Del Piero: Juventus gave our heart and soul

Juventus skipper Alessandro del Piero says they gave their "heart and soul" in last night's 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

"Regret and disappointment are obviously overpowering our abilities to analyse the game right now," said the captain after a 2-2 draw.

"We had a strong start and after the goal Chelsea began to come back at us, which is understandable as they are such a good team.

"Unfortunately, if we had gone into the break 1-0 up then I fear it would've been a very different game."

Juventus go out of the Champions League 3-2 on aggregate following their 1-0 first leg defeat at Stamford Bridge.

"Our regrets stretch over the 180 minutes, as I don't think we were the worst team. Chelsea are probably more accustomed than we are to clashes of this level right now," continued Del Piero.

"We gave our heart and soul, that is the important thing, and I cannot complain about what anyone did."
