“It’ll be difficult to put so many emotions together in one evening,” the Chelsea striker told Sky Sport Italia.

“I will meet up with so many friends I carry in my heart, but I have to keep all of that outside the pitch. It won’t be easy, we’re fighting for a World Cup spot, so in those 90 minutes there can be no friends.

“Taking on Gigi Buffon is really tough, and it’s hard enough just to get near the Italy goal. Scoring past Gigi is complicated, history speaks for him.”
