Gianluigi Buffon left a contrasting image with Parisian supporters, who have not all digested his participation in the elimination against Manchester United during a completely failed return match in 2019, at the Parc des Princes. But the Italian doorman, now retired, has excellent memories of his Parisian experience. On the podcast BSMT by Gianluca Gazzoli, he also slipped in a very telling little sentence about Parisian failures in the Champions League.
“I had already organized my life after football, then after a month the call to PSG came: it was an exceptional experience, I felt free. (…) They all loved me, they gave me a lot. At Juventus I thought we were champions, then there I saw all these players together, Mbappé, Verratti, Thiago Silva… With them in Turin, we would have won four Champions Leagues.he said.
