Gigi Buffon’s agent is mystified by his Ballon d’Or snub – “if you can find a goalkeeper who did better…”
The Juventus ‘keeper was not included on the shortlist for this year’s award, with Massimo Luongo, who spent last season at Swindon Town, and David Ospina making the cut.
“What he [Buffon] has done and is doing is plain for everyone to see,” Silvano Martina told Tuttomercatoweb.

“What he [Buffon] has done and is doing is plain for everyone to see,” Silvano Martina told Tuttomercatoweb.
“I don’t know if he’d win, so it still doesn’t have much meaning, but when you look at some of the names on there, the fact that Gianluigi isn’t among them speaks for itself.
“If you can find a goalkeeper who did better that he did in all competitions last season then…”
The Bianconeri lifted their fourth Scudetto in a row last season, as well as reaching the Champions League final, with Buffon's save from Dani Alves in the first half of that match named as one of UEFA's saves of the year.
