The Turin daily La Stampa reported on its front page today that Gianluigi Buffon will start on Tuesday against Genoa, seven months after his last start in Serie A. The 42-year-old goalkeeper will thus reach the Luigi Ferraris 648 games in the Italian league, with which he breaks the record of Paolo Maldini . The anticipated celebration of Juventus came this noon, with the renewal of its goalkeeper until 2021.

"The reason I keep playing is because I can still give my teammates and this club many beautiful emotions that are worth living," Buffon announced last December 18, after the game against Sampdoria, when he equaled the legendary defender of the Milan.

This Tuesday, Juventus made official the news that several Italian media had been advancing in recent months. The renovation of his goalkeeper coincided with that of Giorgio Chiellini , 36, another of the benchmarks of his wardrobe during the last two decades. In this way, Buffon will celebrate his 19th season with Vecchia Signora, while the central defender will be able to complete his 16th with the team he came from from Torini.

November 19, 1995

Buffon's career in Serie A began on November 19, 1995, wearing the Parma jersey. At 17 years and 295 days, Gigi kept his goal to zero against the powerful Milan (0-0), with decisive interventions against Roberto Baggio and George Weah . More than two decades later, he would coincide with PSG with Timothy Weah , son of the Ballon d'Or.

Since his transfer to Juventus in 2001, he has won nine Serie A titles, more than anyone else in all of history, to which must be added four from the Coppa and five from the Super Cup. In addition, it has the unbeatable record of the Italian league, with 974 minutes without receiving a goal.

The title of champion with Italy in the 2006 World Cup was one of the most glorious pages of a record where only the Champions League is missing. Buffon, under the sticks of Juventus, lost the 2003 finals to Milan and 2017 to Real Madrid.
