The Juventus midfielder may be 34 but he played 120 minutes in the sweltering Fortaleza heat and, although his shirt was drenched with soaked through with sweat at the final whistle, the playmaker never looked flustered.
This back-heel pass midway through the second half summed up Pirlo’s fine performance and he capped it off with a typically assured penalty, as Italy lost 7-6 to the World Champions on sport-kicks.
