[PAR] [TLE] Gianluigi Buffon [SEP] Gianluigi "Gigi" Buffon (] , ; born 28 January 1978) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.  He captains both Serie A club Juventus and the Italy national team.  He is widely regarded by players, pundits and managers to be one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and, by some, to be the greatest ever.  Buffon is one of only eighteen players to have made at least 1,000 professional career appearances; with 171 international caps, Buffon is also the most capped player in the history of the Italian national team, the fifth-most capped male international footballer of all time, and the most capped European international player ever.  Buffon is known for his "outstanding shot-stopping" and for being "a vocal organizer of the defence and a key dressing room personality".  He is currently the most expensive goalkeeper in history, following his €52 million transfer from Parma to Juventus in 2001.  Buffon holds the record for the most clean sheets in Serie A, and with the Italy national team; he also holds the record for the longest streak without conceding a goal in Serie A history: over 12 league matches, he went unbeaten for 974 consecutive minutes during the 2015–16 season, as well as having achieved the most consecutive clean sheets (10) in Serie A in that same season.
