Buffon: ‘Ronaldo convinced Juventus stars to stay’

04 dic 2018

Psg goalkeeper Gigi Buffon spoke to Tiki Taka on Monday night. Former Italy and Juventus star admitted that he misses playing for the Old Lady but he also revealed an interesting fact about Cristiano Ronaldo: “For me, it was time to call it a day with Juve and probably other Juventus players had the same feeling. The only way to convince all of them to stay was to sign Ronaldo”.

“I’ve won titles for seven years. Even if you are the best team, wins are never easy. Especially at a psychological level it’s not easy to remain at the top.”

“I could have ended my career, I was not opening to playing in an exotic league. I wanted to play at the highest levels and Psg gave me this chance. It was a natural decision but I parted company with Juve in a ‘sweat’ way. Everybody agreed.”

“Sometimes the right thing to do is simply take different paths, I’d like to face Juventus in Champions League but not in the final. It would be too hard for me, I am not sure I would make the best saves, I’d accept to face Juventus in any other round of the competition.”
