The Italian football legend Gianluigi Buffon has played against many world-renowned footballers throughout his long career.

However, when asked by the publication "Corriere della Sera" to choose the most formidable opponent, he pointed to a somewhat unexpected name.

"I played against three-time players. I had to compete with Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andres Iniesta...

However, the best was Neymar. He should have won five "Ballon d'Or" titles for his mastery and personal qualities," said G. Buffon.

The Italian played alongside the Brazilian in the 2018/2019 season, when he wore the PSG team's jersey.
