'Curses don't exist' - Del Piero backs Juventus to succeed in Champions League final

The former Juve striker has backed the Old Lady to defeat Real Madrid on Saturday, and put their repeated final disappointments behind them

Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero believes that the club is not cursed and can put their last four final defeats behind them to lift the Champions League.

The Serie A side last won the competition in 1996, but since then have lost in each of the four Champions League finals they appeared in.

Del Piero started in that win over Ajax, but tasted defeat the following two years in the final as well as in 2003 against rivals AC Milan.
