G.Buffon on "Serie A" clubs' failure: "It's shame and disappointment"

"Milan's "Inter" and "Napoli" clubs had good chances to advance to the next stage of the UEFA Champions League, but ultimately fell short in the knockout rounds. Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon expressed regret for the failure of his homeland teams. "I am sorry for both teams. I feel sorry for Napoli for the beautiful last team series of matches in the group, while Inter just needed to win at home against PSV. Of course, it is sad also because if Inter and Napoli had been successful, I would have had more chances to return at least briefly to Italy next spring - this could have been decided by the tournament's fate. Is this a step back for Serie A clubs? No, but looking from a patriotic point of view, I say that it is shameful and disappointing," the legend said.
