G.Buffon: there will be no second thousand matches

Gianluigi Buffon's match against the Albanian national team will be special.

On Friday, the legendary Italian goalkeeper will play his 1000th career match. "It will be a great honor for me and I am somewhat concerned. Of course, I can assure you that there won't be another thousand matches!" - said Buffon.

Earlier, the 39-year-old player had mentioned that he was considering the end of his career after the 2018 World Cup, but now he did not speak so assuredly: "I will think about it and listen to my heart."

Buffon warned that the Albanian national team should not be underestimated, as they can provide surprises. "Football in this country has significantly improved over the past two years and they have shown what they are capable of in the European Championship in France."
