Andrea Pirlo believes Gianluigi Buffon deserves to win the Ballon d'Or if Juventus overcome Real Madrid in the Champions League final. Buffon is aiming to win Europe's top club


competition for the first time, as Juve prepare for Saturday's decider in Cardiff. The star goalkeeper has enjoyed an illustrious career that has included eight Serie A titles and


multiple other cups, but only two runner-up finishes in the Champions League. You may like His former club and Italy team-mate, Pirlo, said Buffon would be a worthy Ballon d'Or winner


if Juve were successful at the Principality Stadium. "I think so. This time I think, it's the right year," he told Corriere della Sera when asked if a Juve win should result


in Buffon claiming the individual prize. Either Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi have won the honour in the past nine years, while former Dynamo Moscow shot-stopper Lev Yashin (1963) is the


only goalkeeper to win it. New York City midfielder Pirlo said he hoped Buffon would finally lift the Champions League trophy. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to

delighted if he wins this cup because he has proven to be one of the best."
