Gianluigi “Gigi” Buffon[2][3] (Italian pronunciation: [dʒanˈlui:dʒi bufˈfɔn], Ufficiale OMRI;[4] born 28 January 1978) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. He captains both Serie A club Juventus and the Italy national team. He is widely regarded by players, pundits and managers to be one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time,[nb 1] and, by some, to be the greatest ever.[nb 2] Buffon is one of only eighteen players to have made at least 1,000 professional career appearances; with 173 international caps, Buffon is also the most capped player in the history of the Italian national team, the third-most capped male international footballer of all time, and the most capped European international player ever. Buffon is known for his “outstanding shot-stopping” and for being “a vocal organizer of the defence and a key dressing room personality”.[24][25] He is currently the most expensive goalkeeper in history, following his €52 million transfer from Parma to Juventus in 2001. Buffon holds the record for the most clean sheets in Serie A, and with the Italy national team; he also holds the record for the longest streak without conceding a goal in Serie A history: over 12 league matches, he went unbeaten for 974 consecutive minutes during the 2015–16 season, as well as having achieved the most consecutive clean sheets (10) in Serie A in that same season.
Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (from Latin iuventūs, “youth”; Italian pronunciation: [juˈvɛntus]), colloquially known as Juve (pronounced [ˈjuːve]),[5] is a professional Italian football club in Turin, Piedmont.
