#4 Buffon to become the oldest ever Champions League winner
At 39 years and 126 days, Gianluigi Buffon may be in the twilight of his career, but his consistent performances suggest he isn’t going to stop anytime soon.
The Juventus legend is still going strong with no visible signs of decline and will be hoping to add the one trophy that has eluded him in his otherwise glittering career – the Champions League.
Should he finally put his hands on the trophy after today’s final, he will not only add another winners medal to his coffer but also hold the record for being the oldest winner of the trophy.
Dino Zoff (41 years and 2 months in 1983 final) and Edwin van der Sar (40 years and 6 months in 2011 final) are the two oldest players to feature in a European final, however, both ended up on the losing side.
