Buffon: Real were chicken soup


Buffon: Real were chicken soup

Gianluigi Buffon does not believe Juventus have been ‘cured’ by the win over Real Madrid. “It was just some great chicken soup.” “Are we cured? No, I think we’re still not back to our best, although that was some great chicken soup,” grinned the goalkeeper.

The Bianconeri were in a deep crisis with a series of dismal results in Serie A and the Champions League – including back-to-back defeats against Palermo and Napoli – before Tuesday’s 2-1 triumph. Buffon missed that game and will be out for at least another month with a thigh strain. He is set to sit on the sidelines and watch his Juventus teammates take on Turin in the Derby della Mole on Saturday evening.

“Considering the difficult time we are going through, I would love to get out there on the field, but nothing will change for us or our opponents if the second choice goalkeeper is playing.” Alex Manninger has impressed in Buffon’s absence, but Torino are also missing the injured Matteo Sereni.
