Legendary Italian footballer and Juventus club legend Gianluigi Buffon has made up his mind - if Juventus doesn't win the UEFA Champions League, he will hang up his football boots after this season. The 39-year-old football veteran received the FIFA award for the best goalkeeper of the year this week. However, G. Buffon revealed that he is not inclined to continue his career further, but would change his mind for a triumph in Europe. "This is my last season and I am fully confident in my decision," G. Buffon said on "Sky Sport Italia". "Another year or two wouldn't add anything I haven't achieved already in my entire career." "The only way that would make me stay in football is winning the Champions League. Then I would have the opportunity to fight for the FIFA Club World Cup. Maybe I wouldn't play in both games, but Szczesny and I would surely agree on that. I think it would be completely normal to expect that next season I wouldn't be the first choice in goal. Szczesny is excellent and that would be totally normal practice," the Italian added. Furthermore, the goalkeeper will face his last tournament with the Italian national team this summer - the 2018 World Cup. G. Buffon started his professional career in 1995 and has played a total of 853 matches.
