Gianluigi Buffon has thanked Juventus for giving him the “splendid gift” of being able to play in the same team as Cristiano Ronaldo, following his return to the club.
Buffon left Juve last year and spent a season at Paris Saint-Germain, before turning down the opportunity to remain in Ligue 1.
The 41-year-old is back with the Serie A champions again, having spent the best 17 years of his career with them.
The legendary goalkeeper has signed a contract that will expire in 2020 and he is particularly excited about the chance to call Ronaldo his team-mate.
“It’s beautiful. At the end of my career I was able to play with Neymar and [Kylian] Mbappe thanks to Paris Saint-Germain, now it will happen with Cristiano Ronaldo thanks to Juventus.
“I think that for players with my experience and with my history, to be able to end the career in such a way is a splendid gift,” he told reporters.
