Dani Alves has said he made a vow to Gianluigi Buffon when he joined Juventus, to help him win the Champions League.
The Serie A champions will take on Real Madrid in the final this Saturday in Cardiff.
Despite winning three Champions Leagues with the Blaugrana, Alves says he is desperate to win this year’s competition for the Italy No.1 goalkeeper.
“I don’t feel more important than any of the other players because I’ve lived moments like this. Moments are only good for the history to write pages and pages,” Alves admitted.
“Life has brought me here to this team to try and deliver a dream that for quite a long time now I’ve already had. Unfortunately, we haven’t experienced this dream yet.
“I just came to try and share this dream with them, a player as important as Gigi to not have this trophy… It would not change very much in his career as a footballer but I think it would be one more wonderful page added to his football history.
“We need to use this opportunity to make sure that the dream becomes a reality and to make football history. To win a trophy with Buffon before he retires – that would be special for me.”
