Gigi Buffon, on the verge of turning 41, analyzed his months in the PSG in a complete interview granted to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. Questioned about his role as 'godfather' with Neymar and Mbappé, he said he told the Brazilian that "it is a scandal that does not have the Golden Ball, I should be furious".

"If life has been benevolent and has given you an uncommon quality you should not be content with being one more, you have to be number 1", said Buffon, "Neymar and Mbappé have a disproportionate talent and can dominate football during 10 years".

Buffon spoke about his arrival in Paris. "The reception was extraordinary, people thank me for the street, it's amazing"

Challenge against Manchester United

Asked if the knockout round of the Champions League against United will be more difficult without Mou, Buffon replied that "it will be a more complicated challenge than it seems now".

"I played with many champions," he said about regretting not playing with CR7 at Juventus, "and I would have liked to play with him, but Ney and Mbappé have the same pedigree."

"I do not think that Juventus miss me, it's a club that schedules everything so well that it's difficult to make mistakes in decisions," he said of his departure while assuring that Juve "is one of the big favorites to take the Champions "
