The legendary goalkeeper of the "Old Lady" will return to the Allianz Stadium after 1 year of playing for PSG. However, in this comeback, Buffon had to accept the No. 2 goalkeeper position, after Wojciech Szczesny. However, this is acceptable and opens the 41-year-old goalkeeper's next path.
After moving to PSG, Buffon and the French team did not play successfully when they were eliminated from the Champions League by Manchester United. Among the goals conceded in the return match of the round of 16 last season, one came from Buffon's "hammering" mistake.
If Buffon returns to Juventus, the poorest person is Mattia Perin. The Italian goalkeeper was a reserve for Buffon and Szczesny. When Buffon left, he was pushed to the number 2 goalkeeper position but now considered hopeless. Juve also said that Perin will leave the club to find a new challenge.
Buffon's return to Juventus is a joy for long-time fans of this team. Here, he won 9 Serie A and 4 Coppas Italia. However, in 18 years at Juve, Buffon have never touched the Champions League silver Cup.
Now, the "Old Lady" has welcomed Ronaldo, who defeated Juve in the 2017 final. In the past 3 years, CR7 has ended Juve's dream twice, and Buffon is the one who understands the feeling of failure better than anyone.
Ronaldo has come, Buffon has returned. One is a true champion, the other is a solid blocker for many years with Juve.
That combination may not happen many times next season, but when Ronaldo and Buffon are on the same pitch, it is a Juventus that converges all the elements of a European giant.
