It’s just Champions League fever with Juventus fans going wild finding creative ways to root for the team. Here is the case of Luca Parisotto from the Province of Vicenza, a fan following me in Twitter @ItalianSerieA. For Luca, the dream to see Juventus lifting the Champions League trophy is more than a dream and decided to show off his love for Juventus by having shaved the word “Berlino’ into the back of his head, creative haircut design. Juventus will play the Champions League Final against Barcelona on Saturday 6 June 2015 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany.
Luca, just as all Juventus fans, are fully supporting the Bianconeri. Talking about the admiration for the Vecchia Signora, Luca saying, “My passion for Juventuswas bornas a childandwhen I seetheshirt wornby the players I get excited. It’s an all Juventus passion.”
The last time Juventus played a Champions League Final was in 2003 against AC Milan. The winner was AC Milan. Now, it’s the historical chance for Juventus to win the Treble since already won the 2015 Scudetto and Coppa Italia. Juventus eliminated Real Madrid in the semifinal to reach the Champions League. The objective now is to win it and bring it to Italy.

We are going to Berlin for the victory, Forza Juventus.

Referee Jonas Eriksson to direct the Champions League Semifinal Second Leg match, Real Madrid vs Juventus on May 13, 2015
Here are the declarations of Juventus Captain Gianluigi Buffon during the press conference ahead of the UEFA Champions League Semifinal Second Leg game, Real Madrid vs Juventus to be played on Wednesday 13 May at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain at 20:45.
Buffons saying, “It’s a proud occasion for everyone associated with Juventus: players, backroom staff, club and fans”

I agree with Buffon that it is a deserved reward for all the hard work that Juventus has gone into restoring the club as a genuine force on the European stage.
Speaking to the media in Spain, the captain said: “It’s a proud occasion for all associated with Juventus: players, backroom staff, club and fans. After years of suffering we’ve deserved this opportunity.
“I’m very proud of the journey that’s brought us here and I’d like to thank the lads who have stayed here to get the legend of Juventus up and running again.”
As reported by Juventus official site, with a 2-1 advantage from the first leg at Juventus Stadium, Buffon says the Bianconeri must avoid the temptation to sit back and protect their slender advantage at the Santiago Bernabeu, especially in light of Los Blancos’ prolific scoring record on home soil.
“Plenty of teams have lost here and the goalkeeper usually leaves the field having conceded at least one goal. They’re that good up front that we’d end up coming away with a few regrets if we just tried to sit back and defend. We’ll aim to play with intelligence, given that we have an advantage, minimal as it is.
“We’ve exceeded every expectation considering we’re also in the Coppa Italia final. Each of us harbours the desire to make this dream come true, but we know that the only way to get to the final is by going out and playing football.”
