The former striker scored Italy’s second goal in the 2-0 victory over Germany in extra time of the 2006 World Cup semi-final.
He was at BVB Stadion Dortmund to cover Italy’s opener against Albania.
Italy won the game 2-1 thanks to goals from Nicolo Barella and Alessandro Bastoni.
Those goals came after Nedjm Bajrami opened the scoring after 23 seconds.
This was the record for the fastest goal ever scored at the Euros.
And Del Piero managed to appear on German TV and “apologize” for his role in the hosts’ elimination in 2006.
The former striker appeared on screen as the presenter said: “Do you want to apologize for 2006?”
He replied, “Yes. More than sorry. I mean, I’m sorry, guys!”

Del Piero, 49, was seen wearing stylish electric blue glasses to match his light blue blazer.
They are part of his eyewear collection, which he has launched as a business since retiring from football in 2014.
