Nicolo De Marchi: Juventus fan walks to Berlin for Barcelona ticket

Nicolo De Marchi has trekked 683 miles from Turin to Berlin - where his beloved Juventus meet Barcelona on Saturday - to get his hands on a ticket, which the Italian club said they would provide if he completed the journey to the prestigious final. His efforts stem from a pledge he made when tweeting the club on their 'if we get to the final' hashtag prior to the Old Lady's semi-final win over Real Madrid.

"I will go on foot," wrote the 22-year-old, who has passed through Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Germany on his route. He arrived a day later than planned because, as he explained on Instagram, "the fatigue was so great".Staff at Juventus - a club without a European Cup success since 1996 - were inundated with pledges from fans saying they would get tattoos or marry at the final if the club qualified. And when they did, with a 3-2 aggregate win over Real, Nicolo received a shock when Juve issued their challenge.

The club said it "threw down the gauntlet" to Nicolo,
who has been allowed to use a bike for parts of the
journey and a car for 12 miles because of
hazardous conditions, and he has now matched his
words with his actions.

Issokay..Let the revelations begin. It's only in FIFA where in the midst of all corrupt officials, only one man seems to be the 'holy' one - Sepp Blatter. Thank goodness he's gone already.

Lord have mercy!

At long last!...We've seen so many scandals and problems in FIFA, raising quite a lot of questions over how the organisation has been run in recent years under Blatter's watch. I'm not implying that he is corrupt but I believe leaders should be judged by results and in my own opinion, Blatter has done a terrible job over the years. It's been a long time coming and it's a good thing he has finally taken responsibility and done the needful by resigning. I wish him well.

Pls friends send me the past question material. I need all the help I can get. Thanks. hydyuko@gmail. com

Posted to Lagos too, Ipaja camp..wish us all a swell time!!!#271A659A

OMG..what a drama!! If this topic is anything to go by, I think Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is officially more confused and clueless than her boss GEJ.
So this madam (Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala) personally holds a press conference (I watched it on NTA), telling the world that 56% of the 2012 budget has been implemented, only for the Fed. Govt. to retract the claims a few days later, and suprisingly, the same Minister of
Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was absent.
Very funny, isn't it??
Oh Fresh Air, what else do you have for us??

..I know how much we all love to oppose GEJ, but the truth is..if we don't jointly fight these terrorists anywhere they emanate from(even in neighbouring countries), very soon they'll form a network and formidable branches all over west Africa, and by then we will all be in BIG trouble#
If Mali is evidently losing the battle against these blood thirsty terrorists, it's not wrong for GEJ to consider sending a little army(if we can afford it) alongside soldiers from the other countries to help out. I may be wrong, but I think that's one reason why we have international organisations like ECOWAS and so on.

@OP pls don't fastforward urself oh, what if she sent it to d wrong number?!
