If Juventus fail to beat Tottenham at Wembley on Wednesday night – or engineer a high-scoring draw – it will mark Gianluigi Buffon’s last playing appearance on British soil.
Italy’s legendary goalkeeper has stated his attention to retire at the end of the season unless Juve win the Champions League, in which case he will keep going until the Club World Cup in December.
Truth be told, Buffon might not be too unhappy about leaving these shores behind. The 40-year-old keeper has lost seven of his 11 club matches so far here, the most particularly painful defeats coming in two of the three Champions League finals he has played in.
