Buffon: Champions League must follow for Juventus

Juventus must end its long wait for the Champions League after making history in Serie A, captain Gianluigi Buffon has said.

Gianluigi Buffon says winning the Champions League is a must for Juventus following its historic Serie A triumph.

Roma's 1-0 win over Napoli on Monday saw Juve clinch a fifth successive league title, something it first achieved between 1931 and 1935.

Buffon has now won seven Scudetti in a glittering career, but has yet to lift Europe's top club prize, having been on the losing side in finals in 2003 and 2015.

And the 38-year-old believes Juve's run to the final last season, and close battle with Bayern Munich in the last 16, proves it is ready to conquer the continent.
