piero makes history, as the only other player to ever achieve this feat was Paolo Rossi in 1977 and 1978.
The 1982 World Cup winner managed the double with the Vicenza shirt, scoring 21 in Serie B and 24 in the top flight a year later.
This has also been Del Piero’s most prolific ever campaign, matching the personal best of 21 in 32 appearances in 1997-98.
Undoubtedly the record will help boost calls for Del Piero’s inclusion in Italy’s Euro 2008 squad.
