Former Italy international Gianluigi Buffon recalled the win on penalties against France at the 2006 World Cup. ‘I was happy because it was over, then I realised that it was the most important night of my career’.
The Azzurri lifted the World Cup under Marcello Lippi in 2006, when Buffon was on the winning side in a penalty shootout against France.
The former Juventus goalkeeper, who re-joined Parma in Serie B ahead of 2021-22, is still going strong at 43.
The former Azzurri shot stopper is capped 176 times and admitted the biggest moment of his career came in the Azzurri shirt.
“The responsibilities you have during a World Cup are enormous,” Buffon told 433. “You can’t enjoy the event and the wins.
“After the win against France, I was happy because it was over, then, with the cup in hand, I realised that it was the most important night in my career as a footballer. It made me even more proud.”
Buffon is an amazing athlete!
He is one the reason why we won 2006 WC!
It would be awsome to have him on 2022 roster he surely deserve it!
I hope Mancio would call him up and for one last time world of football enjoy this Legend!
GRAZIE Buffon PER OGNI COSA CHE HAI FATTO PER NOI!
Mancini need to call up Buffon, he would be an added and inestimable assest s to the Italian roster if they made it. Also I think Ballotelli would be different this time if called because he wouldn’t want to blow his last chance.. that will drive him to work harder and give him a chance to prove he his a changed man.

didnt he retire like 3 times ? as great and a legend as he is, his time has passed. its Donnarumma Meret Cragno Sirigus time now.
haha ! You’re joking about Ballotelli right ? How many last chances did he get and blow !? Better to give Kean a chance than get Balo anywhere close to the NT
