"The experience at PSG was the best of my life. I must say that leaving was probably the biggest mistake in my career. Why? The team told me: "Gigi, we are happy with your performance, but you will not play in the Champions League, Areola will be the first choice". I stopped and told myself that this was wrong. I talked about respect, you can't come to Buffon in March and say he won't play next season.

In Paris, I felt like I was in the center of the world. After two months, I spoke French, I talked to people on the street. Apart from being a top-level professional, I felt like a happy person, it was the most wonderful experience. Even today, my children ask me why we left Paris," Buffon said on the Bobo TV Twitch channel.
