10 Most heart-breaking pictures of famous footballers

#4 Andrea Pirlo

Even the most charismatic endure the worst

Pirlo is one of the most decorated, stylish and charismatic footballers of all-time apart from being arguably one of the greatest in his position. However, even the greats suffer heartbreaks, don’t they?

Going into the 2015 UEFA Champions League final against Barcelona, Pirlo probably knew it was his last chance to add another feather in his cap, having already won the competition on two occasions.

However, Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus were put to the sword by the Spanish outlet, who inspired by Messi-Suarez-Neymar recorded a 3-1 win over the Old Lady. Pirlo couldn’t hold back his tears after the loss, and it required some comforting by his teammates to ease the pain of the Italian.
