Del Piero’s Best-Ever Season – Buffon

Del Piero’s Best-Ever Season – Buffon

Gianluigi Buffon says that in the time he has been at the club, this is the best season that Alessandro Del Piero has ever had.

The Golden Boy is winning the plaudits of the entire peninsula after embarking on a simply stunning recent run of form.

His hat-trick against Atalanta yesterday afternoon took his tally to 17 for the season in Serie A, 20 in all competitions.

"Alessandro Del Piero is having the best season since I have been at Juve,” said Buffon, who joined the Bianconeri in 2001 from Parma.

“He is doing something really sensational.”

Buffon also praised Juventus as a whole this season, saying that they have more than exceeded expectations in their first season back in the top-flight.

"Nobody expected us to reach the Champions League so soon,” said the goalkeeper.

“Initially, I also had some doubts, as everyone did.”

Juve are all but guaranteed of a Champions League place now, but as they are in third place, they will probably have to go through the preliminary rounds first.

"I hope it does not cost anything,” Buffon said cautiously.

“In any case you must never feel pleased with what you have got when you are in this shirt.

“We have been great in not losing against either Inter, Roma or Milan and I say that the team deserves a nice vote of about 8.5 for the season.”
