> He played over 1,100 professional matches across three decades, kept five clean sheets on the way to lifting the 2006 World Cup, and was still starting games in Serie B at 45. The most capped goalkeeper in history and the only one to win UEFA Club Footballer of the Year, Buffon turned shot-stopping into an art form that outlasted almost everyone.

## Bio

Buffon broke into Serie A with Parma at 17, winning the UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia in 1999 before Juventus paid a world record €52.9 million for a goalkeeper in 2001. Over 17 years in Turin he collected nine Serie A titles, became the first goalkeeper to win Serie A Footballer of the Year, and reached Champions League finals in 2015 and 2017 - the latter earning him the inaugural Best FIFA Goalkeeper award. He captained Italy to World Cup glory in 2006, was named by Pelé to the FIFA 100 in 2004, and finished runner-up for the Ballon d'Or. At 40 he spent a season at Paris Saint-Germain, returned to Juventus to break Paolo Maldini's Serie A appearance record, then circled back to Parma for two final seasons in Serie B before retiring in 2023 with 176 caps and a claim as the greatest goalkeeper of his generation.
