Pirlo blasts 'awful, horrible' Liverpool hero Origi: You're unworthy!

Juventus hero Andrea Pirlo blasted Liverpool goalscorer Divock Origi for his Champions League final appearance.

Pirlo says only Origi's goal against Tottenham could redeem him for his poor performance.

"Tottenham showed no character, there were players like Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen who didn't want the ball," Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia.

“There was very little quality in midfield and the penalty incident made all the difference. Don't get me wrong, it's a thoroughly deserved trophy for Liverpool's overall season, but also for their wonderful fans.

“However, Origi was awful. He came off the bench with a horrible attitude, unworthy of a Champions League Final. If he hadn't scored that goal, they should've given him a kicking."
