Serie A legend Javier Zanetti believes goalkeeping Veteran Gianluigi Buffon will be the deciding factor in the Champions League final clash between Juventus and Barcelona.
The Argentine lifted the trophy for the competition back in 2010 with Inter and is now confident that his once fierce rival, Juventus, will manage to overcome the odds and conquer Spanish giants Barcelona in Berlin, tipping the 37-year-old in-between the sticks to be the main man.
“Juve can definitely hurt Barca,” he said in an interview to Sportsmediaset. “The Champions League is such an important occasion and I know that Buffon will be the one who will keep them [Juventus] in the game.”
Despite all of the success Buffon has captured in his career, the Italian has never managed to win the Champions League, coming ever so close after losing in the all-Italian final on penalties to AC Milan in 2003.
