The legendary goalkeeper of Juventus and the Italy national team Gianluigi Buffon, at the age of 17, played his first match in the second division of Italian football for the team Parma. Luigi entered the field as a goalkeeper in the 84th minute of the match, in which his team suffered a defeat from Spezia 2-3. Despite the defeat, Parma, under the guidance of former Juventus and Milan star Filippo Inzaghi, secured second place, qualifying for the first division.
Luigi Buffon, who scored six goals in 20 matches for the youth team of Parma, has attracted attention in the media lately. Born in Turin, he chose to represent the Czech Republic national team, the country of his mother, and was called up to participate in the matches of the youth team up to 18 years old. His father, Gianluigi Buffon, completed his football career in August 2023, parting ways with the Italy national team at the end of 2017.
He became a world champion as part of the Italy national team in 2006 and won ten titles as champion of Italy with Juventus. Additionally, he holds the record for the most matches played in the Italian top league (657).
