Andrea Pirlo motivated by Champions League success

Andrea Pirlo admits that succeeding in the Champions League with Juventus is motivating him in the latter stages of his career.

Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has claimed that winning another Champions League title is motivating him in the latter stages of his career.

Pirlo won the competition twice during his time with AC Milan, before leaving to join Juventus, where he has claimed four Serie A titles but failed to make an impact in Europe.

"I came to Juve in order to win and we achieved that. I am very happy, but now we must make the next step up the ladder," the 35-year-old, whose side meet Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday, told La Stampa.

"I'd like to win another Champions League before retiring."

Juventus have reached the quarter-finals just once in the last four seasons.
