Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has said Barcelona striker Lionel Messi will be tough to stop.
La Vecchia Signora face the Spanish giants in the Champions League final on June 6, and the Juve captain has said that it will be difficult to stop the Argentine striker.
“Messi is undoubtely the best player in the world, he has been for a decade due to his physical and mental strength,” the 37-year-old told sportmediaset.
“A match against him is an exciting prospect but it does give me a bit of fear, it would be wrong to not be scared.”
Buffon also said, though, that it isn’t just Messi who the Italian champions have to worry about, but the whole of the Barcelona squad.
“In games like these, every player is a strong player.
“I know that we can stop Messi, but Barcelona have others, their whole team is very strong.”
