Jaw-dropping Italian journalist's vow to visit Nou Camp naked over Champions League result

Barcelona and Bayern Munich put on a show in the Champions League on Tuesday night in a clash of true European royalty but all eyes were on Diletta Leotta after her saucy promise

Stunning Italian journalist Diletta Leotta has left Barcelona fans disappointed after her vow to visit the Nou Camp naked was broken by Bayern Munich.
Diletta, who is also a model, brought some spice to the Champions League clash prior to their meeting on Tuesday night. She claimed that if Barca beat Bayern by three goals, she would parade through Nou Camp in the nude.
A tantalising proposition that had fans from both sides hoping for the result - even some Germans - as well as armies of neutral supporters.
As it happened, though, the Blaugrana were vanquished much to the disappointment of fans around the world.
The 31-year-old model presents Serie A broadcasts for DAZN and was born in Catalonia, showing her true Barca colours with her naked vow. But the Bavarians proved too strong for Barcelona despite a fine start from Xavi's men.
In Robert Lewandowski's return to the Allianz Arena, the Poland international could not get on the scoresheet as his old side emerged victorious.

Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane struck shortly after half-time to hand the Bundesliga champions a 2-0 win.
While it was a proper clash between two top sides, alas it will mean Diletta's promise cannot be fulfilled in the return match at Nou Camp. There was real hope, considering the goalscoring form that Xavihas brought back to the club recently.
Barca had scored 20 goals in five matches prior to Tuesday night with the Spanish giants looking back to their best.

But Bayern seem to have Barcelona's number, having won the last four ties against them - including that infamous 7-0 mauling.
While Barcelona lost against Bayern, they remain in a strong position to qualify from their group but they must now get a result against Inter Milan. Both clubs are on three points and will meet each in the next two Champions League matches.
Bayern, though, remain as strong as ever and are sitting top of their group with two wins out of two. A 2-0 win at the San Siro last week puts them in a commanding position with Inter having to get a win in Bavaria to stand a chance of going through as the top side.
Every season there is always a group dubbed 'the group of death' and this year it is no doubt Group C, with Bayern, Barcelona and Inter Milan - all previous Champions League winners.
Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen, who have virtually no hope of qualifying with two losses out of two, will still enjoy some great revenue from gate receipts and TV money.
