DBasia.news – Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon achieved his first match with Les Parisiens after defeating AS Monaco 4-0 in the first match of France Super Cup in Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center. Still respecting his former club, Buffon also mentioned Juventus in his message.
Angel Di Maria (33′, 90+2′), Christopher Nkunku (40′), and Timothy Weah (67′) scored the goals for Les Parisiens. Meanwhile, from 8 shots, AS Monaco didn’t score any goal.
With this victory, Paris Saint-Germain deserved the France Super Cup title. This is also the first title for Buffon who joined PSG in the 2018 summer transfer market.
“Even at the age of 40, you can still be happy to win a Supercopa. Thanks again to Juventus who, with their culture of work, allowed me to reach this age in optimal condition to keep performing,” Buffon wrote in his Facebook.
“Thanks to PSG, who found the necessary arguments to push me even further. Thanks to my new team-mates who allowed me to win another trophy and welcomed me with enthusiasm, courtesy, and respect,” the goalkeeper added.
“And thanks to (PSG colleague) Kevin Trapp who, despite what I offered a few days ago, wanted me to find the number one shirt in my place (in the dressing room). Thank you Kevin, from my heart, and thanks to all those who allowed me to feel these emotions again,” he continued.
Paris Saint-Germain will start the adventure in Ligue 1 by serving Cean in Parc des Prices, Monday (13/8). Last season, Neymar and friends finished the competition in the top rank.
