“In 1998 I went to the World Cup in France, and he was born,” Buffon pointed out in an interview with SportMediaset.
“It’s beautiful and motivational to play against a future [Lionel] Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar… he’s an incredible talent, he’s a lad with his head screwed on and that will help him a lot.
“I wish him a stellar career.”
Most pundits have Juve as favourites for the Champions League tie, but Buffon will not be underestimating Monaco.
“After half an hour of the game they played against [Manchester] City I text my agent and said they could get to the final.
“They’re an exciting, physical team with quality.”
