‘Not to win would be like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope’ - Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo has warned his Italian team-mates not to get carried away after their 2-1 victory over Germany in the Euro 2012 semi-finals, Soccer News reported.

Italy have performed well above expectations in Poland and Ukraine, but Pirlo insists it will count for nothing if they fail to go on and win the tournament.

“We have not won anything yet,” Pirlo told reporters.

“(Not to win) would be like going to Rome and not seeing the Pope.

“We are convinced that we will have a great match against Spain. But if we want to have a chance to win, we will need to show the same spirit and desire we showed tonight and in the match against England.

“After the 2006 World Cup, we had some problems in the national team because successes were not coming. Now, we have reached the final.”
