Juventus attacker Alessandro Del Piero has voiced his delight with his goal in Tuesday's 3-0 Coppa Italia quarter-final win over Roma.
Emanuele Giaccherini gifted Juventus an early lead before Del Piero doubled his side's lead at the half-hour mark, and the veteran attacker was over the moon with his side's first goal of the season.
"Not finding the target until today didn’t make me anxious, but I’ve shaken off a slight burden, because both myself and many fans had been waiting for this goal," Del Piero was quoted as saying on the Juventus website.
"It was also nice to score because the goal wasn’t just a moment, it came during a good performance, made up of plenty of movement and exchanges with team-mates.
"I wanted to play well, get through to the next round, and then score a goal. We’re all working towards the same objective with great commitment."
The 37-year-old has an expiring contract with Juventus and will either retire at the end of the season, or move elsewhere.
