Buffon is Juventus weak link claims former Germany defender

Ex-Juventus centre back Jurgen Kohler believes that Gianluigi Buffon could be the key to Borussia Dortmund knocking Juventus out of the Champions League on Wednesday.

The former Germany international played for the Bianconeri between 1991 and 1995 but also became a symbol for the Dortmund side, having featured 191 times for the Bundesliga outfit after having left Turin to return to his homeland.

“I’m certain Borussia can qualify,” he told Bild. “Juventus might be the strongest side in Italy but they also have weaknesses.

“Buffon is no longer the keeper he once was and lately he has been prone to mistakes, just like the rest of the Juve defence.

“The scoreline is very tricky for them, especially as Dortmund are extremely dangerous going forward. I reckon Dortmund will win the tie 3-1.”

Kohler picked up 105 international caps throughout his career and going on to win the 1990 World Cup with his country.
