Gianluigi Buffon wrote an emotional message to Juventus fans who ‘were the frame within which I painted my Bianconeri history. Together we sank and together we were reborn.’
The goalkeeper is leaving Juve for the second time and hinted at the age of 43 that he is still eager to continue his playing career elsewhere.
Last night he starred as they beat Atalanta 2-1 to lift the Coppa Italia trophy.
“You were the frame within which I painted my Bianconeri history,” wrote Buffon on Instagram, referring to the fans.
“In 20 years you never abandoned me, you always supported and encouraged me. Together we sank and together we were reborn.
“Together we experienced infinite joy and together we experienced profound disappointment.
“A simple thank you would never be sufficient to repay the infinite affection you showed me uninterrupted for 20 years.”
