4 legends pick their favourites for the Champions League title this season

#3 Gianluigi Buffon

SSC Napoli v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C

Former Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has named the one team that could win Europe's elite title merely because they have 'the best player in the world'.

To the Paris Saint-Germain man, Catalan giants Barcelona are the ones to win the title because of the presence of their star ace Lionel Messi.

Speaking about competition favourites, Buffon said (via The Express), "Champions League favourites? You have to say Barcelona because they have the best player in the world."

"Then Juventus who signed the other player who is considered the best."

When asked about his future, the Italian said, "My Future? I want to play until I am competitive."

"I was lucky to receive offers from many big clubs and I want to continue. I have time to give up."

The Italian goalkeeper also spoke about his current club Paris Saint-Germain's UCL campaign saying, "I watched the first three games of PSG on TV from the dressing room, not from the stadium."

"I suffer too much. The Napoli game will be tough, Ancelotti has improved Napoli, they have certainties that they didn't know they had," he said.

"After the Real Madrid game [last season] I was very angry."

"I didn't know what to say, the young Buffon emerged."
