Veteran Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero grabbed a stunning brace to silence 80,000 Real Madrid fans and send his side through to the next round of the Champions League in style.

He received huge praise and a standing ovation when he came off and even the Spanish media have bowed down to salute a real Galactico performance by the Italian hit-man.

Madrid-based newspaper Marca's front page reads: "Del Piero Knocks Down Real Madrid"

The prestigious El Pais also praised the striker: "Alex Portrays Madrid"

Madrid based 'AS' hails the Juve man: "Del Piero Sentences Real"

El Mundo Deportivo reads: "Del Piero Inspired As He Assaults The Bernabeu"

The Italian papers all led with Juve's stunning win and they hailed the Bianconero.

Turin based Tuttosport leads with the headline: "Alex Galactico"

Rome's Corriere Dello Sport reads: "Del Piero The Legend"

Milansese sports daily La Gazzetta Dello Sport: "Alex King Of Spain"

The striker's magical display saw Juventus pick up their first win at the Bernabeu in 46 years. The last time the Old Lady won against Real in Spain was in 1962 when the legendary Omar Sivori did the business.
