Carlos Bacca Labels Juventus Legend as 'One of the Best in History' Ahead of Weekend Clash

Published on: 21 October 2016

"?He may play for AC Milan, but that hasn't stopped star striker Carlos Bacca from praising Juventus' veteran keeper Gianluigi Buffon and his teammate Andrea Barzagli ahead of their clash on Saturday.


Speaking to "?Corriere della Sera, he said of his admiration: "How will I score against Buffon? This is football. When you play well you're a phenomenon, but when you have a couple of bad games, things change. It happened with Buffon, even with all that he has given."

Sad people think neuer is the best keeper in the world. They should watch a few Juventus games and watch Buffon Perform at 38 years old.

He also added: "I think he is one of the three best goalkeepers in history, if he had never made a mistake he would not be normal, but he came back to being great and redeemed everything. We hope that on Saturday he won't be so good!


"Another player I admire at Juve? Barzagli. He is not spoken of much, but he's a great defender, he plays simply, and is always focussed. He's a great asset to have in the team".

Buffon recently came under criticism for his less than stellar displays for the Italian champions, as well at the Italian national team. He was at fault for the side conceding a goal to Spain, during the 1-1 draw earlier this month.


The 38-year-old shot stopper however, was at his usual best against Lyon in the Champions League during the week, keeping out a penalty from Alexandre Lacazette in a narrow fought victory.


Milan and Juventus will clash at the San Siro on Saturday evening. Milan currently sit third in the league after an impressive start to the Serie A. They are currently 5 pts behind leaders Juventus.
