Buffon in running for Golden Ball award
Gianluigi Buffon is undeniably the best goalkeeper in the world. And this is confirmed at the end of each year, when the various footballers' award nominations are announced, as his name is always on the list. Even 6 months away from Europe haven't tarnished Super Gigi's reputation.
So after being nominated for FIFA World Player of the year, Buffon also made the shortlist of world players nominated for the Golden Ball, the award given out by France Football magazine. After coming second last year behind his friend Cannavaro, this is another chance for him to try and win.
The goalkeeper is the only Juventus player on the list, but there are plenty of other Italians, as many as eight in total: apart from Buffon, we find Pirlo, Gattuso, Maldini, Inzaghi, Totti, Toni and current award holder Fabio Cannavaro.
