Gianluigi Buffon is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world, according to his Juventus teammate Sami Khedira.
Buffon’s season has been smudged by a couple of high-profile mistakes, with critics citing his 38 years as a reason for his drop in performance levels, but Khedira insists the veteran remains one of the globe’s top goalkeepers.
“The Champions League is my big dream, our dream, but it’s difficult: there are 10 other teams who have the same objective,” the midfielder told Premium Sport.

“Now we’re well into in the group stages, but from March it’ll start to get serious. Certainly we’ll try to win it.
“Criticism of Buffon? That’s football, especially for large champions. It happens when Ronaldo doesn’t score and Buffon makes the slightest mistake.
“He’s still one of best in the world, calm and we shouldn’t focus too much on the criticism, it’s part of the game.”
