Gianluigi Buffon Passes Paolo Maldini’s record

DBasia.news –  The most number of appearances in Serie A is now owned by Juventus goalkeeper, Gianluigi Buffon, who has passed Paolo Maldini’s record.

Gianluigi Buffon guarded Juventus’ goal when they won 2-0 against SPAL in the sixth week of Serie A. That way, Buffon has made 903 appearances in Serie A.

This amount exceeds the record of Paolo Maldini who played 902 Serie A matches. Before defending Juventus, Buffon had saved 220 matches with Parma at the beginning of his career.

“This is extraordinary satisfaction. I did not realize this record is very close since the last two matches. I did it in the last fight. I was told that it has achieve what Paolo Maldini inscribed,” explained Buffon as reported by Goal.

“It makes me very hapyp and proud. I am proud of what I have done.”

“However, as I said, I’m glad to be here not because of myself. This is a matter of being a player with high quality. That’s what I say without being arrogant,” said Buffon.

“Therefore, I also added that I will always be grateful to my parents and wife who have been kind. I believe there is something in myself that can achieve this,” explained the goalkeeper.

However, until now Gianluigi Buffon has still not been able to win the Champions League title. In fact, at the international level, he was able to embrace the title that is no less difficult, the World Cup.

In fact, Gianlugi Buffon was three times one step away from the Champions League champions in 2003, 2015 and 2017. Unfortunately, Buffon was always part of the team that lost at the end of the match.

If based on the duration of the contract, Buffon only has a chance this season to win the Champions League title. Juventus are in Group D with Atletico Madrid, Locomotiv Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen.
