Buffon looks to Europe
Gianluigi Buffon thinks Juventus can start celebrating a Champions League spot and prepare to win the trophy next term.
“I think this victory definitively leaves Milan behind us and takes us away from the direct opponents for a Champions League place, which at this stage are Fiorentina and Sampdoria,” said the goalkeeper after the 3-2 win over the Rossoneri.
“Both of these sides have tough games on Sunday, so this could prove to be a very favourable round for Juve.”
The Viola in fourth place pay visit to leaders Inter, while Samp go to struggling Reggina.
Buffon admits he was concerned when Super Pippo Inzaghi struck twice to put Milan 2-1 up.
“In games like this it is very important for everyone to have the confidence in themselves and their teammates, so I was worried when we conceded such silly goals that some might lose hope.”
They fought back with a Hasan Salihamidzic brace to defeat Milan and the goalkeeper is now already focused on next season.
“If the club said we’d remain with the same players next season, maybe a couple more than we have now, then I would be content.
“What Juventus really want is to win the Champions League. Just look at Liverpool, who haven’t made an impact in the Premier League for years and yet are always doing well in the Champions League.
“It proves that even if you don’t have the biggest or strongest squad, you can make yourself heard in that competition.”
