The veteran guardameta has lived a lot of years of football, but he same recognises that never it had confronted to a team with the offensive potential that has the FC Barcelona, because of the presence of Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar Jr.

"I have had the fortune to find me few times with Messi"

"We are evolving and have given him a turn to our game. I seat me optimistic, but am conscious of who have in front", has commented, signalling of the Barça that "has a philosophy of game that all know and that has given him a lot of titles in the last seasons. Have in front surely the strongest team that can find, but will be beautiful to see if we can improve".

Buffon Is "enamoured" of the game of the Barça and admires deeply to Leo Messi. "I have had the fortune to find it few times and always have had the fortune to have defences very good. I think that what pass will depend on one same, but a lot also of the destination".

The FC Barcelona, favourite in the eliminatory

It plants to the FC Barcelona like favourite to double party in the eliminatory. "To double party is the favourite. The Barcelona has so much strength that the destination creates it to him he same. His victories or his defeats depend largely of himself same. This gives that think in the big respect that have by them, but do not want to be a victim designed, want to look for an opportunity".

And it recognises that it marvelled the traced back historical of the FC Barcelona to the PSG (6-1). "I thought that the life had given me the opportunity to learn something new. When you think that you have seen it all, see something distinct. I seat devotion by the players of the Barça, but after the 4-0 thought that the PSG would mark at least a goal and it was necessary to take into account the thickness of the team. I have learnt that it was necessary to look for the luck".
