The Juventus number one commented about the Champions League draw on his official website: «It could have been worse. I will be returning to three cities in which I already played. I am happy to finally enter the Allianz Arena».
The day after, the talks are still about the draws of the Champions League. Even at Juventus, after the comments by Blanc, Secco and Ferrara, even Gigi Buffon commented about the groups through his official website www.gianluigibuffon.com.
After having read the names of Bayern Munich, Bordeaux and Maccabi Haifa, the number one summarized everything by saying: «Manageable group but it depends on us to make it so». Buffon was not really unhappy in fact: «It could have been worse. As always, it will be the field to decide and we will have to face each match with the right attitude to make sure that this group is really manageable».
Besides the sports value, the keeper looked at the group also from a logistic point of view. On the eve of the draws he had expressed his wish to go to play in a nice stadium and having found Bayern on his way is a guarantee: «Finally I will be able to enter the Allianz Arena. In 2005 I was injured to my shoulder and could not play. In the past years I have been able to go to both of the other cities: Bordeaux with Parma in 1999 where we qualified for the final and to Tel Aviv after having already qualified and it was Chimenti who played making some good saves».
Buffon then got back to talking about the draws and commented the groupings of the other Italian teams, especially the ones from Milan. «Seeing Real Madrid-Milan and Inter-Barcellona, I think the blindfolded goddess has really enjoyed herself!
