Gianluigi Buffon can only match the Serie A appearance record, if the Juventus goalkeeper decides to retire at the end of the season.
The veteran plans to hang up his gloves at the end of the current campaign, and looked to be in with a chance of breaking Paolo Maldini’s record of 647 league games.
However, the Bianconeri captain has been sidelined with a calf injury in recent weeks, and he’s currently on 629 appearances.

After last night’s match, there are 18 Serie A games remaining for the Old Lady, meaning Buffon can at best match Maldini’s record.
The veteran has said he’ll play on if Juve win the Champions League, so that he can play the Club World Cup, and if he does decide to play one more year he would almost certainly break the record.
