Buffon: Bonucci the world's best, but Italy wary of Ibrahimovic

The Italy shot stopper is believes the Azzurri are lucky to have a special talent like his Juventus team-mate in the team but insists Sweden's "superstar" will cause problems

Gianluigi Buffon has hailed Italy team-mate Leonardo Bonucci as one of the "best in the world" in his position, but has warned that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will cause problems for his side on Friday.

Bonucci has been a key member of a dominant Juventus side over the last few years and is a crucial part of an all-Bianconeri back three alongside Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli.

And Buffon believes the 29-year-old is a special talent, insisting he is a "complete player".
