Gianluigi Buffon assures “Italy won’t have any problems after me”, thanks to Gianluigi Donnarumma, Mattia Perin and Alex Meret.
The Azzurri captain plays his 1000th senior game tomorrow, but at the age of 39 he’s approaching the end of his illustrious career.
“It’s a great achievement, I’m happy but I won’t go onto the pitch with different emotions compared to my 999th game,” Buffon shrugged, speaking to Sky.
