“I did get a call from Flamengo, but I think I’ll be staying much closer to home,” Buffon told TNT Brasil.

“I don’t know if there’s any secret to playing on at 43. I guess it depends on your character, your body and of course good luck, because that makes a big difference.”

He saved Domenico Berardi’s penalty last night, as Juventus won 3-1 away to Sassuolo.
