This guy show Penaldo pepper.. Denied Penaldo of world cup semi final, euro 2021 and so much more


Ronaldo will be very happy to hear this
When did Portugal play Italy in the world cup?
The reverse is actually true. Ronaldo frustrated him in the Champions league and denied him of that.

Dida didn’t Even played a single match in the 2002 world cup. Dida was fantastic but dude, he is no where near Buffon.


The best of Dida was the Champions League final between AC Milan vs Juventus at Old Trafford, AC Milan won via penalty kick. That final both Dida and Buffon was at their best but Milan won. Despite that, Buffon was better than Dida as goalkeepers.

I was shell shocked when I read the gibberish
Great modern keepers are
Kahn Buffon Schmeichel Casillas van der Sar Cech, maybe Lehmann

Dida Valdes Reina Barthez are in the clown group
Not forgetting Manuel Neuer who is arguably the GOAT

Buffon is a guy that in ramifications is worth celebrating, he came, he saw and he conquered. I know he many time you'll think it's all over for Italy but this guy will just come to their rescue.

Buffon deserve an hero retirement mehn, he has paid his dues.......just try to doing your best is the lesson meant here

No one compares the two ok, Dida won Champions League, World Cup, Seria A but Buffon is ahead of him in all ramification.

How on earth is Buffon ahead of Dida if he never won the UEFA Champions League??!

Buffon was the first goalkeeper in history to keep a clean sheet in the Champions League in 4 different decades:
🧤 1990
🧤2000
🧤2010
🧤2020
GOATkeeper. smiley


Pls explain, no vex!
Is he kept these clean sheets in the years aforementioned, then how was his team usually eliminated from the competition without goal concession? It's not just very clear to me!

Good morning, AC Milan had the best of squad then, i will encourage you to google AC Milan squad and Juve squad then ok. Juve even held the match to a goalless draw after 120 minutes of play.

Penalty kick is not an avenue to judge goalkeepers but their actual composure, performance and clean sheet. Not even that Dida was outstanding in that penalty because David Tranzequet and one other player played wide.

Lastly, I'm a Milan supporter, i watched Milan during Stam days. Dida was good but Buffon was better.

I thought Stam was a CB in Lazio with Hernan Crespo and Claudio Lopez as at then🤔😏 if my memory is still clear with those times i was so addicted to WinningEleven in Play station 1..
Ọmọ, football those days were the sweetest!

Back to our talk.. I greet you too.. See eeeh, you're right in your aspect, my brother.. In terms of performance, GiGi Buffon is far better than Dida but in the world of football which you and i know, it's the team trophy that counts much more than individual achievements!!! Let's use CR7 and Kylian Mbappe as case study.. In terms of personal achievements in world football, Mbappe is not near half of CR7's.. But Mbappe has won the highest trophy in football which CR7 has never and might never win, not minding the incredible superstars Portugal have put in place over these years! ...... What A Wow!

I trust you get my point now!
But you're perfectly right in your submission!

What is more than the world cup.
Since the name was changed to UCL, mention UCL winning keepers that are better than Buffon . Only the names mentioned below are worthy challengers.

peter Schmeichel, Petr Cech, manuel Neur, Oliver Kahn and Iker Casillas. The rest are no match.

UCL isn't the ONLY criterion for defining great keepers

You aptly got what i said, you are indeed a good analyst with good reading of the leather-round-object game.

Dida is still in Milan in the coaching crew and Buffon will definitely be absolve into Italian senior team or Juve.
