Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero has set his sights on scoring 200 league goals for Juventus after becoming their outright top marksman of all time. Del Piero bagged his 179th Serie A goal in the 2-1 defeat of AC Milan on Saturday night, his strike proving to be the winner.
In so doing he overtook Giampiero Boniperti's previous mark of 178 Serie A strikes for the Old Lady of Turin - he had equalled the record on October 17 against Lecce. "Now my aim is to arrive at 200 goals, you should always set yourself new objectives," said Del Piero.
"These are special nights where the team celebrates. It's always worth three points, nothing more, but there's a special taste to winning at Milan."
Del Piero, who turns 36 in just over a week, has been at Juve since 1993 but his current contract runs out at the end of the season.
He is remaining calm about the future with no guarantees that he will be offered a new one. "It would be great to finish like this with a performance and a goal like this but I want to go on," he said.
"I have a great relationship with the club, we'll talk about (the contract) calmly, it's not a priority." Given Juve's injury problems, coach Luigi Delneri was understandably delighted with the result.
