During his immense career, Gianluigi Buffon was able to meet some of the most impressive champions of the contemporary era, from Kylian Mbappé to Cristiano Ronaldo, via Zinédine Zidane. The former Juventus goalkeeper puts him one above all.
“In modern times, I will answer Cristiano Ronaldo, who has always scored against me”said Buffon in the show Passa dal BSMTbroadcast on YouTube.
Buffon captivated by this champion
Gianluigi Buffon notably received an exceptional acrobatic return from Cristiano Ronaldo. “After 25 seconds of great frustration, I started to think about the beauty of his gesture. And then, a little later, he walked past me and I asked him: ‘Cristiano, how old are you again?’ And he said, ‘Not bad for a 33-year-old guy, huh?’ And we both started laughing…”
More generally, it was the Portuguese’s mentality which marked him. “The ‘nastiness’ with which I saw him make certain gestures during a match, I have not seen it in any other player. You clearly saw this ‘mean’ energy, which was however the fruit of this desire to win at all costs. »
