WATCH: Eight things you probably didn’t know about the legend that is Andrea Pirlo

There are three certainties in football: You will have your heart broken, Pepe will get booked and Andrea Pirlo will forever be the coolest man to lace his boots.

We can't stress the latter point enough on the day that the bearded magician prepares to defend Juventus' 2-1 lead at the Bernabeu. And the wonderful folk over at talkSPORT have put together an enlightening video that details the eight things that not many people know about the midfielder. His wine-making prowess, his comedy videos and his proposed Chelsea move all feature in the clip that provide a perfect background to the man, the myth, the legend - PIRLO (whisper Pirlo for full dramatic effect). https://youtu.be/ky9Hj5Be9Ow
