Juve, Allegri: ‘Buffon the best goalkeeper of the last 20 years, here’s his secret’

Juventus boss Max Allegri talked to Premium Sport on Saturday afternoon to share his thoughts on the Old Lady’s campaign so far.

“I’ve spent three amazing years in Turin. We’ve reached two Champions League finals, which is always a hard achievement. We didn’t expect to reach the first one (against Barcelona in 2015) ut we thought we could win the second one (against Real Madrid in June).”

“The Champions League is a dream that we can only reach with hard work. Juventus’ objective is to be among the best teams in Europe and the club is working for this. Motivations make the difference in football and I have to say this years’ group stage is more difficult than what it looks.”

“Buffon is the best goalkeeper of the last 20 years. It’s incredible to see how he is still at the highest levels despite being 39. I think the secret is his mentality. He is almost like a kid who still lives everything that happens to him with unconsciousness and passion.”
