According to the latest news from foreign media on May 11, Juventus legendary goalkeeper Buffon announced that he will leave the team at the end of this season! Buffon is 43 years old and has played 683 games in all competitions for Juventus in his long career, making 537 saves and 322 clean sheets. No matter whether Buffon retires or votes for another team after leaving, he is destined not to guard the door for Juventus again!
Buffon is the greatest goalkeeper in Juventus history. He played for Juventus from the summer of 2001 to May 2018, helping the team win numerous honors. After Juventus was once relegated due to the telephone incident, Buffon did not abandon the team, but shared weal and woe with the team and returned to Serie A. However, due to Juventus' long-term inaction in the Champions League, Buffon gradually became disheartened and moved to Paris Saint-Germain on May 30, 2018.
In the summer of 2019, with Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Juventus, Buffon returned to Juventus. He has only one goal: to win the Champions League with Cristiano Ronaldo! In the first round of the 2017/18 Champions League quarter-finals, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a shocking upside-down golden hook against Buffon. Buffon gave Cristiano Ronaldo a thumbs up on the spot, and the two cherished each other ever since. When the news of Ronaldo's transfer to Juventus came out, Buffon also returned to Juventus for the first time!
Now, it has been 2 years since I returned to Juventus. Not only did Juventus fail to win the Champions League, but they are getting farther and farther away from the Champions League. They entered the top 8 in the 2019/20 season, stopped in the top 16 this season, and may even compete with the Champions League next season. Missed. All this made old Buffon disheartened again, and it was reasonable to choose to leave!
Two years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo and Buffon came to Juventus together. Buffon failed to realize his dream of the Champions League, and Cristiano Ronaldo also had unfulfilled ambitions. Now that old Buffon is leaving, will Ronaldo stay? What's next for the Portuguese king?
