Goalie-Legende Gianluigi Buffon verlässt Juventus Turin nach 17 Jahren zum Ende dieser Saison. Dies gibt der 40-Jährige selber bekannt.

«Am Samstag ist mein letztes Spiel für Juventus», sagte Buffon unter Tränen. Zum Abschluss der Meisterschaft in der Serie A empfangen die bereits als Meister feststehenden Norditaliener Hellas Verona.

2001 war Buffon als damals 23-jähriges Talent von Parma zu den Turinern gestossen. In seinen 17 Jahren absolvierte Buffon über 650 Spiele für Juventus und prägte eine äusserst erfolgreiche Ära. Der Weltmeister von 2006 mit Italien gewann mit dem italienischen Rekordmeister neun Meistertitel und vier Mal den Cup.

Verwehrt blieb dem Goalie jedoch ein Triumph in der Champions League. 2003 scheiterte er mit Juventus ebenso an Liga-Konkurrent AC Milan (im Penaltyschiessen) wie 2015 an Barcelona (1:3) und 2017 an Real Madrid (1:4). Über seine Zukunftspläne machte Buffon vorerst keine weiteren Angaben.

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "A big thank you to the president for his kind words. It's a very emotional day for me and I'm here off the back of an extraordinary and wonderful journey, shared with people who have cared about me greatly. For that, I have always tried to do my best."

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "Saturday will be my final match for Juventus and to end this journey with two cups and with the president and the entire Bianconeri world by my side, will be very special."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "I'm proud to have played to the best of my ability right up until now, with performances which befit both myself and this club. I make this decision in a calm and happy state of mind, which is not to be taken for granted for a sportsperson."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "If I feel as strong as I do at the age of 40, that is all thanks to Juventus and the mentality here. My own philosophy is built around that of the club and I shall continue to live my life in that way, as that's the only way I know to achieve results."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "The most exciting proposal for my career off the pitch has come from the president. Next week, after a few days to reflect, I shall make up my mind and follow my best instincts."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "I'm convinced that Juventus needs to plan for the future and, as someone who has spent many years as a player and several as club captain, I am the first to understand that."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "In @13Szczesny13, Juventus have an excellent goalkeeper, who also has 13 years less than me. Is this the best Bianconeri side of all time? I'm not sure, but certainly the most solid."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "If my future lies off the pitch, it will be necessary to undergo a training course in order to understand the right path to take and what role I could occupy."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "I can confirm that I'll be staying away from the national team. There are several young keepers who need to gain experience to grow."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "If I decide to continue my on-pitch career, it will boil down to whether I still have the necessary drive and strength. It's something that I'd need to think long and hard about. I don't want to end up playing in lower leagues."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "I'm proud to have received many proposals for the future, but it's in my character to launch myself into the next challenge with the utmost dedication."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "Juventus is a family for me and I am honoured to have been a part of it. The club is planning for a victorious future. If one day I am considered someone who can help the cause, Juventus will take priority for me."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "It had even crossed my mind to spend time away from football. These have been tough months for me, but in April I returned confident and happy. A six-month break might do me good."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "I want to enjoy Saturday just like all other title celebrations. I've seen plenty of them down the years, so all that I ask for is your respect and affection towards me on the day."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "To think that a winning cycle would finish on Saturday would be very serious indeed, but it won't. The essential common denominator to this club's success is the Agnelli family."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "Giorgio @chiellini and I have shared the Bianconeri dressing room for many years and he possesses all of the values required by a Juventus captain. I wish him all the best."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 @gianluigibuffon: "I shall always be grateful to Juventus."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

🎙 Agnelli: "Legends do exist. Approximately 30% of our trophies at #JuventusMuseum bear your name, @gianluigibuffon. You deserve a huge round of applause."
— JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) 17. Mai 2018

Here ends today's press conference, as everyone present stands to their feet to give @gianluigibuffon a long and emotional applause.
