The A-League side went down 3-2 to their Italian hosts on Wednesday night.
Padova paid a glowing tribute to Alessandro Del Piero on his return to the club that discovered and nurtured his prodigious talents over two decades ago.
The 38-year-old was bestowed with flowers, books, trophies and even an enormous bottle of wine by the Serie B club and its adoring supporters following their 3-2 win over Sydney FC, with Del Piero responding in kind by embarking on a lap of honour around the Stadio Euganeo
