This is how you mark your 100th Champions League match in style…

JOE would like to imagine that when kids are asked what they would like to be when they grow up that the following answers are all given; 1) Batman, 2) The Rock or , 3) Andrea Pirlo.

We don’t really care what the order is but Pirlo, much like the fine wines that he loves so much, seems to be getting better with age as demonstrated once again with this stunning free-kick against Olympiakos.

The 35 year old broke the deadlock in Turin in the most spectacular way possible with a trademark free-kick on his 100th Champions League career appearance.

We imagine that somewhere there is a single tear rolling down the cheeks of AC Milan fans after seeing this goal.

Juventus ran out 3-2 winners thanks to a Paul Pobga winner but Pirlo definitely scored the goal of the match.
