Buffon: Juve On A Par With Inter And Roma

Juventus shot stopper Gianluigi Buffon has insisted that the Bianconeri are on the same level as both Inter and Roma.

The Old Lady beat the Nerazzurri 2-1 to conquer the San Siro in the Derby D’Italia on Saturday night. The shot stopper is currently away on international duty but he believes Juve are just as good as the top two teams in Serie A.

The Azzurri number one also believes his side need to get some new faces in if they are to challenge for the Scudetto next year.

“I think it’s right to say that we are on the same level as Inter and Roma, we beat both of them,” said Buffon.

“We stunned everyone, we have reopened the Scudetto race by playing a great game,”

“If our next games go well then at the end of the season we can talk about achieving something great because it will be a season to remember.

“Unfortunately we lost with the so called small teams and this has made a difference between us and the teams in front.

“At the start of the season we didn’t seem that competitive, even for fourth place.

“To win the league we need at least two big name players, and to win the Champions League we need several.

“We did Roma a massive favour and now it’s down to them to take advantage. They have to choose whether they want the Scudetto or the Champions League.

“However Inter are a great side but they are going through a delicate moment but they have an incredible strength so it’s difficult to see them not winning the Scudetto.”
