Nicolo De Marchi: Juventus fan must walk for Barcelona ticket

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to see Morata score." The Proclaimers have not re-worked their lyrics but one Juventus fan may well have nightmares when he hears their classic song as he nears the end of a colossal walk to the Champions League final. At the end of Nicolo De Marchi's 683-mile walk from Turin to Berlin - where his beloved Juventus meet Barcelona on Saturday - awaits a ticket to the prestigious final, provided by the Italian club if he completes the journey. 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. The journey was due to end on Thursday in Berlin but he uploaded a post late in the day on Instagram stating "the fatigue is so great... arrival postponed to tomorrow". Map of Europe The distance from Turin to Berlin is similar to walking from Southampton to Newcastle and back again 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 a 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 due to hazardous conditions. He is closing in on his target - the chance to see Juventus lift the European Cup live, with eyes which could be forgiven for looking a little tired come matchday.
